WORK STUDY SESSION <br /> <br />N. DISCUSSION OF EXTENDED-STAY BUSINESS HOTELS WITHIN SPECIFIC <br />DEVELOPMENT NO. 12 (SD-12) <br />Karen Haluza discussed long-term stay business hotels and whether the use <br />would be appropriate within Hotel Terrace (Specific Development No. 12). Long- <br />term stay business hotels are not currently permitted in SD-12 so a zoning <br />ordinance amendment would be required to permit the use with a conditional use <br />permit. <br />A history of the City's hotel standards and design guidelines was presented. A <br />general discussion ensued about the Hotel Terrace area. The Commission <br />would like to attract full service hotels that cater more to vacationers and leisure <br />travelers and is reluctant to change the focus of the area to long-term stay <br />business travelers. The addition of kitchens to hotel rooms was not viewed as an <br />upgrade and could have negative impacts to the Hotel Terrace area and to the <br />City's ability to attract future full service hotels to the area. Mr. Trevino <br />emphasized that long-term stay hotels would only be allowed in Hotel Terrace if a <br />zoning ordinance amendment were approved to allow the use. <br />1 <br />1 <br />O.
