lntended Outcome Su
Item Summary/Recommendation :
Centurian Collins Property Owner, LLC (the Applicant) is the owner of the Aloft Hotel, located at 2360
Collins Avenue, and is requesting a revocable permit for the construction and maintenance of a triangular-
shaped concrete canopy with two support columns and eyebrows over the drop-off area at the west side of
the hotel, over a portion of the street-end of Libefi Avenue; and an irrigation meter and vent pipe for a
drainage well located at ground level north of the canopy in the street-end of Liberty Avenue.
The hotel has a small drop-off area adjacent to Collins Avenue, but due to the very small frontage in that
area (as lt is wedged between Lake Pancoast and the private property to the south) there is insufficient
room for a proper vehicular drop-off for patrons and guests of the hotel. The Applicant is proposing a drop-
otf at the Liberty Avenue street-end on the west side of the property. The canopy projects at the 2nd floor
level,whichisatoraboveelevenfeetoneinch(11'1")fromthegroundlevel,inatriangularshape. ln
addition, there are two (2) eyebrows at the second and third levels (roughly parallel to the property line) at
or above eleven feet one inch (1 1' 1") above ground level, that extend from the south edge of the triangular
canopy, to close to the south property line. An irrigation meter and vent pipe for a drainage well (where the
drainage well is located on the Applicant's private property) are located at ground level north of the canopy;
the total square footage of all proposed encroachments is 910 square feet.
The Administration's analysis shows that the criteria established under Section 82-94 of the City Code is
satisfied. However, there are some concerns regarding access to perform future seawall repairs. As a
result the Administration is not supportive at this time. This application is supported by the fact that the
canopy and eyebrows are part of the design that was approved by the HPB. The HPB considered the
canopy and eyebrows to be part of the best design solution for this project. The HPB order also stated that
the vent pipe should be located outside of the right of way, as a result the vent pipe as constructed is
contrary to the order.
THE ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDS ADOPTING THE RESOLUTION TO SET THE PUBLIC
HEARING, BUT IS NOT SUPPORTIVE OF THE REVOCABLE PERMIT UNTIL THE OUTSTANDING
ISSUES ARE RESOLVED.

meter and vent pipe for a drainage well located at ground level north of the canopy in the street-end
of Liberty Avenue.
The hotel has a small drop-off area adjacent to Collins Avenue, but due to the very smallfrontage in
that area (as it is wedged between Lake Pancoast and the private property to the south) there is
insufficient room for a proper vehicular drop-off for patrons and guests of the hotel. The Applicant is
proposing a drop-off at the LibertyAvenue street-end on the west side of the property. The canopy

The Administration's analysis shows that the criteria established under Section 82-94 of the City
Code is satisfied. However, there are some concerns regarding access to perform future seawall
repairs. As a result, the Administration is not supportive at this time. This application is supported
by the fact that the canopy and eyebrows are part of the design that was approved by the HPB. The
HPB considered the canopy and eyebrows to be part of the best design solution forthis project. The
HPB order also stated that the vent pipe should be located outside of the right of way, as a result the
vent pipe as constructed is contrary to the order.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends adopting the resolution to set the Public Hearing, but is not
supportive of the revocable permit until the outstanding issues are resolved.
