What is intended to be done on or with the property 87 room, three story hotel 8. The zoning district that pertains to the subject property L -O 9. Vicinity map Attached 10. Schematic building plans Attached 11. Surrounding property owners mailing addresses Attached 12. Characteristics of subject property which prevent compliance with the requirements of this Ordinance The proposed development, an 87 room upscale hotel, requires a highway presence and convenient access. There is commercial development located between the site and Eagle Road and 1-84, which reduce the architectural and planning options available to develop a street presence essential to this type of facility. A reduction in the proposed height of the building would not allow a highway presence to be established due to the subject property's proximity to Eagle Road and the buffering from Eagle Road by the Chevron/McDonalds to the east. The width of the site does not allow the parking configuration shown. To park the same number of vehicles while adhering to the setback requirements would necessitate a less efficient parking lot design longer in the north/south direction, would have a larger amount of paving and reduced landscaping. This would put parking stalls farther from the building entrances. The building would encroach into the 30- foot setback 10 -feet over a length of 63 -feet. This portion of the building is only one story in height. 13. Minimum requirements of this Ordinance that need to be reduced to permit proposed use The maximum allowable height and setback requirements. 14. Difficulty or hardship which would result if requirements of this Ordinance were applied to subject property. The number of rooms would be reduced from 87 to 53. As a result, the hotel would not be able to offer the same amenities and services as are expected at our existing properties by our customers. Due to a reduced number of rooms, amenities, and services our regular customers would not stay at this property. Also, reduced revenues as a result of the aforementioned would result in lower paying jobs for managers, front desk staff, housekeepers and maintenance personnel. The number of positions available would also be significantly reduced. AmeriTel Inns, Inc. would not be able to operate a profitable business from this location under these circumstances. 0 • 15. Unusual or peculiar circumstances which indicate that regulations of this Ordinance should not be strictly complied with. See items 12,13 and 14 above 16. Statement that special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure or buildings involved which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. See items 12,13 and 14 above. 17. Statement that a literal interpretation of the provisions of this Ordinance shall deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under terms of the Ordinance. St. Lukes Hospital directly across Eagle Road from the subject property has been approved with height far exceeding the ordinances' height restrictions. 18. Statement that special conditions or circumstances exist that were not a result of the applicants action. The current property owner annexed and zoned the property as L -O in lieu of commercial. L -O zoning has a 35 -foot height restriction; commercial zones have a 40 -foot height Iimitation.The majority of the proposed building falls under the 40 -foot height limitation. Staff indicated to the applicant that we would need to apply for a variance regardless of the zone. It should be pointed out that: 1. The highest occupied floor in the building is 21'-3'/2" 2. The building parapets completely screen rooftop mounted mechanical equipment 3. The center tower and end stair towers are small in relationship to the overall roof area 19. Statement that granting the variance requested shall not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this Ordinance to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. See items 17 above. 20. Relationship of the proposed variance to the Meridian Comprehensive plan. Quoting from the Meridian Comprehensive Plan: 1.2 It is the policy of the City of Meridian to set aside areas where commercial and industrial interest and activities are to dominate." "LAND USE Comprehensive Plan Map 1. Mixed -planned uses along the 1-84 corridor, which are attractive and compatible with high- volume traffic corridors." The proposed development is attractive and compatible with high volume traffic corridors. 1.10U promote the design of attractive roadway entry areas into Meridian which clearly identify the community." The proposed development will help frame the Eagle Road gateway into the city. "5. MIXED- PLANNED USE DEVELOPMENT Mixed -Use Areas Adjacent to 1-84, Overland Road and Franklin Road These areas are unique in that they are surrounded by arterials, immediately adjacent to the freeway (1-84) ......... ......Probable mixed uses for the areas could be commercial, 0 • combined medium -to -high density residential, open space uses.... ......tourist lodging, office, medical, and related land uses." 21. A fee established by the Council Attached 22. A statement of how the granting of the variance would convenience the applicant and how the applicant would profit therefrom, which statement shall also represent whether profit and convenience is the sole reason why the variance is requested. Granting of the height and setback variances would — 1. Create a highway presence 2. Allow the utilization of properly proportioned design elements to break up the building mass and create an attractive visually interesting design 3. Allow a better site design through the reduction of paved surfaces (i.e. more efficient parking design) and increased landscaping 4. Allow the construction of a more efficient, compact building which would be less expensive to build 5. Be more convenient to our customers by reducing horizontal distances not only in the building but on the site as well. Guests of AmeriTel Inns, Inc. know that we operate clean, well designed, upscale properties. Granting of the requested variances would permit us to build a well designed, efficient property that meets the AmeriTel standards of quality. It is these quality standards on which our name is based, and it is because of these standards that we would profit from development of this proposed use with the variances requested. 23. A signed affidavit stating that the property will be posted by the applicant 1 week before the public hearing. The property will be posted by the applicant 1 week prior to the public hearing on this variance request. Sincerely, Byron Snjith, AIA Coroorat Architect W.H.
