proposed height and bulk of applicant's building is not appropriate because of its proximity to Dillon Road, a landscaped arterial boulevard at a significantly lower grade, and to planned single- story buildings which will have floor area ratios significantly lower than applicant's proposed building. g. LMC Section 17.28.120.B.16 states "[a]rchitectural design of buildings shall promote harmonious transitions and scale in character in areas of different planned uses, and shall contribute to a mix of styles within the City." The applicant's proposal does not provide a harmonious transition in scale in that the three-story bulk of the building does not provide a transitional scale from the three-story hotel adjacent to the south, to the adjacent landscaped arterial boulevard nor to the planned adjacent single-story buildings. h. Applicant submitted to City Council a bulk plane analysis. The analysis assigned bulk plane slopes to applicant's building, and other existing and proposed buildings, based upon the distances from the Dillon Road right-of-way to building roof peaks. City staff stated that while the analysis may be used to compare bulks with reference to a single point of measurement, the analysis does not account for bulking related to the length of a building facade, nor does it account for other factors that contribute to building bulk. As such, the City Council finds such analysis is not relevant to its concerns and findings regarding the bulk of the north elevation of applicant's proposed building. 2. Based solely on its findings and the evidence in the record before it, the City Council concludes that the proposed Final PUD Development Plan for Quality Inn and Suites on Lot 2, Centennial Valley, Parcel H, Filing No. 2, should be and is hereby denied.
