Please,
thank
you.
As
stated,
the
applicant
has
applied
for
a
use,
permit
Amendment
and
parking
exception
to
ace,
establish
a
specialty
restaurant
and
to
add
three
additional
hotel
rooms
at
the
site.
The
hotel
is
located
in
the
600
block
of
El
Camino
Real
side
of
the
street.
It's
important
to
go
in
a
little
background
information
here.
The
original
project
was
approved
by
the
Planning
Commission
in
1998,
and
at
that
time
the
approval
was
for
a
36
room,
hotel,
one
manager's
unit
and
36
parking
spaces
over
the
following
years.
B
There
was
a
number
of
revisions
that
were
approved
by
the
Architectural
Review
Committee
and
the
Planning
Commission.
The
very
first
one
was
architectural
changes
to
the
northwest
corner
of
the
building.
The
second
revision
was
for
new
exterior
colors,
and
the
third
revision
was
for
a
ramp
at
the
rear
of
the
hotel
in
2008.
B
It
was
discovered
that
the
original
scope
of
work
was
exceeded
by
expanding
the
ground
level
of
the
hotel,
and
specifically
the
breakfast
room
was
expanded,
as
well
as
a
645
square
foot,
commercial
space
was
added
and
three
additional
hotel
rooms
were
also
added
and
the
way
the
three
additional
hotel
rooms
were
at.
It
was
on
site
right
now,
there's
three
suites
and
those
three
suites,
those
three
individuals
which
share
an
internal
common
door
and
when
that
internal
common
door
is
closed
and
locked,
three
additional
rooms
are
created.
B
So
to
recap,
today
we
have
a
40
room
hotel
with
32
parking
spaces
in
1,
645
square
foot,
vacant
commercial
space,
whereas
what
was
originally
improved
was
a
36
room
hotel
with
a
manager's
unit
and
36
parking
spaces.
It
is
important
to
note
that
the
hotel
has
been
operating
with
a
temporary
certificate
of
occupancy,
with
the
ability
to
rent
out
32
hotel
rooms.
B
Right
now,
the
applicant
has
prepared
a
parking
analysis
which
is
included
as
Exhibit
D
within
your
staff
report,
and
essentially
the
applicant
is
proposing
to
establish
on-site
valet
parking
by
incorporating
on-site
valet
parking.
An
additional
15
parking
spaces
will
be
provided
on
the
below
ground
level.
Parking
area
and
those
15
parking
spaces
would
result
in
47
total
parking
spaces
on
site,
15
of
which
would
be
valet
parking
and
then
the
remaining
32
would-be
self
parking
one.
When
applying
the
municipal
code
requirements,
a
total
of
forty-six
parking
spaces
are
now
required.
B
In
a
given
night
staff
all
supports
the
on-site
valet
parking
proposal
and
finds
that
it
will
ensure
that
the
surrounding
residential
neighborhood
would
not
be
negatively
impacted
by
the
added
commercial
space
and
the
additional
three
hotel
rooms
staff
did
send
out
a
courtesy
notice
and
a
required
legal
notice
and
received
two
phone
calls
from
concerned.
Neighbors
both
neighbors
expressed
concern
over
employee
street
parking
and
staff
has
added
a
condition
of
approval
requiring
that
employees
do
not
utilize
street
parking
in
the
surrounding
neighborhood.
B
Overall
staff
does
support
the
project
and
finds
that
the
incorporation
of
on-site
valet
parking
meets.
The
project
will
meet
the
municipal
code
requirement.
Staff
also
finds
that
by
incorporating
the
specialty
restaurant,
the
hotel
will
create
the
mixed
Houston
vironment,
which
is
supported
by
the
general
plan.
Staff,
recommends
that
the
Planning
Commission
approve
use,
permit
09,
dash
0,
19
and
parking
exception.
Oh
8008,
based
on
findings
of
fact,
1
through
5
and
conditions
of
approval
1
through
13
I'm
available
for
any
questions.
Thank.

A
D
My
name
is
james
burke
house,
I'm
the
president
venture
hospitality.
