The Daytona Beach Planning Board on July 24 approved a major site plan for a hotel on Phase 2, Lot 2 of the Oasis master development, advancing a 94,320‑square‑foot building and parking area on roughly 8.4 acres toward construction subject to technical conditions.

Staff said the proposed hotel will use off‑site stormwater ponds constructed as part of the master plan and that all technical items — architectural elevations, landscaping, traffic analysis and payment — must be resolved before final site‑plan approval and issuance of permits.

Paula (last name not given in the transcript), presenting for staff, said the project was brought by Daytona Luxe Development LLC with civil and engineering work by Kimley‑Horn. The staff report said the LDC requires one parking space per room for hotels (131 rooms in the project) plus additional parking based on restaurant customer service area calculations; that math produced a combined hypothetical parking need of 218 spaces if a restaurant with a 3,900‑square‑foot customer service area were included. The hotel alone accounts for 140 required spaces under the code; the proposed plan provides 182 spaces for the hotel parcel.

Board members repeatedly clarified that the approval being considered applied only to the hotel. When questions raised the restaurant as a potential future use on the parcel, staff and the applicant confirmed the restaurant, if proposed, would require a separate application and parking calculations and could trigger reworking of parking allocations, shared‑parking agreements or additional requirements.

Applicant Sydney Reynolds of Kimley‑Horn said the development team and the hotel developer intend a high‑quality project and that technical requirements will be addressed before permits are issued. Staff added that an executed traffic impact agreement exists and the outstanding condition was final payment before site‑plan approval would be issued.

Motion and outcome: Planning Board Member (mover) made a motion to approve the major site plan (DEV‑2024‑571) for Phase 2 Lot 2 (hotel only); the motion was seconded and passed unanimously. Staff noted that, "Nothing is gonna happen until those things are satisfied," meaning final technical conditions and payment must be completed before permits are issued.

The board’s vote clears the hotel site plan to move to final technical signoffs and permit issuance once the outstanding conditions are met; any future restaurant or separate commercial use on the parcel will require separate review for parking and design compliance.
