Petition PB-15-12 SUP eda engineers-surveyors-planners, inc., agent for H.I. Resorts. A review of the glazing requirements for a hotel in the MU-1 zoning district. Zoned: MU-1 (8-30 units/acre mixed use low intensity). Located at 3245 SW Archer Road
Explanation
On May 26, 2016 the Board discussed the issue of whether they had granted the applicant a waiver to building wall articulation glazing requirement, it was determined that the waiver was not granted. During the Board’s discussion on this issue the members concluded that they would grant the waiver given that the building would be facing a private drive and not a public road.
The applicant has indicated that 18.3% (excluding operable glass doors) of the 732 square feet surface area will have glazing (see attached elevations). With the operable glass doors the percentage goes up to 25%.
The land development code would have required 30% of the area to be glass for front building walls.
Fiscal Note
None.
Recommendation
Staff to City Plan Board - The City Plan Board approve the wavier to the building wall articulation glazing requirement for the Candlewood Hotel Special Use Permit.
