PUBLIC HEARINGS
Hearing, Case 2023-14:
Request to amend the Planned Unit Development at Adelaide Point (1148 and 1204 W Western
Ave), by Adelaide Point QOZB.
SUMMARY
  1. The applicant is seeking approval for the following amendments to the PUD:
         • Removal of one of the condominium/retail buildings. This will eliminate 55
            residential units from the plan.
         • Changing the other condominium/retail buildings to a hotel. This will eliminate
            another 55 residential units from the plan, but will add 125 hotel rooms.
         • Repositioning of a condominium building (noted as R1 on new plans).
         • Slight modification of Adelaide Circle.
  2. Please see the attached copies of the “Proposed AP Site Plan” and the “Current AP Site
     Plan (approved February 2023).”
   3. The original PUD was approved in September 2021. It was amended in June 2022 and
      again in February 2023.
   4. Incidental or minor changes may be approved by the Planning Commission if the
      proposed modifications do not alter the basic design or land uses of the plan. If the
      Planning Commission determines that the proposed modifications are significant or
      major, a public notice and public hearing in accordance with Section 2332 must be
      conducted prior to approval or denial.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the amendments. Staff considers these changes minor as they are
creating less density and the changes to the street do not alter the basic design of the plan. In
addition, all publicly accessible places and amenities will remain unchanged.
MOTION #1
J. Seyferth moved, seconded by D. Keener, that the request to amend the Planned Unit
Development at Adelaide Point (1148 and 1204 W Western Ave) is a minor change under the criteria
that it is reducing the density of the project that was previously approved.
