COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM | | | |
| | | | | | | | TO: Land Use and Sustainability Committee
|
| FROM: Alina T. Hudak, City Manager
|
| DATE: March 5, 2024
|
| |
| | | | | | | | | TITLE: | DISCUSS AMENDING THE HOTEL APPROVAL PROCESS |
| |
| | | | | | | | HISTORY:
|
On December 13, 2023, at the request of Commissioner Joseph Magazine, the City Commission referred the subject discussion, pursuant to item R9 G, to the Land Use and Sustainability Committee (LUSC). Commissioners Tanya K. Bhatt, Alex Fernandez and Kristen Rosen Gonzalez are co-sponsors of the item.
BACKGROUND
On December 13, 2023, as part of the discussion on item R9 G pertaining to a hotel market study, a separate proposal was referred to the LUSC to discuss the New York model for addressing limits on approvals of hotel projects. This discussion is intended to be heard in conjunction with the other referrals to the LUSC regarding hotel uses and incentives. |
|
| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS:
| Currently, any new hotel development consisting of ground up construction or additions to existing structures, requires the review and approval of the Design Review Board (DRB) or Historic Preservation Board (HPB). If there is a desire to amend the process for approving new hotel uses, including the conversion of existing residential and/or commercial uses to hotel use, a separate referral to the Planning Board, by the City Commission, to amend the LDRs would be required.
|
|
| | | | | | | | CONCLUSION:
| | The Administration recommends that the Land Use and Sustainability Committee discuss the item and provide a recommendation to the City Commission. |
