Title
Resolution to Approve 202 South Division Street PUD Site Plan and Development Agreement, 0.20 Acre (CPC Recommendation: Motion to Approve Failed - 4 Yeas and 4 Nays)
Memorandum
Attached is a resolution requesting approval to construct a 62,145-square foot, nine-story, 120-room hotel building. As contained in the PUD supplemental regulations, the petitioner has secured 70 unrestricted parking permits in the Liberty Square parking deck and an additional 50 parking permits restricted to use between 3:30 p.m. and 9:30 a.m. This proposal replaces the Metro 202 planned project site plan approved by City Council in 2006.
A development agreement has been prepared that addresses public and private utilities, on-site storm water management, footing drain disconnections, parking, video or other documentation of foundation elements for those within 300 feet of the subject property, noise, and elevations. The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the agreement and the petitioner has acknowledged concurrence with its provisions.
The City Planning Commission, at its meeting of November 1, 2007, recommended denial of this rezoning (four yeas and four nays). As indicated in the attached Planning Commission minutes, concerns expressed about the proposal involved compliance with the PUD standards, the benefits provided as part of the PUD, historic properties, and traffic.
