Document Description
The proposed project would involve interior renovations of the Bay Club Hotel & Marina by Bay Club Hotel and Marina, LP (Applicant) in the City of San Diego, California. Work to specifically complete the proposed project would involve renovations of the hotel lobby and front desk, restaurant and bar, meeting rooms, restrooms, and management offices; existing wall finishes, lighting fixtures and outlets, flooring, and doors throughout the hotel would be removed and replaced. The proposed renovations would be installed across approximately 10,000 square feet and would be limited to the interior of the hotel. There would be no increase in the capacity of rooms, no guestroom demising walls would be altered, and there would be no expansion of any kind. Approximately two (2) guest rooms would be used as a temporary lobby and restrooms, and approximately 78 guest rooms would remain open and available to guests throughout construction. Room service and the pool bar and restaurant would also be available to guests during renovations.
Construction for the Bay Club Hotel & Marina renovation would commence in December 2024 and would take approximately four (4) months to complete. Work would be conducted during the standard construction hours of approximately 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Completion of the proposed project would require a crew of approximately 12 personnel, and there would be no staging area or special equipment necessary for construction. Due to its nature and limited scope, construction of the proposed project would generate a minor amount of vehicle trips and would require limited use of equipment. Therefore, impacts related to air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and transportation and traffic are not anticipated to occur. Furthermore, the Applicant would be responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws regarding construction demolition debris, hazards and hazardous materials, and stormwater.
