Analysis
SUMMARY:
Specific Use Permit and Site Plan for Hyatt Place, a hotel located on 2.6 acres. Tract 2B02, Charles D Ball Survey, Abstract No. 197, City of Grand Prairie, Tarrant County, Texas, zoned PD-29, within IH-20 Corridor Overlay District, generally located north of I-20, south of Sara Jane Pkwy, and west of Bob Smith Pkwy.
PROJECT UPDATE:
The Planning and Zoning Commission tabled this request at the July 1, 2019 meeting. Since then, the applicant has added windows on the south facade and additional landscaping around the pool area. Windows now account for 15% of the south facade and 50% of the length of all facades.
PURPOSE OF REQUEST:
The applicant intends to construct a 100-room hotel in the IH 20 Corridor. Hotels require a Specific Use Permit when located within a Corridor Overlay District, 300 feet of residential zoning, or 900 feet of a similar use. Any development in a planned development district or corridor overlay district requires City Council approval of a Site Plan. Development at this location requires Specific Use Permit/Site Plan approval by City Council because the property is zoned PD-29, within the IH-20 Corridor Overlay District, within 300 feet of residential zoning and 900 feet of a similar use.
