Application: DA modification
Highlights of Proposed Development: Modification to the recorded DA for the Fallon Greens
Subdivision.
In 1999, the Council approved General Retail & Service Commercial (C-G) zoning for the
Fallon Greens Subdivision but restricted the use to one 60,000 sq. ft. medical office building. In
2002, following the annexation of the subject property to C-G, the Council approved a Planned
Development on this site that established three buildable lots on 4.34 acres within the C-G
District. Lot 1, Block 1, was approved for a 3-story, 92-room hotel- the Hampton Inn. The other
two lots (Lots 2 & 3, Block 1) were to house 2 office buildings; one 17,836 square-foot, 2-story
office building, and one 7,500 square-foot, single-story office building. Also at that time, City
Council approved a modification to the existing DA reflect such changes. This was the first
addendum to the development agreement.
A revision to the First Addendum to the Development Agreement for Fallon Greens was
approved by the City Council in 2003. This revision allowed the hotel and office uses under the
C-G zoning; however, with some minor changes. This revision/addendum for the Fallon Greens
Subdivision (Instrument #103137120) restricted the use of the property to one 3-story, SO-room
hotel, and one (1) or two (2) office buildings totaling 35,000 sq. ft. The subject application, the
Second Addendum, requests that all principally permitted C-G uses be allowed within the Fallon
Greens Subdivision.
The Applicant proposes amending Section 4.1 "Uses Permitted by This Agreement" of the
recorded Development Agreement, so as to immediately begin construction of an addition to the
existing hotel. Per the existing development agreement, the hotel is currently only allowed 80
rooms: This is what ultimately necessitates the subject DA modification.
The office use restrictions were included in the original Development Agreement, despite being
granted C-G zoning. The property owner did not anticipate wanting commercial uses other than
for what was approved, and, therefore, did not oppose the DA restrictions.
As the site is currently zoned C-G, Staff believes that the Applicant's request for removing the
hotel and office restrictions for the site and allowing all C-G principally permitted uses is
consistent with the existing zoning. The Future Land Use Map designates this site
"Commercial." The proposed modification is consistent with the surrounding area, which
includes other hotels, restaurants and offices, and generally meets the goals and policies of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Elevations: Yes
NOTE: The Applicant has not submitted a conceptual site plan showing how future office and /
or retail buildings may be constructed on this site, or elevations for the future buildings for the
Council's consideration. However, Staff does have elevations for the proposed hotel addition.
Staff has evaluated said elevations and believes that the addition meets the City's design
requirements for structures located on entryway corridors.
