Body
FUNDING SOURCE:
N/A
PURPOSE:
To adopt an ordinance amending Planned Development No. 00-007 to allow 12 accessory courtesy docks and overnight mooring.
BACKGROUND:
The subject property was approved as a Planned Development in 2000 (No. 00-007). The development was amended in 2003 by Conditional Use Permit and again in 2006 by Ordinance No. 06-851. The property is fully developed as a mixed use development. The development includes: five residential condominiums, twenty-one hotel rooms, four commercial units, a restaurant, and a vacant commercial building under the arch of the London Bridge.
The amendment in 2003 consisted of a conditional use permit to allow the docking/mooring of boats. The approval was limited to four boat spaces, based on the proposed location along the seawall and four recessed staircases into the existing seawall. The request was approved; however, never constructed. An approved site plan, including the mooring and seawall modifications is provided as an attachment.
The proposed docks are a significant departure from the original approval. A site plan of the proposed construction is provided as an attachment. The docks will also provide overnight mooring. Two of the docks will be ADA accessible. No commercial use of the docks has been requested at this time. The applicant’s letter of intent is provided as an attachment.
The Planning Commission recommended approval with a vote of 6-1. Condition number six, limiting the distance of the dock projection, was added by the commission, as a result of concerns expressed regarding possible impact on travel lanes within the channel.
