Commission recommends rezoning for new Hampton Inn; developer cites tax benefits

City Tech Design representative Ben Vaughn told the commission the firm seeks to rezone roughly 3.63 acres from CPCD to CHB to permit construction of a Hampton Inn hotel. Vaughn said the project would be "approximately a 48,000 square foot hotel, which will be 89 approximate rooms, the common room spaces and the 91 required parking spaces," and argued CHB is appropriate given nearby commercial zoning and comparable hotels. Planning staff recommended CHB as fitting the current development pattern. No public opposition spoke; the commission voted to recommend approval to the Board of Commissioners (motion carried 3 0).
