s:\plan\pb-items~memos\pb-items\ddembassyext AGENDA ITEM # 5A PAGE 1
In 1998, the apphcant, St. Juhen Pai~tners Gunbarrel LLC apphed for a use rev~ew far a 150-room hotel of
approximately 100,000 square feet On March 12, 1999, the Pianning Department approved a use review
for the "Inn at Gunbarrel" use review (attachment B). The call up period expired on March 26, 1999, at
which time the use review approval was considered final. The approved site plan mcluded a 99,500
square foot hotel (40' tall) with an accessory 120 seat restaurant and 30 seat lounge.
Since the imtial use review was approved, the apphcant has requested and received two staff level six-
month extensions, which extended the expirahon date of the approval until March 26, 2003
CHANGE OF HOTEL FRANCHISE.
The applicant's irutial concept was for a Hilton Garden Inn, and plans were worked on accordingly from
shortiy after approval until the year 2000. Then, the H~lton requested a change to an Embassy Surtes
Plans were changed, and a mmor modification was appl~ed for with the city and approved m August 2000
to allow a small change in the placement and layout of the hotel, to accommodate the change in franchise
(attachment C, paragraph 1, St. Julien letter dated April 15, 2003).
UTILITIES.
The IBM Agreement provided that "Prior to obtairung either water or sanitary sewer service from a
municipality, district, or other person other than the City, IBM shall consult with the City and, if the City
can . provide substantrally the same service, within the same period of time at the same or lesser costs as
such other person, IBM shall accept such service from the City." Lefthand Water and Niwot Samtarion
("Lefthand") has utility services near to this site. As a property located withm the city, the applicant could
have connected to city ut~lities without any special requirements However, the applicant chose to take the
time ta pursue this other ophon because of cost considerahons Throughout 2000 and 2001 the applicant
worked with I.efthand to design the utilities The apphcant applied to the city in March 2001 to be
allowed to use alternate utilities because of cost savmgs. Staff approved the plan m late March 2001, as
the city could not meet the quoted costs from Lefthand (attachment D, letter from Robert E. Williams).
After engineermg design work was completed, L.efthand mformed the applicant that capacity was
msufficient, and connechons to utilities much further away were necessary, which were also much more
expensive (attachment E, enhtled "FAX-MEMO" from Lefthand), This caused the applicant to then
redesign a connection plan for city ut~lity services.
The applicant applied for their final engmeering and arch~tecmral review wrth the city m June, 2002, after
this change to city services. Staff has reviewed the mihal subrmttal of the stormwater, landscapmg, uhlity
and archttecture plan, along with revisions that were submitted in December 2002. Cunently, staff is
awaiting an applicant response to the latest review comments. The applicant has stated that these will be
filed m May, if this extension is granted
CDOT ACCESS PERMIT:
The applicant applied for their Colorado Department of Transportation ("CDOT") access permit in
October, 2001. Ciry staff acts as liaison with CDOT m obtaimng these permits. Staff submitted the
access permit to CDOT m October, 200L However, final approval from CDOT was not obtained until
June 2002.
ANALYSI5:
To approve an extension of time for a use review approval, the Plamm~g Board must find that the request
complies with the requirements of 9-4-8(b)(2) (attachment F mcludes the full text) the full text). The
followmg are the two key issues related to those criteria•
s:\plan\pb-items~nemos\pb-items\ddembassyext AGENDA ITEM # 5A PAGE 2
1. Has the applicant demonstrated reasonable diligence in complying with the
time limits of the approval?
The applicant has outlined the work that has been done over the past four years (attachment C, letters from
the applicant) Staff believes that the applicant has been diligently workmg toward obtaining building
permits and building the hotel
Because of the locahon of the srte, it has been a challenge to meet the time limits of the use review.
Construction of a large hotel at this site has mvolved issues not noimally mclude with other
developments, such as alternate utility providers and CDOT access permits.
The followmg timelme shows reasonable diligence:
1999-2000- design of hotel and redesign based upon change m franchise
2000-2001- utility design for Lefthand and redesign to city provider
2001-2002- design, apphcation and approval for CDOT access permit
2002-2003- fmal engmeermg, landscape, site, architectural plans designed and submitted to city
Additionally, near the end of 2002, the City and County Planning staff contacted the applicant about
relocatmg their hotel to be able to locate a transit center on this srte. While this relocation was not able to
be accomplished, the discussion delayed work on the revisions to the final document application. The
applicant has agreed to work with CDOT, the city and county governments on this issue cooperatively m
the future.
