The applicant was requesting a conditional use permit to establish a 300 room hotel with the possession, storage, retail sales, and on-premise consumption of alcoholic beverages (beer, wine and mixed beverages) in conjunction with a restaurant, coutdoor patio seating, outdoor speakers, and an increase in height. The applicant was also 092016 2 PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 20, 2016 requesting a planned development overlay to deviate from but not be limited to reduction in the amount of parking provided below what is required by ordinance. With this request the applicant intended to develop a nine story, 300 room Renaissance Hotel on the subject tract that is part of the planned commercial center established with the TownePlace Suites/Marriott Courtyard/Hilton Garden Inn hotel complex located immediately adjacent to the south. All guestrooms meet or exceed the minimum 380 s.f. room size requirement. The applicant is also providing 19,687 s.f. of conference space and a restaurant in excess of 4,000 s.f. with seating for 150 patrons. A 2,934 s.f. swimming pool was also proposed therefore meeting all ordinance requirements for new hotel development within the city. As part of the conditional use process the applicant proposed to establish an outdoor patio area with outdoor speakers that will be on a lower level from the main lobby looking towards the lake to the northeast. Also though the conditional use process the applicant is seeking to exceed the height maximum of 50 feet for the district to allow for the nine story (114 feet) to be developed on the site. Relative to the planned development overlay request, the applicant proposed a reduction in the amount of parking provided from a required 500 spaces to 280 spaces. A parking study recommended a reduction in the parking provided given the high number of guests that will arrive at the hotel through shuttle service from the D/FW Airport or in situations where demand exceeds the available spaces, guests would be shuttled from other auxiliary parking areas. After further consideration of the overall parking scenario relative to both hotels, the applicant proposed increasing the number of spaces provided from 0.8 spaces per room to 1 .0 spaces per room or 450 spaces relative to the conjoined TownePlace Suites/Marriott Courtyard/Hilton Garden Inn Hotel. The additional spaces as well as those associated with the adjacent hotel will be contained within a parking structure that will be constructed within the basic confines of the main parking area for the Renaissance Hotel.
