City Council Staff Report A-99-2 & PD-99-2 November 5, 1999 Page 3 of 8 Rezoning The applicant is proposing to rezone the site to a CC(PD) District. The rezoning permits development of the property with some flexibility toward zoning requirements under the planned development process. Planned Development The planned development is for a 121 room, four-story hotel and a one-, two-, and three-story self -storage facility with approximately 137,000 square feet of floor area. The site has a total area of 5.47 acres. It will be divided into two parcels: 2.11 acres for the hotel and 3.36 acres for the self -storage. Reciprocal easements between the divided parcels will be provided for access, utilities and maintenance. Access to site the will be a driveway at Lewelling Boulevard near the intersection of Embers Way and another driveway on Embers Way in front of the hotel. Hotel The hotel will be a Hawthorne Suites Limited which is a product designed for the business traveler. Kitchens will not be provided in this hotel, but will include a small refrigerator and a microwave oven in the rooms. In addition to the 121 guestrooms, the plans for the ground floor public spaces include the foyer, an exercise room, spa, two meeting rooms (75-person capacity total), a boardroom, breakfast room, and lounge. Self -Storage The self -storage facility will be for Allsafe Self Storage. It will be constructed on the 3.36-acre, "L-shape" site. The storage facility will have approximately 137,000 square feet (reduced from previous proposal for 150,000 square feet) that will include three, one-story storage buildings; one, two-story storage building; and one, three-story storage building. The existing Victorian home will serve as the office and manager's residences. The facility will have approximately 935 storage units. The self -storage facility would be open from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and the office would be open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Three full-time resident managers will be employed at the site with one part-time relief manager.
