Sunbelt Cape Canaveral Hotel:
The Development Review Committee discussed the preliminary review and comments provided
for the Sunbelt Cape Canaveral Hotel. Mark Robbins provided an overview of the proposed
project. Mr. Robbins stated that they have had discussions regarding integrating the overlay
district into this project. The proposed, 153 room, 6 story, hotel will be an L-shaped building
with a courtyard, an oversized swimming pool, and a sports court or tiki bar area.
Discussion included: property location and site acreage; utilities; parking; drainage;
development impacts; and the aesthetics of the building.
Todd Morley, Community & Economic Development Director, stated that this is the first project
in the overlay district. Mr. Morley explained that a site development permit will be issued for the
horizontal construction with a fee of 1% of the site development project construction costs. Mr.
Morley further explained the requirements for the building permit and stated that the permit for
the swimming pool could be issued separately, as is the fire alarm permit, and the fire sprinkler
permit.
Dave Sargeant, Fire Chief, expressed his concerns regarding the water pressure and flow might
not be enough. Discussion followed regarding other options to obtain enough water for the
project and the fire sprinkler system.
Jeff Ratliff, Public Works Director, expressed concerns that lift station 7 is too small to handle
the project and stated that it needs to be upgraded and possibly moved to Manatee Park.
