Background:
The project is located at northwest corner of NE 5th Avenue and NE 2nd Street. At its meeting on February 26, 2020, the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board (SPRAB) approved a Class V Site Plan application (2019-233) for a 143-room, four-story hotel ("PHG Hotel") with surface and subterranean parking. On May 13, 2020, a building permit was issued for the construction of the PHG Hotel. The hold harmless agreement is necessary for work to be performed within a State right-of-way. The work to be performed is the relocation of a water main and other related improvements within the public right-of-way on NE 5th Avenue (US-1). This agreement requires the owner of the property and project to hold the City harmless for any work performed in the State right-of-way.
