Flower Mound council tables decision on Lakeside Crossing hotel after hours of public testimony
Summary
After more than two hours of public testimony and detailed questioning of the developer, the Flower Mound Town Council voted to table a planned zoning amendment that would allow a 134‑room, five‑story hotel in Lakeside Crossing, including an extended‑stay option the public had strongly opposed.
The Flower Mound Town Council on Wednesday tabled consideration of a proposed amendment to the Lakeside Crossing planned development that would allow a five‑story, 134‑room hotel on Lot 1, Block A, after residents raised objections to extended‑stay uses, parking and the building’s scale.
Planning staff presented the requested changes as an amendment to PD‑153 that would: permit one extended‑stay hotel by right on Lot 1, Block A; set a maximum of 134 rooms (staff said the applicant previously offered 138 and later reduced to 134); modify the porte‑cochère standard to allow tandem rather than side‑by‑side covered spaces; adopt a time‑based shared parking approach that results in an effective hotel parking ratio of roughly 0.76 spaces per room in the study’s peak hours; require a minimum STR (Smith Travel Research) chain‑scale classification of “upscale” or better for any hotel built on the lot; and permit blade signs and a meritorious design exception to match Lakeside DFW architectural elements.
