REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 9/15/2014 Item No.: 14.a Department Approval City Manager Approval Item Description: Concept Plan Review of Redevelopment Proposal by Cities Edge Architects for the Old Dominion Property B ACKGROUND 1 A number of months ago, the Community Development Department met with representatives of 2 Cities Edge Architects regarding the redevelopment plan for the Old Dominion property. It was 3 recommended that they could review the project with the City Council at a worksession since 4 there are potential modifications to the development requirements within Twin Lakes currently 5 in process. 6 The Community Development Department has also been working with the development group 7 (JAVA Development) planning to redevelop the Xtra Lease property and last month held a 8 conference call with both development groups to discuss a joint or unified development plan. At 9 that time, it appeared that both projects could proceed forward on a similar timeline. However it 10 now appears that the JAVA development will not be able to keep up with the Cities Edge 11 timeline and will be brought to the Council separately. It also appears that some of the joint 12 integration that could have occurred, such as stom water management, will be designed 13 separately. 14 The proposed Cities Edge project will will consist of a five (5) story Home2 Suites with 102 15 guest rooms. The design closely follows the most current prototype design with very minor 16 modifications for site adaptation and city zoning requirements. The overall site is an L shaped 17 parcel 3.723 acres in size. As part of this project the site will be master planned and engineered 18 to accommodate the Home2 Suites which will be constructed in 2015 and a Hampton Inn which 19 will also be constructed in 2015. A storm water management plan will be developed to 20 accommodate the entire site. Based on current conceptual design it is anticipated that a portion of 21 the required storm water retention will utilize a surface retention pond and the balance will need 22 to be managed with underground retention. An overall landscape plan will be developed as well. 23 Based on the conceptual site plan, the Home2 Suites would be located in the southeast corner of 24 the parcel adjacent to Mount Ridge Road, while the Hampton would be located in the northwest 25 corner of the parcel adjacent to Iona Lane and Cleveland Avenue. Vehicle access is proposed 26 from Iona Lane (adjacent park-and-ride) and Cleveland Avenue (southern border), and the 27 project is continuing its efforts to share with JAVA at the south. Both of these building locations 28 are in compliance with the Regulating Plan, as is the internal shared parking design. 29 Page 1 of 2
