Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Continuance of Planning file AP-17-0006 including request to waive or otherwise not Impose the appeal fee to the City Commission Meeting of March 21, 2018.
BACKGROUND:
The Planning Commission reviewed a request for a General Development Plan and Detailed Development Plan in two phases located close to the intersection of 17th Street and Washington Street directly across from the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center. Phase 1 which is the subject of the Detailed Development Plan consists of a 5-story hotel with approximately 99 rooms with associated parking lot, site improvements and street frontage improvements. Phase 2 consists of 131 apartment units, 9,500 square-feet of retail space, a 2,500 coffee shop and associated parking and site improvements. The project proposal included preservation and retention of the Hackett House, a designated historic landmark which is currently used for offices. The application requested six adjustments to the development code pursuant to OCMC 17.65.070.
After considering the testimony and information in the record, on November 13, 2017 the Planning Commission approved the application with amended Conditions of Approval by a vote of 5-0.
This appeal was submitted as well as a separate request for an appeal fee waiver from the City Commission. On February 7, 2018, the City Commission closed the record and made a tentative decision to deny the appeal and the request to waive or otherwise not impose the appeal fee. Staff was directed to return on March 7, 2018 with final findings, but is hereby requesting a continuance to March 21, 2018 to allow additional time.
