RADIUS VACATION Zuni and College CASE #29-73 Mr. Supinger stated that the request is for vacation of a small amount of street right-of- way i ·n Northwest Englewood at South Zuni Street and West College Avenue. The radius is on the ·southeast corner . of South Zuni Street and West College Avenue, and is a 100 ft. radius. When the streets were paved, the paving followed the typical intersection, and did not follow the radius curvatur~. This 100 ft. radius is not needed for street purposes, and it is recommended that the radius be vacated. Discussion followed. Mrs. Henning asked for clarification of the statement in the staff report that the applicant and property owners should be put on notice that 40 ft. might be required for West Yale Avenue. Mr. Supinger pointed out that the Planni'ng Commission re- cently recommended to City Council revision of the Master Street Plan , in which +evision rights-of-way were designated on specific streets. West Yale.Avenue is designated as a major arterial, with an 80 ft •. right-of-way; the south 40 ,ft. of the projected street has been dedicated. The north 40 ft. of the projecte'd street would be the south 40 ft. oi the subject property, and it was the determination of the staff that property owner and applicant should be no~ified of this needed right-of-way. If the revis~on of the Master Street Plan is approv.ed by City Council, all improvements would have to be s 'et back to provide for the needed right-of-way, and indeed, the right-of-way would have to be dedicated before Building Permits issue. Mr._Supinger noted that the dedication of 40 ft. right-of-way would cut into the proposed . parking area; he stated that he questioned whether there .would be sufficient parking area for the use following dedica~ion of the right-of-way. Mrs. Henning noted that the public hearing on the master street plan revision was three weeks away, and that ~t could be five weeks before finalization~ Mrs. Stanley asked "does this Master Street Plan pertain to the industrial area or the total city?" Mr. Supinger stated that the Master Street Plan revision, approved by the Planning Commission in April, .pertained basically to industrial streets in the City. ' . . Mr. Martin asked if the applicant was aw.are of the need for the 40 ft. right-of-way? Mr. Supin,ge.r stated that they were. Mr. Fairchild, representing the applicant, st.a ted that the property owner is aware of the right-of-way requirement. He stated that he did not know whether or not it would be dedicated. Mr. Weist entered and took his place with the Commission. Page 1578 Mr. Brown asked if it was urgent that a decision be made upon this matter at this meeting? Mr. Supinger stated he did not know whether the applicants were in a rush or not. Mr. Fairchild stated that Caissons, Inc. are buyers of his clien~'s property, and that he is sure they would like to get started with construction as soon as possible; however, Mr. Fairchild also noted that he "can't guarantee they will buy it," and noted that he bad previously sold properties in the northwest Englewood area, and the street requirements were 15 ft. rather than 40 ft. Mr. Supinger noted that this matter would, if approved by the Commission, be referred to City Council for their consideration. Discussion followed. Henning moved: Martin seconded: The Planning Commission recommend to City Council that the following described radius be vacated, and that Council consider, in conjunction with the radius vacation, the matter of the 40 ft. dedication for right- of-way on West Yale Avenue. Beginning at a point 30 ft. E. and 198.6 ft. N. of the SW corner of the SW 1 /4 to the point of beginning, which is on the E. R.O.W. line of South Zuni Street, thence N. on said R.O.W. line a distance of 68.78 ft. to the S. R.O.W. line of West College Avenue; thence E. along said R.O.W. line a distance of 95 ft.; thence SW'l6 on a radius of 100 ft. a distance of 125.32 ft. to point of beginning. Total area: 1,750.62 sq. ft. AYES: Jorgenson; Lentsch; Martin; Stanley; Tanguma; Weist ; Brown; Henning NAYS: None ABSENT: Vobejda The motion carried. IV. CONDITIONAL USE & OFF-STREET PARKING Hotel in I-1 Zone District CASE #30-73 Mr. Supinger stated that the request is for approval of a Conditional Use --a hotel in an I-1 Zone District, and of the off-street parking plan for that use. The proposed hotel will be seven stories, 200 rooms, and will be developed by T.W. Anderson & Associates. Mr. Supinger stated that the hotel will have seven stories, with an additional floor of under- ground parking; there will also be a two-level parking structure adjacent to the hotel. Mr. Tanguma asked if the ~raffic congestion bad been considered? Mr. Supinger stated that the staff bad insufficient time to work out the matter of traffic patterns, but is confident that it can be worked out with members of the State Highway Department and the local traff:ic engineer. Mr. Bob Heister stated he was architect for the proposed hotel; he stated that they were aware of a traffic congestion problem in the area, and have proposed the main entrance to the hotel from the rear. Traffic will be brought off Hampden onto Inca and will turn into a 30 ft. wide carriage entrance. Mr. Heister stated that he felt the one big problem could be