Conditional Use Permit to operate a hotel <br />Mr. Carlton presented the staff report along with a PowerPoint.

Mr. Briggs indicated the May 1, 2014, report was corrected on Februarys <br />11, 2016, by the State Fire Marshal's Office. <br />Mr. Briggs indicated enormous efforts have been put forth by his staff and city staff <br />to get the property in line with where they'd like to be. He explained he made an <br />attempt to do nightly stays but the type of guests coming for the nightly stays were <br />inappropriate for the city. He stated extended stay/lodging makes more sense. He <br />further explained the plan was to move forward with a Conditional Use Permit and <br />Comprehensive Plan amendment but as the process continued, he thought it might <br />not be the appropriate process to follow for this area since it is planned for high <br />density residential. <br />He indicated the Planning Commission agreed at their last meeting an Interim Use <br />Permit (IUP) would be more appropriate based on the timeframe for conversion to <br />POW€REO 6Y <br />NATUREI <br />
