Document Description
The project evaluated in the EIR comprises the Downtown Housing & Economic Opportunity Overlay and the construction of a 6 story Hotel over a below-grade parking garage, comprising 93 hotel rooms, an event space, and food service uses. Following certification of the EIR and adoption of the Overlay, the EKN Hotel Project was revised to reflect Alternative 3 in the EIR. The EKN Hotel as now proposed is 4 stories and contains 56 rooms, two restaurants, and two bar or lounge areas. Improvements within the public right-of-way include removal and replacement of existing curb cuts, sidewalk paving upgrades, street trees, and bicycle racks along the project frontages. The EKN Hotel requires discretionary Historic Site Plan and Architectural Review (HSP AR) subject to consideration by the Historic Cultural and Preservation Committee.
