3.A. REQUEST TO AMEND PREVIOUSLY APPROVED ROBERTSON LANE HOTEL PROJECT LOCATED AT 645-685 ROBERTSON BOULEVARD AND 648-654 LA PEER DRIVE AND CONSTRUCT A NEW, TWO-STORY, COMMERCIAL BUILDING LOCATED AT 8954 SANTA MONICA BLVD. (ROBERTSON LANE HOTEL & TREEHOUSE PROJECT) [J. KEHO, J. ALKIRE, D. VU, L. YELTON]: SUBJECT: The purpose of this hearing is to review a major amendment to the approved Robertson Lane Hotel Project. The project was previously approved as a 237-room hotel, associated commercial uses, and included the rehabilitation and on-site relocation of a portion of the Factory Building, a potential cultural resource on the subject site. The proposed changes requested by the applicant include expansion of the Robertson Lane Specific Plan (RLSP) to include the adjacent, two-story commercial project (The Treehouse Project) located at 8954 Santa Monica and 685 Robertson Boulevards, which is also under consideration for approval, and changes to the Robertson Lane Hotel portion of the project.

    The revised plan for the building (addition of Treehouse component and shift from hotel to business planning) is fine, and overall this is an excellent project. But the bicycle parking in the project is unacceptable. The locations in the lane will be hard to reach and lead to conflicts with pedestrians. The lack of secure day-long storage in the garage area for tenants/workers in the office component is baffling. We can't reduce car use without providing secure bike storage for workers.
