The original site plan associated with the Opryland Texas project approved at the December 21, 1999 meeting established a planned commercial center with on -premise alcohol beverage consumption in conjunction with multiple restaurants, a 1600 -room hotel, and a 301,303 square foot conference center. Parking on site was provided by a 780 -space convention center garage, a 660 -space hotel garage, 330 surface spaces and 57 additional surface spaces provided at the restaurant proposed at the extreme northern edge of the site (aka "Point"). An additional 1,094 surface spaces were approved at the Employee Service Center site.

With this request, the applicant revised the room count to 1503 rooms with modifications to the total square footage of the hotel and convention center footprint.

The convention center parking garage remains a part of this plan but has been reduced in size from 780 -spaces to 613 - spaces.

Phil Parker recently applied to replace the existing projecting signage on the front of his building with a historic replica of the "Willhoite's Garage" sign for his restaurant on Main Street. Since the sign did not meet the requirements of Section 60, Sign Regulations, Mr. Parker submitted an application before the Board of Zoning Adjustment requesting a special exception to allow the historic signage to be placed on the building. The Board of Zoning Adjustment ruled that there was no hardship or special exception and the request was denied. As part of the restoration of the Palace Theatre, there are plans to replace the historic sign on the front of the Buckner building with a replica of the "Buckner Grocery Store" sign. This sign would also not meet the requirements of Section 60, Sign Regulations. Staff is proposing an amendment to the Sign Regulations which would allow the placement of a historical replica sign on a structure whenever a certificate of appropriateness has been granted by the Historic Preservation Commission. The proposal would include the following addition to Section 60, E(k): HISTORIC RELICA SIGN• A sign designed to replicate or duplicate a documented, previously existing sign. Such sign shall be located in a designated historic district and must receive a certificate of appropriateness from the Historic Landmark Commission and a permit shall be required. In the Commissioner's deliberation session, Herb Fry moved, with a second by Chris Coy, to approve the Zoning Ordinance Amendment AM01-01, Section 60, Sign Regulations, relative to Historic Signage, and the motion prevailed by the following vote: Ayes: Oliver, Fry, Coy, Martin, Busbee, Murray, and Nicholson Nays: None END OF PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES 022000 5 Next for the Commission to consider were the minutes of the Planning and Zoning Commission Workshop Meeting of January 16, 2001.
