Additional Backup Information:
On July 25, 2023, the Planning Commission unanimously approved the request of a three-year extension to a previously approved site plan, from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2025, based on the criteria from LDC Section 25-5-62(C). The proposed development includes an existing restaurant/event center and historic structure, along with the construction of two hotel buildings consisting of approximately 100 hotel rooms, a support building, and associated parking and improvements on a 5.67-acre tract in the Bouldin Creek neighborhood. The existing historic structure will be relocated onsite.
Per LDC Section 25-5-63(C) - Extension of Released Site Plan by the Land Use Commission - “the Land Use Commission may extend the expiration date of a released site plan beyond the date established by this chapter if the Land Use Commission determines that the request complies with the requirements for extension by the director under 25-5-62 (Extension of Released Site Plan by Director).”
Per 25-5-62 - Extension of Released Site Plan by Director - The director may extend the expiration date of a released administrative site plan one time for a period of one year if the director determines that there is good cause for the requested extension; and
(1) the director determines that:
(a) the site plan substantially complies with the requirements that apply to a new application for site plan approval;
(b) the applicant filed the original application for site plan approval with the good faith expectation that the site plan would be constructed;
(c) the applicant constructed at least one structure shown on the original site plan that is suitable for permanent occupancy; or
(d) the applicant has constructed a significant portion of the infrastructure required for development of the original site plan; and
(2) the director determines that:
(a) if a traffic impact analysis was submitted with the application for site plan approval:
(i) the assumptions and conclusions of the traffic impact analysis are valid; or
(ii) if the assumptions and conclusions are not valid, the applicant has submitted an addendum to the traffic impact analysis that demonstrates that traffic impacts will be adequately mitigated; or
(b) if a traffic impact analysis was not submitted with the application for site plan approval, the applicant demonstrates that traffic impacts will be adequately mitigated.
