Z-18-00145 SITE PLAN REVIEW WITH VARIANCE(S) Zoning District: C-TS Town-Serving Commercial The application of Bradley Park Owner, LLC, Applicant, relative to property located at 280 SUNSET AVE SUITE: SITE, legal description on file, is described below. The property owner is requesting Site Plan Review with Variances, including a variance to modify an existing, nonconforming Landmarked hotel. The renovations include relocating the hotel entrance and lobby east into the space currently occupied by C'est Si Bon Gourmet Grocery, adding a swimming pool and pool deck in the north courtyard area, renovation of all rooms, improvement of the parking lot by replacing asphalt with pavers, construction of a pergola connecting the new entrance to the street, and the modification of an existing rooftop utility structure by adding roof tiles and decorative elements. The new hotel lobby will include 18 accessory bar or dining seats based on the principle of equivalency from the former C'est Si Bon Gourmet Grocery retail space. The existing restaurant, Trevini, is not being changed at this time, and the number of hotel rooms will remain at 32.
In addition to the modification of the variance for hotel use in the C-TS district, which is required by 134-387, other variances are requested, including: 1. A variance from Chapter 50, Flood Damage Prevention, requesting relief from the requirement to raise the finish floor elevation of the hotel to 7.0 NAVD. 2. A variance from Chapter 134, Article IV, Nonconformities, to allow the height of the nonconforming hotel to be increased by 4.25' to accommodate a new decorative roof element. 3. A variance from Chapter 134, Sec. 1113(11)b., that requires a minimum of 25% landscaped open space. The existing landscaped open space is 15.26% and proposed is 14.70%, for a reduction of 0.56%. 4. A variance from Chapter 134, Sec. 1113(11)c., that requires a minimum of 35% landscaped open space in the front yard. The existing front yard landscaped open space is 9.32% and proposed is 6.63%, for a reduction of 2.69%. 5. A variance from Chapter 134, Sec. 1113(5)b. that requires a minimum front yard setback for unattached accessory structures, to allow a front setback of 1.75' in lieu of the 5' minimum required for a pergola connecting the new front lobby entrance to the public sidewalk on Sunset Avenue.
[Applicant's Representative: James M. Crowley Esq] [Landmarks Preservation Commission Recommendation: Implementation of the proposed site plan review with variances will not cause negative architectural impact to the subject landmarked property. Carried 6-1. The proposed development will not preclude the building's continued designation as a historic building and the variance is the minimum necessary to preserve the historic character and design of the building. Carried 7-0.]
