ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
Nortex Hotel Group LLC desires to construct a hotel at the intersection of Rockbrook Drive and State Highway 121 that will include two brands; Avid Hotel and Staybridge Suites. The Staybridge Suites brand is an extended stay hotel and features rooms with kitchenettes. The Special Use Permit (SUP) regulations adopted in 2013 require that all hotels with rooms containing a cooktop or oven require the approval of a SUP. The following two variances are requested in conjunction with this SUP: a) to allow pavement over a grass-only waterline easement; and b) to waive the 325 square-foot floor room minimum requirement for 49 rooms with the condition that the average room size be greater than 325 square feet. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended unanimous approval (5-0) of the Special Use Permit on January 21, 2020.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the ordinance and the two associated variance requests as set forth in the caption above with the conditions that: the owner will be responsible for any and all pavement repairs required due to maintenance or repair of the City water main performed by City crews or by the City's contractor; Flock Safety cameras be installed at every entrance into the property; and an access easement be provided between the subject property and the property to the north.
