The subject property is located within the Al A Economic Opportunity Overlay District and is subject to the provisions, of Chapter 110, Article X of the Cape Canaveral Code. I have reviewed the site plan and color rendered elevations for consistency with Chapter 110, Article X of the Cape Canaveral Code. Please note, only the mandatory requirements of the code section were reviewed in order to make a consistency determination. Optional components were considered, but their omission in the site plan were not used as a basis for consistency determination. Based on my technical expertise and qualifications as a Certified Planner, my 26 years of professional planning experience, and my familiarity with Chapter 110, Article X as the author of that portion of the Code, it is my qualified professional opinion that the proposed development is CONSISTENT with the intent of the AlA Economic Opportunity Overtay District pursuant to Chapter 110, Article X of the Cape Canaveral Code. Therefore I recommend that the Community Appearance Board APPROVE the proposed Sunbelt Cape Canaveral Hotel. If you have any questions, please let me know. Sincerely, -;0-/ Andre A.
