Executive Summary:
This is part of the third phase of development that was approved in 2018 for a hotel. This proposal is to
approve a Detail Site Plan for the construction of a 77,507-square foot, five-story Hilton Garden Inn hotel
and associated parking.
Introduction:
This proposal is to construct an approximately 77,507 square foot, 5-story Hilton Garden Inn hotel,
containing 134 rooms. The building exterior is to be finished with a combination of EIFS accented with
a charcoal color stone. The EIFS finish is proposed to be painted in their prototype colors with various
finishes. This is an interior lot with access from Belt Line Road, Point West Blvd and I-635 via multiple
access easements. In addition to the standard hotel requirements, the hotel amenities proposed include:
a pool (600-sf); an equipped weight-room/fitness center (900-sf); and an outdoor plaza area (1,400-sf).
The site will have 141 parking spaces and one loading zone for deliveries. The property will need to be
replatted and delineate the mutual access, fire lane and other easements. They are asking for several
exceptions which are listed in the PD Conditions recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
