VA-17-10-091 — JONATHAN P. HUELS, P.A.

Request: Variance in the C-1 zoning district to construct new hotel 75 ft. in height in lieu of 50 ft. (Note: The existing Days Inn and Suites hotel will be re-built into a Springhill Suites hotel.)

Decision: Approved

Hearing: The applicant proposes to renovate the existing 2 story hotel on the site. The plans call for a 5 story new hotel 75 ft. in height. The zoning code limits the height to 50 ft. Staff gave a brief overview of the area and advised the BZA that this corridor is ideal for taller structures. The uses are commercial and are oriented to serve the UCF, Central Florida Research Park and Alafaya Trail area. The hotel is oriented to E. Colonial Drive. The applicant gave a brief presentation and agreed with the staff recommendation. There was no opposition at the hearing.
