Planning commission approves buffering exception for proposed Henry Shaw hotel
The commission approved Planning Resolution 11‑2026 (3‑0) to allow a combination of a retaining wall and a non‑opaque fence instead of the required 8‑ft opaque screening at 836 and 840 South Main Street for a vested, proposed 240‑unit hotel.

The approval permits increased buffer depths, specified plantings, a 10‑foot retaining wall along the western boundary, and a non‑opaque fence mounted above the wall in place of the code's 8‑foot opaque screening element.