We
were
retained
by
the
Montes
family,
tier
design,
open
Hotel,
&,
operated
and
I
can
say
that
what
we
have
today
is
much
superior
to
what
we
would
have
had
three
years
ago
into
the
design
that
was
going
to
be
attempted.
At
that
time.
D
The
property
was
designed
for
the
discriminating
business
traveller
and
the
upscale
leisure
traveler.
We
don't
take
Rupert
or
so
our
clientele
is
upscale,
think
it's
a
very
unique
property.
We
went
to
great
lengths
to
give
it
a
soul
with
lighting
and
fabrics
and
things
that
you
don't
normally
see
in
it
in
a
supermarket
like
this
most
of
our
guests
fly
in.
So
we
really
don't
need
a
lot
of
parking.
It's
rare
that
we
have
our
garage,
half
full.
D
They
fly
in,
they
take
bart
into
san
francisco.
They
they
share
cars
or
people
pick
them
up
from
their
businesses
around
the
area.
So
there's
not
a
great
demand
of
parking
at
our
hotel,
our
employees
of
never
parked
on
the
street,
and
we
have
we
have
alternatives
for
them.
If
we
need
more
parking
in
that
area,
I
think
it's
a
fine
hotel,
I
think
any
community
would
love
to
have
it
in
their
in
their
market
and
I.
D
A
D
E
D
D
Most
of
the
guests
are
gone
all
day
in
the
downtown
San
Francisco
vitality.
You
have
a
lot
of
traffic
in
your
lobby
here,
most
of
our
guests
are
gone
all
day
and
appointments
etc.
So
during
the
day
when
our
staff
is
working,
there's
a
very
few
cars
in
our
in
our
property.
It's
that
night,
when
they,
when
they
come
back
from
dinner
that
but
they
have
cars
there
park
on
our
line.
So.
D
D
On
doing
that,
well,
our
vision
of
special
restaurant
would
be
an
upscale
coffee
venue
where
our
guests
can
lounge
and
have
coffee
and
wine
and
beer
have
a
salad
or
a
sandwich
or
a
bowl
of
soup.
No
deep
fryers,
it's
not
it's
not
a
full-blown
kitchen,
most
everything
that
would
be
prepared.
There
would
be
pre
cooked
and
we
would
heat
it
in
a
convection
oven
to
service.
It
was
not
a
restaurant.
The.
C
B
A
A
I'd,
like
just
a
comment
that
I
had
the
opportunity
to
tour
the
property,
Foley
and
and
I
do
try
by
there
on
a
regular
basis,
and
today,
anyway,
there
was
one
car
in
that
stall
and
I.
You
have
a
chance
at
or
every
floor,
including
the
rooms
and
pleased
to
report,
at
least
for
today
that
there
wasn't
a
parking
issue
and
I
hope
that
that
continues
to
be
the
case
and
I.
It
appears
to
be
that
the
way
mr.
bunker
house
of
mr.
A
Berger
I
see
your
new
coracle
year,
Burke
house
that
how
he
described
it
is
actually
what
I
saw
there
today
and
I
saw
the
the
word.
The
specialty
restaurant
is
going
to
be
placed
and
there's
also
opportunity
for
a
large
sort
of
a
conference
area,
the
back
as
well
so
it
is,
it
is
a
it
is
a
lovely
hotel
and
I'm
really
proud
to
think
about
this
as
a
whether
it's
approved
or
not.
It
is
a
lovely
hotel
to
go
inside
and-
and
it
is
a
great
addition
to
our
to
our
city,
there's.
C
C
E
C
A
E
The
reason
I
bring
it
up
not
only
is
because
green
important
to
me,
but
also
there's
conditions,
there's
a
considerations
with
people
complaining
about
trash
and
stuff.
So
it's
got
me
thinking
about
taking
a
look
at
what
we're
doing
as
far
as
making
this
new
restaurant
green.
So
maybe
if
we
can
make
that
a
condition
that
as
they
come
forward
with
their
proposal
for
the
restaurant,
we
require
that
green
checklist
to
be
included.
Okay,
we
can
definitely
think.
