The new, 90-unit Oak Tree Inn is moving forward in Paso Robles.
On Tuesday, the Paso Robles Planning Commission approved a planned development for the new hotel building subject to some new conditions. The Oak Tree Inn, 3002 Riverside Ave. near the Paso Robles Event Center, is planned to be a three-story hotel with a boardroom, outdoor pool with patio area, fitness center, housekeeping laundry facilities and hotel business offices, according to a city staff report.
The city’s Design Review Committee supported the architecture of the project. Architectural details include multicolored paint, stucco, El Dorado stone veneer, wrought iron balconies and a tiled roof, according to city officials. The DRC was pleased that the applicant integrated an existing oak tree into the site design, officials said.
The project lies on two acres of a vacant five-acre lot at the northeast corner of Riverside Avenue and Black Oak Drive.
The Planning Commission voted 6-0, with chairman Ed Steinbeck recusing himself due to a conflict of interest, to adopt a resolution with certain conditions of approval for the Planned Development, and added two new conditions.
There was some discussion centered around signage and whether the applicant should be allowed to display a sign on either an elevated tower, a nearby pole, or both.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the commission overwhelmingly preferred the idea of a tower sign and added a condition restricting the pole sign.
There was also some discussion about the 25-foot parking lot lights. The commission decided to let the project go forward subject to approval of the lighting elements by the office of the community development director.
