The applicant is requesting a precise development plant to build 2 four story hotels, totaling ~108,000 sf. The project will consist of a Holiday Inn Express (105 rooms) and a Mariott Towne Place (102 rooms). The Holiday Inn will measure 47 ft 7 inches tall and the Mariott will measure 43 feet 3 inches in height. Staff notes that the H (Airport Approach Height Combining) District limits all structure heights to 35 ft, unless exact development is specifically authorized, in writing, by the Kern County Airports Department. The applicant has provided the required authorizations. Floor plans show that each hotel will contain the following: a lobby, a pantry, a swimming pool, meeting rooms, offices, gymnasiums, elevators/stairwells, etc. It does not appear that either hotel will contain a formal restaurant. The precise development plan shows that the project will comply with all of the special development standards for commercial districts.
