Zoning and Development
Sterling Point Hotel Site (across str. from Calif. Pizza Kitchen) - Laurel David
(Robin Blass said the grand opening to the renovation of the Terraces was gorgeous and outstanding.) Currently there is no brand commitment for restaurant - which will have outdoor seating and no brand commitment for hotel - which will be up to ten stories. Will consider a two-story parking deck if needed. In response to concern that it wouldn't be welcoming to pedestrians - a staircase (focal point) has been designed. SLUP goes before BOC on the 18th. Variances will go before the City of Dunwoody. Types of hotels being sought - boutique hotel, limited service, for business travelers.Meadow Lane Hotel—Den Webb
Will have 120 rooms, code says need 150 parking spots, engineers say they can fit 108. No big events will be held at hotel (is in contract with DHA) If over 90% occupied can go to valet parking.RIOD update - Bob Dallas
Current system isn't working and so new ordinance has been written and wants to get it through before City of Dunwoody. Allows 35 ft. height - what an average person would think would be 35 ft. (National Building Standard is 35 ft.). Would repeal the RIOD ordinance, but not current RIODS.
