COMMISSION BUSINESS 6.01: Consider Site Selection Options for New Hotel Concept Presentation Community Development Director Gladhill presented the Staff Report and noted that staff believes that this is a worthy project for this parcel and is generally comfortable with either alternative site selection. The intent for this evening is high-level; does the Planning Commission desire this project to get to the finish line? If so, staff will chart out the necessary approval process moving forward. Commission Business Chairperson Bauer asked if the EDA has reviewed this concept. Community Development Director Gladhill replied that the EDA would be reviewing this concept at their meeting the following week. He noted that the Planning Commission provides more input on design and layout while the EDA tends to focus more on the deal structure. Chairperson Bauer stated that both options appear that they could work but noted that it would be helpful to know which parcel would be better for current development and which parcel would be better kept for future development. Commissioner Woestehoff asked if Lot 1 is vacant or whether that is Stone Brook Academy. It was confirmed that Lot 1 is Stone Brook Academy. Planning Commission/ September 5, 2019 Page 4 of 6
