Mr. Koehler explained that he had deter- mined that the presence of cooking facilities in a unit made it an apartment dwelling unit as opposed to a living unit for transient guests, and that parking and parkland dedication requirements for apartment dwelling units should apply. Mr. Parkhill pointed out that the Lexington operations had been classed as hotel-motel~by the courts for compliance with minimum wage laws, that maid service and utensils are furnished in the transient units and that the twenty one other Lexington operations in fact operate as economy motels. Mr. Wilkins said that the operation depends upon transient unit operations to maintain a favorable rate of return for the units, that they did not lease units, that they had an established dai.]_y rata aria required reservations. Weiss moved that the Board accept the appeal, classifying 24 units as apartments and 24 units as motel units, each to be treated separately for parking and parkland requirements, due to the fact that the project is in a commercial zone, that a daily rent is established, that reser- vations are required, that maid service is furnished and that the units are not leased. The motion was seconded by Hughey and unanimously approved. 5. Other Business - 'T`here was no other business 6. Adjourn - There being no other business, the Chairman declared the meeting adjourned.
