Document Description
The applicant proposes to construct a three-story, 120-room hotel with a rooftop observation deck and garden on the southern portion of the 5.9 acre property. The hotel also includes a café/bar on the roof deck, and swimming pool for guests. The height of the hotel at the highest point is 52 feet and 10 inches at tower elements. The proposed housing project is located on the northern portion of the property and consists of a 100 percent affordable rental apartment complex of 71 units and a manager’s unit, in six buildings, with community rooms, landscaped courtyards and pedestrian paths with a maximum height of 43 feet. Fifteen percent of the units will be restricted to very low income renters through an affordability agreement with the County. The remaining 85% with the exception of the manager’s unit will be affordable to moderate, low, and very low income levels, to be determined by funding sources. Also proposed is a landscaped parklet of approximately 15,000 square feet on land owned by County Parks Department, but maintained by the applicant. The parklet property is located at the southwest corner of the project and will contain passive recreation amenities such as benches, water fountains, historical and educational markers.
