The property in question is a 2.28 acre tract of land located at 711 <br />th <br />W. Fairmont Pkwy. and is legally described as Lots 1 16 and 19 32, Block 1103 and East 30 of 7 St. ROW <br />and Adjacent 16 foot Alley La Porte Subdivision. <br />The property is currently partially occupied by an overflow parking lot for the adjacent US Post Office and is <br />zoned General Commercial (GC). The applicant is interested in removing the existing paving and redeveloping <br />the site. Current plans call for a Holiday Inn Express and Suites hotel to occupy the entire 2.28 acres. <br />The applicant requested the identical SCUP request a number of weeks back. The Planning and Zoning <br />Commission, at their August 16, 2018 meeting, recommended denial on a 5-1 vote. The City Council, on <br />September 24, voted 7-2 in favor of denying the request. <br />Staff did not receive any comment sheets in favor or opposition to the proposed SCUP. The applicant did <br />provide 107 comment sheets from various businesses and entities throughout the city that were all in favor of <br />the proposed project. <br />The Planning and Zoning Commission, at their November 15, 2018 regular meeting, voted 6-0 to recommend <br />denial of the proposed SCUP, as presented. Commissioner Kendrick abstained. Vice Chairperson Warren and <br />Chairperson Lawler were absent. If the City Council decides to approve the request, staff has suggested a <br />number of conditions of approval. Below is a list of all included conditions: <br /> <br />
