No further environmental review is required for the proposed project. <br />Planning Commission Review and Actions <br />On June 2, 2022 the Planning Commission held a public hearing (continued from May 19) and <br />recommended approval to the City Council on a 5-1-1 vote with Commissioner Mendoza voting <br />no and Chair Boldt abstaining due to a recusal. The Commission asked clarifying questions of <br />staff and recommended two minor modifications to the conditions of approval to address design <br />details related to insetting of windows for the overall project and replacement of a fence material <br />proposed for the hotel.
