Document Description
The project was originally approved in 2005 as part of the Northstar Highlands entitlement (PSUB20040898). The 2005 entitlement included a Master Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for program-level features and a CUP for project-level approval of Phase 1, which included development of the 3.4-acre project parcel with 41 individual condominium units for either fractional or whole ownership. The project would modify the project-level CUP to develop the project parcel with 38 condominium units with a 184-parking space, 2-story subterranean parking garage (to replace the surface parking lots on the site) and a new tunnel and elevated walkway between the development and the adjacent Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The project requires a rezoning from Residential Multi-Family (RM) with a Planned Development (-PD) overlay to Resort (RES) with a -PD overlay and associated Martis Valley Community Plan (MVCP) amendment from Medium Density Residential (MDR) to Tourist/Resort Commercial (TC) to allow operation as a "condo-hotel," since hotels are not an allowed use in the RM zoning district.
