Re: Case PD-AMD-20-001
Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting, August 27, 2020
Agenda Item:
Case PD-AMD-20-001 (PD-30 Amendment to allow EIFS on Aloft Hotel)
1. Conduct a Public Hearing regarding a request to amend Planned Development district
30 (PD-30), specifically, Aloft Hotel, located on Lot 4, Trophy Club Town Center, a
portion of 26.4 acres at the northeast corner of Trophy Club Drive and State Highway
114, to allow the use of Exterior Insulation Finish System (EIFS) on the first floor of a
building and as a substitute for required masonry.
2. Consider and take appropriate action regarding a request to amend Planned
Development district 30 (PD-30), specifically, Aloft Hotel, located on Lot 4, Trophy Club
Town Center, a portion of 26.4 acres at the northeast corner of Trophy Club Drive, and
State Highway 114, to allow the use of Exterior Insulation Finish System (EIFS) on the
first floor of a building and as a substitute for required masonry.
Strategic Link:
Infrastructure & Development – Foster a business-friendly environment.
Background and Explanation:
In March 2016, the Town Council voted to amend PD-30, allowing limited service hotels in the
district with fewer than 150 rooms if a Specific Use Permit is granted. PD-30 was also amended
to state that front facing facades be composed of 85% masonry, defined as brick, natural and
manmade stone, architectural-colored concrete masonry block, both smooth and split-face,
stucco using the 3 step process, tile, cast stone, or glass block and cementitious plank and
siding utilized in recessed areas only not visible from the street.
In December 2018, Council voted to grant Kriya Hotels a Specific Use Permit to develop an Aloft
Hotel within the PD-30 zoning district. The limited-service hotel was approved for 132 hotel
rooms due to the limitations of the proposed construction and the requirements imposed by
Planning & Zoning Commission Page 5 of 14 Meeting Date: Thursday, August 27, 2020
Page 2 of 2
the International Building Code (IBC) that limit the height of buildings with the proposed
construction. The SUP required the developer to provide no less than 2,000 square feet of
meeting space, select food service, a lobby, a minimum of 300 square feet in each hotel room,
and a 24/7 on-site staff.
A Site Plan for the hotel was approved in April 2019 showing stucco and Nichiha wood panel
siding. The applicant is requesting that the list of materials approved for use in PD-30 be
amended to allow the use of EIFS on the hotel. EIFS stands for “Exterior Insulation Finish
System.” Because EIFS uses a foam insulator as the primary material, it is not typically classified
as a masonry material. EIFS also lacks the durability and color fastness of true stucco, which
uses cement plaster.
Section II.E.4.g of PD-30 (ORDINANCE NO. 2016-11) permits the use of EIFS within the non-
masonry allowance, but limits its use to cornices, top parapets and walls on the second floor
and above if the application is exposed from the top. It also states that the EIFS must be hail
resistant or protected. The applicant requests to use EIFS on all floors of the building.
Public notice was published in the newspaper and sent to those who own property within 200
feet of the subject property, as required by State law.
Financial Considerations:
Not applicable.
Legal Review:
This item is currently under review by the Town Attorney.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends denial of the amendment to PD-30 allowing EIFS on the first floor of the
hotel.
