ANALYSIS The Plannino Commission at its September 11. 1981 meeting adopted Resolution No. 1180 granting a Conditional Use Permlt to"construct a 187 room hotel with bancuet facilities at 211-223 East nuntlngton Drive.

The modifications increase the building pad (35,466 square feee first floor) by 201 square feet, There would be some minor alterations to the building's elevations as a result of the relocation of the stairways, Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning Deparement has prepared an initial study for the proposed project. Said initial study did not disclose any substan- tial or potentially substantial adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project including land, air. water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historical or aesthetic significance. Therefore, a Negative Declara- tion has been prepared for this project, RECOMMENDATION The Planning Department recommends approval of this plan revision to Conditional Use Permit 81-10 subject cO adherence to the conditions as set forth in Planning Commission Resolution No. 1180 approving the projece, APPROVAL If the Planning commission desires to take action to approve this proj- ect, the Commission should move to approve and file the Negative Dec- laration and find that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment and direct staff to prepare the appropriate resolution incorporaeiflg the specific findings and conditions of approval, C.U.P, 81-10 (Revision) Page 2 . . .

The ~ted alterations are as follows: 1. We request that the emergency exit stairways presently within the building footprint be relocated to a position on the exterior wall, and that a.o (2) new stairways also be added to the building ex- terior for a total of four (4) provided exits. We feel that the positive results of this proposal ~d be (a) The exterior stair plac:ement adds a d:iIrension or relief to the structure, making it aesthetically rrore pleasing; (b) The additional two (2) stairs provide rrore exit opportunities to the exterior for guests and errergency personnel; (e) It provides better interior space utili- zation, i.nasnuch as thirteen (13) additional suites can be located in the old stair enclosures, providin; a rrore favorable financial base for both the City of Arcadia and Granada Royale Hanete1s. We feel that the foregoing revision would be!nefit all concerned. Thank you for your oonsideration. Sincerely, .~~ JWH: ct Arizona: Phoenb: . Scottsdale. Tempe _ Tucson.
