A six-storey Hyatt hotel could soon be built on a busy, long-vacant 麻豆精选 corner.
Plans for the hotel and accompanying six-storey mixed use building at the corner of Enterprise Way and Spall Road will be presented to council today for a rezoning application.
City staff is supporting the bylaw amendments that will allow for the larger footprint, saying the subject property is currently vacant, under-utilized and in an ideal spot for a development of this kind.
鈥淭he property is located in a strategic position within the Mid-town Urban Centre at the intersection of two busy roads serviced by the nearby rapid transit network, and is also well served by nearby shopping plazas, a recreation centre, multi-use trails, and the Landmark employment hub,鈥� reads the report to council.
The Official Community Plan future land use designation for the property is Mixed Use Residential/Commercial.
The property鈥檚 Walk Score is 74, which means most errands can be accomplished on foot.
鈥淎s a result, staff are supportive of the proposed rezoning to the CD17-Mixed Use Commercial 鈥揌igh Density zone in order to facilitate the development of a major hotel and mixed- use commercial and residential building,鈥� reads the report.
With city鈥檚 approval the application will move to a public hearing.
The proposed project is time sensitive as the applicant has a contract with Hyatt Hotels that requires construction begin in the spring of 2018.
