City staff proposes cut to minimum hotel pool size in Article 4, Section 16 from 3,000 to 1,000 square feet
Summary
Staff recommended a text amendment to Article 4, Section 16 (lodging facilities) to reduce the required minimum hotel pool area from 3,000 square feet to 1,000 square feet and to make housekeeping edits clarifying which amenities apply to which projects.
Planning staff presented a proposed text amendment to Article 4, Section 16 of the zoning code governing lodging facilities (hotel/motel standards). The amendment would reduce the minimum pool size required for qualifying lodging projects from 3,000 square feet to 1,000 square feet and would reorder and clarify amenity requirements to specify which provisions apply to which types of lodging projects.
Staff said the change aims to align the city’s requirement with industry standards; staff observed that hotels approved since the original 2018–19 requirements were adopted have not met the 3,000‑square‑foot pool standard and developers described that threshold as unreasonable. Staff recommended approval and invited questions; commissioners expressed support in the briefing. The proposed text amendment will be considered at the public hearing during the regular meeting.
