Document Description
The Retreat at Benedict Canyon Project (Project) proposes the demolition of two existing single-family residences and the construction of a 59-guest room hotel and eight single-family residences on an approximately 33-acre property in Benedict Canyon. The Project consists of hotel uses within 19 buildings on the northern 16-acre portion of the site, and eight single-family residences on the southern 17-acre portion of the site. The main five-story hotel building includes up to 18 guest rooms, 7,960 square feet of bar/restaurant uses, 10,900 square feet of spa/fitness uses, outdoor pool and spa amenities, and an additional two floors of subterranean parking, for a total of 60,860 square feet of building floor area. An additional 15 bungalow-style hotel buildings, each up to two-stories in height, would be dispersed throughout the hotel portion of the site, and would contain the remaining 41 hotel guest rooms with a total of 54,500 square feet of floor area. Three ancillary hotel buildings containing the main valet and hotel reception area, a rooftop restaurant, screening room, administrative uses, other hotel support services, and parking, would total 28,840 square feet of building floor area. Overall, the total floor area for the hotel portion of the site would be 144,650 square feet. Access between the main hotel building and main parking structure could include a funicular railway. The eight single-family residences on the eastern portion of the site would range in size from approximately 12,000 to 48,000 square feet of residential floor area, and would have a combined residential floor area of up to 181,000 square feet. Development of the overall site would also include the removal of existing trees and vegetation and the installation of new landscaping, pathways, exterior decks, and other outdoor amenities. Preliminary site grading would require approximately 117,230 cubic yards of total grading and result in the off-site export of approximately 950 cubic yards of soil, while the remaining 116,280 cubic yards of cut would be balanced on-site. Maximum excavation depths would be approximately 62 feet below existing grade.
