This being the time and place for the Public Hearing on the above matter, June Catalano, Development Services Director, discussed the traffic study for the project and said, even after the residence inn is constructed, intersection capacity would not be greater than 50 %. She said a peer review of the study was conducted. She discussed parking for the inn and said it is anticipated that it would need 60 -70% of required parking, or 95 spaces. She said the on -site parking for the inn contains 98 spaces. In response to Council questions, staff discussed the impact of the inn on use of the launching ramp. Staff said there would be 102 on- street parking spaces. Council Member Myers said he felt there would be adequate space for boaters to maneuver. Ms. Catalano said if problems arise, staff would work on the issue. Vice Mayor Kerr said there is a serious problem with traffic on Marina Boulevard. He said he is concerned that, although the hotel may not impact it, he is concerned about total buildout at the Marina and said it should be studied. The City Manager said there is a 96 -97 budget proposal to study Fairway Drive, and when the conference center plans come through, there will be discussions and studies related to ingress and egress, etc. Council Member Myers noted there are a lot of inoperative vehicles on Marina Boulevard by the apartment complexes.
