The Commission discussed and concurred that the hotel should be moved back
from Camino Capistrano to provide more open views of the Egan House.
Commissioner Siegel made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Bonney, to
forward the project to the Planning Commission with a recommendation to revise
the hotel's architectural design to reduce impacts to the Egan House, including:
• Relocating or removing the proposed bell tower element from the hotel and
extending the rooftop deck to the southwest corner of the hotel structure to
reduce the overall building mass adjoining the Egan House.
• Establishing a defined landscape edge along the Egan House property's
northerly and easterly property lines adjoining the proposed hotel.
• Revising the proposed color palette of the hotel to incorporate colors/shades
that reduce the degree of visual contrast between the hotel and the Egan
House.
In addition, the Commission recommended that the City assume responsibility/authority
over the archiving and storage of cultural resources/artifacts recovered from the
archeological monitoring of the site during grading/excavation. The motion passed by a 3-2
vote.
