ZON-25-0007 — 4-story hotel (Residence Inn) in Hutto, TX
This rezoning request seeks to establish a Planned Unit Development for a 2.914-acre hotel property to allow a 4-story Residence Inn with modified height (55 feet vs. 45-foot B-2 standard), reduced parking requirements (0.9 spaces per room vs. 1.2), and no guest room windows on the north façade. Staff recommended denial, concluding the PUD is being misused to circumvent the variance process rather than provide innovative planning, with the primary benefits being developer convenience rather than community benefit.