2. Has the applicant demonstrated good cause, which justi~es a two-year extension?
The appLcant must show good cause for the extension, includmg the ability to complete the project withm
the timeframe requested. They have outhned the rimeframe for approval and construction (attachment C,
St Julien letter dated Apnl 15, 2003). The two year extension appears reasonable when considering the
scope of this pro~ect. Six months for buildmg permit approvals, 12-14 months for construction plus some
allowance for wmter delays appears a reasonable schedule.
STAFF rINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION:
Staff believes that the applicant has shown reasonable dingence and good cause for the extension. The
approved use review is consistent with current city policy, and extending the time for completing
construction of the hotel to March 26, 2005 will not conflict with current city development policies. The
applicant has expended significant resources to secure a tenant, and to produce construcrion drawmgs
towards compleuon of approval
The site's zonmg has not changed smce the original approval, and no development standards have
changed smce the approval which would prevent the hotel from being built as proposed if the applicant
had to reapply for review. In fact, a land use designahon change was approved m 2002 as part of the 2000
Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan update to change the designation to Transitional Busmess, a land use
designahon which allows hotels It is anhcipated that the zorung would eventually change as well to
accommodate this hotel. If the extension of time was to be derued, the applicant could s~mply apply for
another use review because of the clause in the 1997 IDM PUD, and the same hotel could be approved
agam
s:\plan\pb-items\memos\pb-items\ddembassyext AG~NDA IT~M # 5A PAGE 3
Planning staff finds that the request for a two-year time extension is appropriaYe for this site,
finding that.
1. This request was approved in March 1999 and that the request is consistent with current
development requirements.
2. The applicant demonstrated reasonable diligence in pursuing the construction of the hotel.
3. The applicant demonstrated that good cause exists for the extension.
Therefore, staff recommends that Planning Board approve a two-year time extension for
completion of Use Review UR98-5 to March 26, 2005 incorporatmg this staff inemorandum as
findings of fact, and usmg the followmg rewmmended condrtions of approval
RECOMMENDED CONDITION OF APPROVAL:
The expiration date for UR98-5, the "Inn at Gunbarrel" shall be March 26, 2005.

Dear Mr Durso
Per Clause 9-4-8 (Boulder Rev~sed Code, 1981 Trtle 9- Land Use Regulahon, as revtsed), we request two
six-month extensions for the Inn at Gunbarrel pro~ect.
Although we contmue to work diligently on the development of this pro~ect, we have encountered some
unexpected delays. (~) As you are aware, a mmor modificat~on was approved on th~s pro~ect m 2000 to
enable a slightly higher-end, more upscale hospitality pro~ect and, to some extent, th~s delayed our design
schedule (u) In addihon, gammg CDOT approval for site access on Highway 52 is taking much longer than
anyone could predict for reasons that remain uncleaz although such approval is expected shortly (m) Also,
m exammmg our opt~on to connect utdit~es to Left Hand Water and Niwot Samtation, now wrth more
complete plans and requirements, rt may appear that pursumg connectwns to Boulder could be more
effic~ent requ~res fur[her rev~ew by our crvd engineer.
The construction drawings are roughly 90% completa at this t~me and, if you w~sh, we can present them for
your review to show substantial progress on the pro~ect.
