Mayor Harris opened the Public Hearing and requested proof of publication. City Manager Gipson reported that the subject property is a 0.52-acre site located on the north side of Forsyth Boulevard between Brentwood Boulevard and Maryland Avenue, and has a zoning designation of Special Development District (SDD). It is identified on the adopted land use plan as “Parcel III” and designated as subdistrict “Phase 5” of the Special Development District approved plan. As part of the SDD ordinance, the individual parcels on the block were to be developed in phases in accordance with general development standards for height, size and parking found in the

Special Development Plan. The subject property is now improved with a two-story commercial building that was constructed in 1947 and is currently vacant. Adjacent land uses include retail, office and Shaw Park to the south. Since approval of the rezoning in 1982 via Ordinance No. 4220 and “minor technical changes” via Ordinance No. 5461 in 1998 and Ordinance No. 5485 in 1999, four office buildings and a shared parking structure have been constructed. Two parcels, including the subject property, have not yet been redeveloped. The property is subject to the use, area, height, and parking requirements which are specified in the approved Special Development Plan. Tonight’s request is to amend the approved Special Development Plan to add “Hotel” as a permitted land use for Phase 5 so the site can be redeveloped. The completion date will also be updated. The specific amendment is to add hotel as a permissible land use (in addition to the already permissible “office” land use) to allow the development of a hotel on what is identified on the adopted Special Development Plan as Phase 5, and update the proposed completion date specified for Phase 5 from “1987-1995” to “2022-2024” to coincide with the developer’s schedule. Gary Feder, Attorney, Husch Blackwell, representing the owners of the Shaw Park Plaza, addressed the Board commenting that they have no objection to the hotel project. Mayor Harris closed the Public Hearing.

The motion passed unanimously on a voice vote. Alderman Boulton introduced Bill No. 6807, an ordinance to approve an amendment to the Special Development District for property at 8125 Forsyth Boulevard to allow for a hotel use to be read for the second time by title only. City Attorney O’Keefe reads Bill No. 6807, second reading, an Ordinance Amending the Forsyth Center Special Development District and Special Development Plan Adopted by Ordinance No. 4220, as Amended, to Approve a Hotel as a Permissible Land Use at 8125 Forsyth Boulevard in Subdistrict Phase 5 and Amending the Completion Date of Subdistrict Phase 5 by title only.
