91大黄鸭 city council has given the green light to send a plan to build at the corner of Enterprise Way and Spall Road to a public hearing for rezoning of the site.
Some on council felt the hotel was acceptable from an architectural point of view for the 鈥渧ery prominent鈥� corner and were generally supportive, while others felt the multi-use building to be built beside it appeared a tad plain in the artist鈥檚 rendition.
鈥淚 want to see architectural features that would enhance the area,鈥� said Coun. Luke Stack.
He said while he felt the proposed hotel building looked fine, the multi-use building was lacking.
The multi-use building, to sit at the back of the site, away from the corner, would also be a six-storeys high and include residential and commercial spaces.
Because the developer has a contract to make the hotel鈥攊f approved鈥� a Hyatt hotel, construction would have to start by the spring of 2018. City staff said they proposed a comprehensive development zone for the property that would allow building heights up to 16 storeys, but staff said the developer is willing to place a covenant on title stipulating the maximum height will only be six storeys.
The site, behind the Spall Plaza, has sat vacant for many years.