Thank you for your assistance m this matter The mtent of IBM Corp was to have a hotel on th~s site when
~t imtiated the open space land deals with the City a few years ago and we continue to work toward fulfilling
this intent Please feel free to call w~th any questions (Direct 720-406-9656)

Deaz Mr, Durso:
Further to our 17 March 2003 request for an extension from Planning Board for the a6ov~refecenced pro~ect,
addit~onal mformapon is providcd below to further esplain some of our nme-consuming efforts:
(1) The Appl~cant's init~al concept was for a Hilton Garden inn and designed the plans accordmgly. Someqme
m the wmter of 1999/2000, the Hdton orgunization purchased the Prvmus Corp (which owned the
Bmbassy Sulles brand) and Hilton came 6ack to us with a proposal to up~'nde our concept from a Garden
Tnn to an Embassy Suites. The pro~am was re-warked, architects switched to one more familiar w~th the
Embassy Suites brand and St 7ulien was officially licensed by Hilton as an Embassy Smles fianchisee in
November 200p. St Julien believes it ~s now bwlding a better, more upscale project than originally conceived
but sacnficed time to do so. We believe the local economy/community wi116e better off for it. (See attached
letter from Hilton dated 3/22/Ol, althouglt officially franehised in 11/00)
(2) in initial discussions with Niwot Sewer and Left Hand Water both w~th St Jullcn and St Julien's ciwl
engineers, Drexel Barrell, no problems were ind~cated m connecting the scrvices. Whcn engmeeri~ desigru
were cample~ed, etc, Left Hand inforn~ed App~~cant that capaciry was insu~cient (see attached memo ffom
Left Hand dated 6/1 I/01) prosimate to the s~te and proposed a connectaon some distance fi~rther. N~wot
Sewer, upon final review, mdicated a connecuon fee many times higher thun originally discussed These two
events motrvated St Julien to a~ain explore the comparison with Boulder connections
(3) Regardmg the curtent status of tech doc comments, thc last set of Staff comments were 7eceived the end of
January and we will be re-submittmg responses in May 2003. Also we in~tiated thc request £or ex[ension m
March 2003.
(4) Applicant believes that a two yeaz extension will provide the necessary timeframe to obtnin the permit and
fimsh construetion allowing for (1) the expected time to oUtain both teeh doc and building permil approvals
(i,e 6 months), (2} the construcdon period (i e.12-14 months) ,(3) some allowancc ~f project is delayed for
winter (i.e, 4 mon[hs),
Thank you for cons~denng our request and please feel free to call with eny quesnons. (D~rect 720-G06-9656)

RE; Porcelli Tap Request #2106 - Hatel SRe at Hwy. 5?J Oiagonal Hwy
I have finished my review of this request fa~ a 130-room hotel With restaurant and lounge,
The property has been annexed to 8oulder as part of the IBM propelty, but appl~canYs
englneer fias indirated to me that the Crty would not object to sern~e by Left Mand. No
documentation regarding NCWCD has been prov~ded, but 1 would thmk ft is wfthih Northem
Apphcant has provided estimated usage data, and indicaies a 2" - 4° metar wili be required,
~y companng the est~mated usage to actual usage of motels curcantly served by the Distnct, I
would expect at least a 3" rneter wdl he requifed, and have based my analysts on that
assumption
I have found that thc hotel could not be served 6y an eztension of the single 12" main that
Feeds into the 8oulder Tech Center. Monaroh Park Industnal and Gunbarrel EstaYeS The
existing mam is very near rapacrty and could not serve a large user such as this without
adversely afFecting pressure to exisUng cu~tomers in the Gunhartel area.
ln order for the aistrict to serve the hotel, the following off-srte improvements would be
required at Developer expense:
Approximately 7700 feet af 12" wator line along Highway 52, frnm the exigfing 12' Ilne
located onE mde east of 79'" Street, to the exisUng 12" Gunbarrol line that cros5es
Highway 52 approximaiely one-half mile west af 79"' Street. Thls wlll provide a secand
feed to the Boulder 7ecn Center and ad~oining area, reducing fnetion head losses,
improving fire flow, and increastng reliahility of service to the area. There would be some
potential for reimhursement through a linc particfpation agreement for any new taps
difectly on the water line or wrthin the Bouider Tech Center or Monarch Park Industnal
SRe
2 Appmz~mat~ly 22p0 feet of 12" water hne along Highway 52, finm the existing 8" at the
entrdnce to thc Baulder Tech Center, to the hotel srte property_ The fwo exist~ng 8" lines
feeding into the Tech Centerwould feed this 12" line I estimate thatfire flow would be at
least 2500 gpm at ZO psi ~esidual pressure, normal operatmg pressure would range fram
90 - 105 psi
Applicarlt must p~ovide evidence of mclusian In NCWCD as well as approval Trom the City of
6oulder for secvice from Left Hand Water Distrid,
