Title
Staybridge Suites and Retail Planned Project Site Plan, Rezoning and Landscape Modification - A request to rezone this 3.56-acre parcel, located at 3850 Research Park Drive, from RE (Research District) to C2B (Business Service District) to redevelop for hotel and retail uses, and a proposal to demolish an existing building and construct a two-story, 9,120-square foot retail building and four-story, 90,198-square foot extended stay hotel with 134 rooms. Access to the site will be provided through a driveway on Research Park Drive. A planned project modification is requested to reduce the front setback along South State Street. A Landscape Modification is required because the hedge/berm/wall Right-of-Way screening requirement (Chapter 62, 5:602(1)(c)) along S. State Street cannot be met because it will damage the existing landmark trees. (Ward 4) Staff Recommendation: Approval
