The land use would change from UR to HDR, the zoning would change from <br />C-3 to R-4. This will allow them to convert the property to an 8 unit apartment building. <br />The City Council reviewed the concept land use amendment at their meeting on November 16. While <br />open to considering the change, the Council wanted to better understand the impact rezoning of the <br />hotel property would have on the larger bowling alley parcel. <br />At the Planning Commission meeting in November, one of public comments was a concern over <br />additional noise that an apartment building would generate over the hotel.

These same uses often are most successful with easy, efficient access. Access to the <br />property is via a drive and Highway 10 median break on the far west portion of the lot.
