RE: PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Haystack Way Apartments and Saddle Ave Hilton Dual Brand Hotel
Parcel Numbers R3527612100 and R3527612000
On behalf of Ahlquist, we are submitting for a modification to the Development Agreement which will allow for
multi-family use (apartments) in our mixed-use development. Besides a 119-room Hilton dual brand hotel, we
wish to construct a 98-unit apartment building along Haystack Way.
The project has been revised from a 156-unit multi-family development to a 98-unit apartment building plus a
119-room Hilton Home2 Suites/Hampton Inn Dual Brand Hotel. A total of 241 parking stalls has been provided
on site plus 23 shared stalls off-site to meet the 264-stall requirement. Agreements have been made for the
additional 23 stalls with the adjacent VA Clinic and D&B Lumber, since the use of parking for the hotel is after
4pm and the Clinic will be closed during the need for parking for the hotel since guest check-in is after 3pm.
Both the apartment building and the hotel will be 4 stories in height with elevator access. Access will be
provided off Haystack Way and Saddle Ave on the east and west sides of the site.
Due to the urban setting of this site, we are also proposing that open space be limited to a 4,200 sf exterior
plaza and decks/patios for the apartments, plus lobby, meeting rooms, fitness centers, and outdoor bbq areas.
The current Future Land Use Map designates the property as Manufacturing & Production; however, the new
Comprehensive Plan being reviewed for adoption identifies the property as Mixed Use Center which allows
Residential High Density and R-3 zoning with up to 40 dwelling units per acre utilizing the density bonus program.
The original Development Agreement did not include multi-family use, so we are submitting for a modification
to allow multi-family so we can have apartments included in the project.
We appreciate you time to review this Development Agreement Modification. In accordance with the submittal
checklists, we are submitting electronically all required information. Should you have any questions, please
contact me at craigd@jd-arch.com.
Sincerely,
Craig Davenport, AIA
