Applicant: 'We are intending to build the hotel here' — developer explains circulation, screening and limits on food service
Summary
Bowtie Partners’ representative told the commission the team intends to build a hotel and has revised the PUD to lock hotel use; the applicant said traffic and pedestrian circulation were redesigned with CDOT input and that a full‑service restaurant or bar is not planned.
Grant Dupart, representing Bowtie Partners, told the Planning & Zoning Commission the applicant intends to build a hotel at 218 East Valley Road and has added PUD language to clarify permitted uses. "We are intending to build the hotel here," Dupart said, and emphasized the application includes conditions intended to restrict future different uses without a formal annexation-agreement amendment.
Dupart described circulation changes coordinated with CDOT (added turn lanes and a three-lane approach at the property entrance), pedestrian crosswalk adjustments to better link the site to the RFTA stop, and mitigation measures including guest shuttle service, e-bikes and employee transit passes. He also stated the project is not designed to include bar service or a full-service restaurant: "It's not designed into the plan as it stands today." The applicant presented revised exterior materials and a building height near 34 feet 5 inches, and submitted a point-by-point master-plan consistency review the team said supports the application.
The applicant acknowledged some open engineering questions (turning radii, exact grade measurements) and told commissioners they would provide additional detail if requested.
