however, also approved were a conceptual site plan for the entire park, typical building elevations and a specific materials and colors board. It was noted on the PUD documents that the CDDSG would apply to individual lot Final PUD applications. A site plan for this extended stay hotel was part of the conceptual master plan. The site plan presented is very consistent with the approved conceptual plan. No specific architecture for this building was presented during the previous review. Since the previous City Council review of this application, the applicant has removed all parking from the area between the building and City open space (Parcel S-3). The building meets the 50-foot minimum setback from Parcel S-3 and parking is set back a minimum of 32-feet from that parcel. Along the west property line, the CDDSG required building setback is 25-feet for building footprints greater than 30,000 sf. The applicant is proposing a setback varying between 17 and 28-feet. The Planning Commission approved the setback exception based upon the following factors: 1) the approved office building on the lot to the west is set back significantly from this property line, and 2) the 25-foot setback was designed primarily to deal with large box-like structures, whereas this building is just over the 30,000 sf trigger and the west building wall has a great deal of structural articulation. The landscape plan meets CDDSG requirements and the concepts approved during the overall Final PUD. The plan has been revised to meet Planning Commission conditions regarding landscaping; though, one minor clarification is needed and staff is recommending one additional condition. The building is proposed as a two-story brick structure with a full pitched roof at the 35- foot maximum height. Materials are consistent with the approved material and color palette and will generally match those approved for the signature building. Several changes have been made to add greater interest to the masonry detailing. The Planning Commission recommended that the amount of EIFS be increased and that it be added to all sides of the building. That recommended change has not been made. Parking lot lighting complies with the design approved on the overall PUD and CDDSG minimum lighting level requirements. Lighting has been added along the sidewalks leading to the main building entry and no wall-mounted lighting is proposed. One pole light is proposed for the 'sport court' outdoor recreation area. Staff recommends that the lighting on the 'sport court' be limited to 250-watt metal halide, cut off and downcast fixtures. If that is not acceptable to the applicant, a limitation on the hours the light could be used would also be an appropriate restriction. Ground-mounted monument signs have been eliminated from the proposal, other than small, directional signs. The location of the directional signs should be shown on the plan and subject to staff review and approval. The proposed sign facing Dillon Road would be constructed of individual reverse pan channel letters, which would be back-lit, consistent with signs previously approved for this development. Lettering detail should be added to the PUD plan sheets, including colors. During Planning Commission review, details on the signage proposal were not sufficiently clear. The Commission required that the sign package come back before the Commission for their full review and approval; however, it is not their intent that this requirement hold up the possible approval of the overall project. The City's existing zoning code does not define hotels so as to specifically include or exclude extended stay hotels. Staff recommends that no building permits be issued for individual room kitchen facilities in the Residence Inn until such time as a zoning code amendment is approved that allows such facilities as a permitted use in the CB zoning district. The Planning Commission approved this application, with twenty-one conditions. With a few minor exceptions, those conditions have been met. 14
