Council vacates alley for proposed 15‑story hotel and parking structure (Council Bill 24‑1018)
Summary
The City Council adopted Council Bill 24‑1018 to vacate a portion of alley right‑of‑way north of Sherman for a proposed 15‑story hotel, restaurant and multilevel parking structure owned by Hagedorn Hospitality Corporation; staff recommended approval after mailed notice and the developer said the vacation will allow the resort to manage maintenance and snow removal within the block.
The Coeur d’Alene City Council voted to adopt Council Bill 24‑1018, vacating a portion of alley right‑of‑way in Block Y of the Coeur d’Alene and King’s Edition plat to facilitate a downtown development proposed by Hagedorn Hospitality Corporation.
Staff (Dennis Grant, engineering) summarized the request: the alley vacation is proposed to allow construction of a 15‑story hotel, restaurant and multilevel parking garage on parcels the applicant controls in the block north of Sherman and south of Lakeside Avenue. The project received unanimous approval from the design review commission in March 2024 and staff reported mailed notices to adjacent owners (129 certified mailings) with three responses (one supportive and two neutral). Staff recommended the vacation under Idaho Code 50‑1306, subject to an easement preserving city access to existing utilities and to other standard conditions.
The applicant’s representative, Drew Dittman of Lake City Engineering, said Hagedorn Hospitality Corporation owns the parcels surrounding the alley and that vacating the alley would let the developer control maintenance, snow removal and on‑site circulation; the site plan shows a two‑story parking garage, a new Azul restaurant and the hotel tower, with a dedicated ADA parking area and a shared dumpster location for the block.
Council dispensed with the rule to read the ordinance title once by title and then adopted Council Bill 24‑1018 by roll call. Votes recorded in the transcript indicate council approval.
Next steps: the city will publish the ordinance summary as required and record the easement to preserve access to city utilities; staff said utility easements will be included to allow city access.
