the hotel property (Lot #1, Tract 46388) the
uses allowed within the Carriage
House shall remain those established by PD-15. Any change from these
established hotel related
uses
shall require a change in the zoning designation of the Carriage House
property.
- Design approval by the planning director shall be required for all
exterior rehabilitations, alterations, and minor additions. Design approval
by the design commission shall be required for new construction of
freestanding buildings and major additions to existing buildings. The
planning director shall determine which additions are major for purposes of
design review. All design approvals shall comply with the Secretary of the
Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating

hotel and commercially-related parking shall be in place prior to the issuance
of a final certificate of
occupancy for the Ritz-Carlton Huntington Hotel and
the Carriage House (Lot #2, Tract 46388). The construction of the covered

development and
rehabilitation of the individual cottages, so that the required parking is in
place for each cottage prior to its conversion to
residential use.
-
The Planning Commission shall
review the revised parking plan at a duly noticed public hearing one after
the effective date of the ordinance amending this PD-15. The purpose of the
review is to evaluate the adequacy of the revised parking plan, with
particular emphasis on the impact of parking on surrounding residential
neighborhoods.
-
If
the commission finds, on the basis of evidence presented at the hearing, that
the parking is inadequate to meet the demand for the PD-15
site, it may
recommend amendments to the PD-15
development standards and PD plan as deemed
necessary. In addition, if hotel
occupancy has initially reached stabilization
as defined herein, the
commission shall require the imposition of one of the
following remedial measures: provision of 1) additional
on-site
parking spaces
up to a maximum of 114 spaces, of which 15% or fewer may be
tandem parking,
subject to a plan to be approved by the
commission; or 2) permanent
off-site
parking for all nonmanagerial level employees, subject to a parking management
plan to be approved by the
commission; or 3) a combination of an
off-site
parking plan and creation of additional
on-site parking of fewer than 114
parking spaces. The parking management plan must provide that the
use of the
off-site parking is mandatory for nonmanagerial hotel employees, and includes
an off-site employee check-in system and continuous shuttle service to the
hotel. As
used herein, "stabilization" means at least 74% hotel room
occupancy
for a period of twelve consecutive months. In order to verify stabilization,
the hotel owner and/or operator shall cooperate with the
city and shall supply
any data reasonably necessary to determine stabilization.
- Evidence
that may be considered by the
commission in making a finding of inadequate
parking may include without limitation the number of parking attendants
provided by the hotel; the amount of any charges, including gratuities, for
parking on-site; and the efficiency and promptness of the system for vehicle
retrieval.
- In
addition to the one-year parking plan review, and subsequent reviews if deemed
appropriate by the
Planning Commission, the
commission may also conduct such a
review, at a duly noticed public hearing as provided above, and may make the
finding and impose remedial measures as specified above, at the request of the
board of directors of the Oak Knoll improvement association, made in writing
and accompanied by evidence to support a finding of inadequate parking. Such a
request may be made at any time after hotel
occupancy has initially reached
stabilization as defined above.

site will
not increase. Plans for such
mitigation measures, including drainage facilities

Planning
Commission by the planning staff 30 to 60 days after
approval by the
City

all sides of the

decisions must be made concerning the choice, application and detailing
of material so that new construction is appropriate to
its context. The list provided below this
project
contains several materials or combinations that shall be avoided.
It is meant to be illustrative rather than inclusive. Final
approval of materials, material combinations and detailing
will be determined by the design
commission.
