A new hotel, developed by Benedikt Fritzsche, consisting of 108 rooms is proposed near the Sponge Docks. The 1.9 acre property is located at the northeast and southeast corners of Hill Street and Roosevelt Boulevard. The subject property is located within the City's Special Area Plan and is located within both the T5c and T4a transect zones. Hotels are a conditional use within the T4a transect zone, which requires review by the Planning and Zoning Board and Board of Commissioners.
The tentative project timeline and PDFs of all submitted conditional use application materials can be found on the right side of this page.
The applicant previously submitted a conditional use application (App. #21-37), but has withdrawn that request and submitted the current application with an updated hotel design and layout. All materials for the original application can be viewed on the right side of this page.
