Request for License to Use City Right of Way - 801 E. Gregory Street
end
BACKGROUND:
Kerioth Corporation, Inc. is requesting approval for a license to use for additional parking and improvements within the N. 13th Avenue and E. DeLeon Street rights-of-way. The additional parking is being requested in connection with a proposed 132-room hotel. Per Sec. 12-4-1(2), Parking requirements for specific land uses, hotels require 1 parking space per room. In addition to being located in the Gateway Redevelopment District and the Dense Business District, this property is also in the CRA Urban Core where certain land uses are eligible for reduced parking, and where “lodging” may apply a 35% reduction. However, the applicants do not wish to apply the reduction and are seeking the license to use to meet their full 132-parking calculation requirement. If granted, the license to use would allow the owners to designate the on-street parking for their exclusive use. Additionally, the applicants would be responsible for all right-of-way improvements, maintenance, insurance coverage, and an annual fee. The plans currently reflect the following parking calculation:
- 111 parking stalls proposed on-site
- 13 parking stalls proposed in 13th Avenue right-of-way (requiring a license to use)
- 8 parallel parking stalls proposed in 13th Avenue right-of-way (requiring a license to use)
This request has been routed through the various City departments and utility providers. Those comments are attached for your review.
