Document Description
Master Conditional Use Permit ("CUP 16-01"): to allow hotel uses in excess of 25,000 sq. ft. The Project includes two proposed hotels on lots 1 and 7 and are labeled as Buildings A and B. Lot 1 includes a 161-room hotel with 86,568 sq. ft. and Lot 7 includes a 90-room hotel with 47,760 sq. ft. Because the proposed hotel uses exceed 25,000 sq. ft. each, approval of a CUP is required. The request also authorizes an automotive service station/convenience store and a reduction in site parking.
Plot Plan ("PP 16-02"): to authorizes the phased development of ten buildings, 219,695 sq. ft. on 14.41 acres (Unit 4. Lot 4) in a mix of commercial uses, including fast food restaurants , a gas station/convenience store with 16 gas pumps, and a mixed-use building with fast food, restaurant, and retail uses in the south western corner of the project site during Phase 1. Phase 2 would include the development of both hotels, two retail buildings, and a restaurant in the northern and eastern portions of the Project site. A total of four driveways are planned, including three along Opportunity Way and one along Van Buren Blvd. Building heights would range between 26.5 feet and 50 feet. Proposed buildings would be single-story, with the exception of the two hotels, which would be developed as three-story buildings. A total of 606 parking stalls are included for the Project. As proposed, the Plot Plan was analyzed using a "Building Code and Parking Spaces/Vehicle Occupancy" methodology to determine compliance with Meridian Specific Plan SP-5 airport compatibility provisions. Although submitted and presented, the final building site layout/design for the development of Phase II have not been confirmed. At the time of final building site layout/design is determined, the project applicant will submit to the March JPA staff the required density calculations, identifying compliance with Meridian Specific Plan SP-5 A3 airport compatibility provisions and the Riverside County Airport Land Use Plan provisions, for each individual site/building site/ building within Phase 2.
Specific Plan Amendment ("SPA 16-01 A3"): to incorporate the "site exception language" from, Volume 1 of the 2014 "March Air Reserve Base / Inland Port Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan" into Appendix B of the 2010 Meridian Specific Plan (SP5, A3). The language allows for specific site exception allowing for development of a hotel or hotels on the 13-acre site situated within Compatibility Zone B2 and bordered by I-215 on the east and Van Buren Blvd on the south.
Tract Map ("TM 37116"): to subdivide the project site into ten legal lots, with a minimum lot size of 30,000 sf or ranging between 0.85 acre and 2.83 acres in size.
Variance ("V 16-01"): to exceed the maximum height standard for a freeway sign as required by the Development Regulations set forth in the March Business Center Design Guidelines Meridian Specific Plan Amendment (ASP-5). The proposed signage would be 60 feet in height and 500 feet in total sq. footage area, which exceed the currently adopted March Business Center Design Guidelines restrictions of 45 feet in height and 150 sq. ft. in area.
