Title
Conduct a public hearing and consider adopting Ordinance No. 3447 for a Specific Use Permit for a hotel located at 1520 Mira Lago Blvd.; and take appropriate action.
Body
BACKGROUND:
This 2.03 acre site is located within the Mira Lago peninsula, in the northwestern tract defined by the existing Mira Lago and Lago Vista West Boulevards. The entire Lago Vista peninsula (consisting of approximately 66 acres) is zoned Planned Development No. 81 (PD-81). This PD allows for a wide variety of retail, office and high density residential development. This undeveloped site is located within the “Employment Core” zoning subdistrict, which currently allows “limited service hotels” to be developed after obtaining a Specific Use Permit.
DISCUSSION:
The applicant, La Quinta Inn and Suites, is requesting a Specific Use Permit to allow a hotel use on the Mira Lago Peninsula. The Site Plan for this SUP proposes two buildings on the site: one 4-story hotel, containing 109 rooms, and one 2-level parking structure.
RECOMMENDATION:
On May 22nd, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Specific Use Permit as presented in the Ordinance No. 3447.
