The developer has requested to meet with each Council Member, individually, to discuss the project. Background: The site is located within the City’s Economic Opportunity Overlay District (EOOD). Access is required from Columbia Blvd. in Port Canaveral because the property has no frontage on A1A. The City Code requires that a hotel be constructed with a minimum of 150 rooms. This requirement was put in place to ensure that our hotels were of high quality and well capitalized. The Code also requires a minimum of 5 acres for a hotel project. However, in 2012, the City adopted the EOOD in order to: * Enhance the A1A corridor’s identity, * Promote a pedestrian-friendly environment, * Capitalize on our proximity to Port Canaveral, * Proactively create economically diverse development projects on underutilized land. Among other things, the EOOD eliminated the minimum 5 acre requirement and created a Planned Development (PD) Process which is defined as: A designed development where the regulations of the underlying zone in which the development is situated are waived to allow flexibility and creative initiative in site, building design and location in accordance with the approved plan and imposed general requirements. This creates a scenario where a hotel could have less than 150 rooms if approved as a Planned Development (PD) by the City Council. Here is the operative language from the EOOD: Sec. 110-627. - Project size. (1) All uses within a project shall be sized to provide sufficient building setback and to encourage a pedestrian-oriented environment. a. All uses shall have a minimum lot size consistent with the area required to meet the building setback, lot coverage and development standards of the underlying zoning district. b. There shall be no minimum lot size for hotel development within the District. However, there shall be a minimum of 150 units that must be constructed at the same time. c. Building setback, lot coverage and developments that are inconsistent with these requirements may be approved pursuant to a planned development (PD) approved by the city council on a case-by-case basis. The project is early in the submittal process and the City’s and Port’s comments to date have been limited to the attached conceptual site layout. They include: * Sewer service would be required to come from the West side of SR A1A in a new utility easement under the highway. FDOT cannot grant an easement to a private owner, so the easement would be in the name of the City. To limit our exposure to the sewer line’s maintenance/replacement/etc. we would need perpetual bonding from the hotel owner and assigns/successors until such a time that a more preferable sewer service is available. * Port comments – see attached. Staff will attend to assist with any questions that may come up during the meetings.
