San Ramon Planning Commissioners are set Tuesday for a study session to review the revised concept development plan for parking at a hotel proposed to be built near San Ramon Valley Boulevard and Deerwood Road.

The commission voted to approve the development of a four-story, 90-guest room Hampton Inn hotel on 1.2 acres at 2231 Omega Road in 2019, including 164 parking spaces that were primarily set to primarily be housed in a four-story structure on the property. Last December, the applicant, Gerald Goldbach of Fortune Architects, submitted the concept development plan review application for revisions to the parking design.

The revised design would replace the four-story parking structure, which was also set to house a pool, with 40 parking spaces in a new basement level below the hotel, and 64 spaces at surface level. This would mean reducing the total number of parking spaces by 17, or 14% of the 121 spaces required under the previously approved plan.

Additionally, the revised plan includes a screen wall with decorative openings around the surface-level parking lot. Plans for the hotel itself would remain the same otherwise, according to city staff.

Commissioners are set to hear the staff report on the item, listen to public comment and offer feedback to the applicant and staff at the upcoming meeting.

So, Morgan's masonry will be the facing view of the new hotel. At the entrance of the hotel will be the manure pile which is really pungent for about 3-4 days when dropped off. At about 4 am trucks show up to dump off boulders and rock which the heavy equipment move into place. On two sides are the area businesses which include a melodious doggy day care, a cabinet shop and numerous auto mechanical shops. Lastly, while sitting out at the pool getting a tan the wind kicks up and you have a nice layer of dust covering your body.

Sounds like it has the sights, sounds and smells of a destination hotel.

Hahahaha. I like what Kevin said. I think they should just keep building and building. Add more section 8 housing and for sure erect an “unhoused persons” facility. Lots more apartments should be coming in, too. The more the merrier, right? Every square inch should be filled with high density housing. Make room for all the “aspiring Americans”coming across the border. Let’s make California great again!
