He stated that Homewood Suites is a proposed hotel to be built on this lot in Oakridge Business Park. Planner Olt stated that we do not at this time haKe a project development plan, but we do have a sketch plan of the hotel, requesting thaf the building be setback — it will be on the corner of Oakridge Drive and a new public street is proposed to the east of the proposed hotel, therefore it would be on the corner of two streets. The Section of the Code that is cited would require that the building be placed to,the corner of the street, both Oakridge Drive and the new public street. In both casts, the building theoretically should be within 0-15 feet of the right of way of those two streets, based on the language in the Land Use Code. At least 30% of either side of the building at that corner should be within the 15 feet. They are requesting a modification to the standard to allow the building to be setback from Oakridge Drive with an intervening parking lot and drive -way between Oakridge Drive and the front fagade (front entryway) to the building. It is an "L" shaped building as proposed and the east elevation would meet the build to line standard along the proposed future street. As requested the north fagade facing Oakridge Drive would not.
