Dear Mayor Harmon & Council Members,
No building setbacks are provided to scale this proposed building down
near its neighbors particularly as regards to the Ramada Motel. The four-
story height of this building does not decrease at its edges or offer any
reduction in scale to be in context with the adjacent buildings. Moreover,
the Community Design Guidelines recommends use of muted tones for the
structure's base color. Color should not be used as an attention getting
device.
Staff describes this project type as mixed-use hotel and commercial.
However, the unit floor plans clearly show residential designs with two
bedrooms, full closets, two bathrooms, separate kitchens and dining areas.
This project is not a hotel but is designed to be a residential project for
long-term rental, such as to students or other individuals. This assumption
is reinforced by the fact that there is a very small lobby space on the
ground floor. It's merely an alcove to the elevator and stairs. Therefore,
Multi -Family Residential design and parking standards should be required
and reviewed for project consistency.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Cheryl McLean
