§ 138-3231. Hotel/motel.

(a)

Purpose. Hotels and motels are intended to provide temporary accommodations for tourists, visitors, and business travelers for relatively short periods of time. Hotel and motels are intended to be compatible with the surrounding character in terms of scale, accessibility, and services. Hotels/motels in residential districts should respond to the scale of the neighborhood. Hotels/motels in industrial districts should service accommodation needs for nearby employers but are limited in size to protect viable employment land.

(b)

Applicability. The provisions of this section shall apply to hotels, motels, and similar uses providing for temporary accommodations.

(c)

Standards.

(1)

At least 50 percent of street facades shall have architectural articulation.

(2)

Accessory uses such as alcohol dispensing lounges, food service, and recreational facilities shall be considered ancillary and generally intended for overnight guests. Uses that are generally intended to serve non-overnight guests shall seek separate land use approval pursuant to Table 138-355—Table of Uses for Zoning Districts.

(3)

Hotel/motel uses may not be converted to a condominium form of ownership unless the underlying residential density and other applicable code requirements are met.
