Commission approves two waivers for Fairfield Inn; parking‑width reduction passes 8–1
Summary
High Point Lodging's 92‑room Fairfield Inn received two waivers: reduction of a 40‑ft landscape buffer to 10 ft (approved unanimously) and a parking stall width reduction from 10 ft to 9 ft (approved 8–1). Staff recommended approval of both waivers.
The Greenwood Advisory Planning Commission approved two waiver requests for a proposed 92‑room Fairfield Inn near S. Main Street and I‑65.
A representative for High Point Lodging said the site provides required parking and internal circulation but requested two waivers to make the 92‑room hotel fit the site: a reduction in parking stall width from 10 to 9 feet and a reduction of a 40‑foot landscape buffer along an industrial neighbor to 10 feet. The developer said the hotel will still provide landscape separation within the reduced buffer and that narrower stalls are common in comparable hotels.
Planning staff recommended approval of both waivers with no conditions. Commissioners discussed circulation, buffer impacts and the site's constraints. The landscaping/buffer waiver passed by roll call unanimously; the parking‑width waiver passed 8–1, with one commissioner voting no.
The commission recorded the waivers and noted that reduced parking dimensions and buffers will be reflected in final site plans and related documents required for building permit review.
