Conceptual Approval for Development of a Contributing Structure
end
BACKGROUND:
SMP Architecture is seeking conceptual approval for the development of a 159-room hotel and attached multi-level 161 space parking garage that incorporates a contributing structure. The project includes repurposing a contributing structure to include a second-story bar and event venue with a roof terrace, a two-story addition with a porte cochere and upper-story meeting space and terrace, a seven-level parking garage with a rooftop pool deck and fitness space, and a nine-floor hotel space with a total building height of 136 feet. This proposal requires demolition of a non-contributing structure, but the applicant is not seeking demolition approval at this time.
Please find attached all relevant documentation for your review.