if the carriage entrance is maintained as one-way, traffic would be exiting onto Jason Street, and some motorists might attempt a left turn onto U.S. 285. Mr. Heister stated that motorists might also be routed back to South Inca Street to turn onto U.S. 285 at the signal. Mr. Martin suggested the possibility of making South Jason Street one-way southbound. Dis- cussion followed. Mr. Lentsch asked why there would be no curb cuts on South Jason Street. Mr. Heister stated that it is the intent of the developer to control all traffic from the carriage entrance. Room tenants will park underground; service parking will be in the parking structure. Mr. Heister sta·ted tba t there will be a "truck entrance" from Jason; other than this, all en- trances will be from South Inca, with exits onto South Jason Street. Mr.Brown stated that he was very pleased to see the plans for the hotel, and stated that he was sure the City had the expertise to solve the traffic problems. Mrs. Henning asked Mr. Lee to explain the difference between Conditional Uses and Non-conforming Uses. Mr. Lee stated that a conditional use was entirely diffe~ent than a non-conforming use; it is more closely related to a "planned building group", in that the Commission bas the right to control all facets of the development: where the building is placed, where the parking is located, how the site will be used, etc. Mr. Lee stated that "YQU can condition the con- ditional use". Mr. Lee further stated that a conditional use is "approved according to what- ever plan is submitted to the Commission, and the developer must follow that plan. If the plan is substantially changed, it must again come before the Commission for approval." Dis- cussion followed. Mr. Supinger noted that the st~ff recommendation should read "that the off-street parking plans be approved subject to compliance with the design standards in the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance and subject to approval by the Department of Public Works and the State Highway Department of the turning movement from and to U.S. 285 and South Jason Street." Mrs. Henning asked if there would be pedestrian access through the 20 ft. landscaping strip along the north side of the site? Is this to be required in a landscaping plan? Mr.Supinger stated that be would suggest that there be no sidewalk on the north side of the site. Mrs. Henning stated that there will be some foot traffic, and would the City be com- pounding problems by not requiring provisions for this foot traffic. Mr. Supinger stated that those patrons of the hotel who wanted to cross U.S. 285 could do so at South Inca Street with the signal. Mr. Supinger pointed out that there is sufficient right-of-way for U.S. 285 at the present time that a sidewalk could be installed, and can be even if the develop- ment was built right to the property line. Discussion followed. Mrs. Henning asked if it was felt the pool atop the parking structure would present problems? Mr. Heister stated that he has designed four or five apartment houses with pools atop them, and there bas been no problem; he does not forsee any problems with this design for the parking structure. Mr. Lentsch questioned the access to the parking structure. Mr. Heister stated that it is a "double slope" ramp, and further explained the access. I I I I I I Page 1579 Mr. Martin asked how many parking spaces were being provided? Mr. Supinger stated that 347 are required; 457 parking spaces are provided on the plans. Mrs. Henning asked if the snorkle could clear the "bridge?" . Mr. Heister .stated there was a 20 ft. clearance, Mr. Supinger asked Mr. Heister the maximum number that could be accommodated for a banquet. Mr. Heister stated 350 at one seating. Mr. Jorgenson asked if ther.e was any conflict with Mountain Bell on moving the telephone facilities? Mr. Heister stated there was no conflict. Discussion followed. Martin moved: Tanguma seconded: The Planning Commission approve the Conditional Use of a Hotel in an I-1 Zone District at 950 West Hampden Avenue, .and the off-street parking plan of said Conditional Use with the following restrictions: 1. A detailed .landscaping plan shall be submitted to and approved by the Director of Community Development prior to issuance of a building permit. 2. The off-street parking plans shall be in compliance with the design standards in the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, and subject to approval by the State Highway Department and the Department of Public Works of the turning movement to and from U.S. 285 at South Jason Street. Mr. Lentsch stated that he still questioned the matter of the sidewalk. Further discussion followed. The vote was called: AYES: Lentsch; Martin; Stanley; Tanguma ; Weist; Brown; Henning; Jorgenson NAYS: None ABSENT: Vobej da The motion carried. V. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 1974 -1979 Mr. Supinger stated that the Capital Improvement Program has been discussed for several weeks; the staff has submitted to the Commission all of the various departmental requests, and have also submitted this evening the staff priority list. The Commission now should present a priority list to the City Manager for his consideration and submission to City Council. Discussion followed.
