Site plan.

George.

Good evening.

Tonight we are revisiting a site plan amendment to an approved site plan 221810011.

This was for a Kaima Luxury Hotel.

The approval of that.

Mind you, the the applicant still has approvals for that site plan.

So tonight is an amendment to that site plan.

If there are any changes or anything, they still have the rights to that original site plan.

I just want to preface to that.

I know some of you members were not on board of this, so I will go slowly.

If you do have questions, please stop me at any time and ask about this.

I'll explain what they originally were approved for and what they're coming in to amend their site plan for tonight.

But briefly, what they're proposing, an amendment proposed to reconfiguration of the approved hotel as follows 83 total units, including 78 standard guest rooms, four luxury guest suites, and one three-bedroom owner suite with accessory, 3,717 square foot restaurant, 1,445 square foot event venue with additional deck, an additional kitchen area, and record accessory spaces for health fitness, spa venue deck, and general operations.

The site application is described as tax map 0010, parcel 2520, Town Ocean City Plat for the describes located on the west side of Philadelphia Avenue, bounded by the Waters Ocean City Inlet and locally known as 700 South Philadelphia Avenue, and parking for the project includes a total of 111 spaces, comprised of 43 standard on-site spaces, 16 compact spaces, accessible spaces, and 52 off-site spaces located on tax map 010, parcel 2527, lots 567 in a block 12S of the Cinepux and Beach Company platform for the scribe is located on the northwest corner of South First Street, Baltimore Avenue, locally known as the Lands of Windsor Resorts Inc.

710 South Baltimore Avenue in Tennessee.

We have that in the record.

We have the Coast Guard station right here.

This is Sunset Park.

This is the proposed site of the hotel.

This is the proposed site of off-site parking.

We'll go into more details on that.

But the primary site is going to be here where the hotel is.

Again, already approved site.

The footprint is not changing.

There is not an increase to the footprint.

They're just reconfiguring the current hotel.

So there's no change to the footprint.

All the agreements that were established, I'll go over all those agreements, are still in place.

The proper description.

This is what was approved in the previous iteration, and this is what's getting changed.

So if you see on page two of your staff report, we just went over the zoning qualification.

You'll see page two proposed project.

Again, the original site plan file 221810011 for Kymo was approved by the planning commission on August 15th, 2023 by a four-to-three vote.

And again, the staff exhibit three in your packet.

I'll go over what the approval was for the original one.

It was 71 hotel units, 62 guest rooms, four two-bedroom guest rooms, four three-bedroom guest rooms, and one three-bedroom owner suite.

Accessory uses were a 3,717 square foot restaurant, a 720 square foot banquet room, and a 1,300 square foot VIP lounge.

It had parking for 111 spaces as calculated on the approved site plan date, June 12, 2023.

Staying on topic of the original approval.

If you'll see right here in the original approval, this is the seventh floor of the hotel.

There was originally a bar and restaurant on this seventh floor.

What the uh the applicant has decided is to remove this original hotel.

You can see the bar here, or he's going to remove this restaurant.

There will no longer be a restaurant on the second floor.

So a seventh, seventh.

But I just want to show you since I have this up here.

This is now the proposed seventh floor.

They have changed, removed that restaurant and placed hotel rooms in lieu of that.

And the applicant can explain more in detail why they remove the restaurant, but primarily it was just it's a difficult to service the seventh floor restaurant and bring things up and down the elevator.

So they thought it was in their best interest just to place hotel rooms up here.

This is also has gone through the fire marshal.
