Zoning Docket 076/26

Represented the ownership group for the boutique hotel, describing the preserved historic facades, 24/7 staffing, 30 bedrooms, valet parking, and experienced hospitality operators.

Represented the applicant, stressing the hotel is permitted by right but for the citywide transient lodging IZD, that no variances are sought, and citing strong NPP meeting support; gave rebuttal on parking and the opposition letters.

Project architect explaining that enhancement-corridor rules make on-site parking essentially impossible on the corner lot.

Lives a block away since 1999; complained about past illegal short-term rentals, said the two Pauger blocks have no restricted parking and parking is hard, and argued housing would serve the neighborhood better than another hotel.
