Title
15. A Petition of Tom Bolton on behalf of Vintage Home Builders, LLC for a Special Use Permit to Establish a Hotel in TC-1 (Traditional Commercial-1) Zoning District with Conditions on 0.32 acres at 2512 Habersham Street (20075 21007) in Aldermanic District 2 (25-005273-ZA).
Strategic Priority
GOAL 4:  Develop World Class Livable Environment & Infrastructure
Description

The Petitioner requests approval of a Special Use Permit to establish a ‘Hotel/motel, 16-74 rooms’ within the TC-1 zoning district. Per the Zoning Ordinance, a ‘Hotel, Motel’ is defined as a lodging establishment for transient guests with more than 15 guest rooms.

The subject property is within the Streetcar Local Historic District, which is proposed for inclusion in an expanded Hotel Development Overlay (Sec. 7.13).  As proposed, the overlay would prohibit its establishment; however, the present application was received prior to the overlay’s consideration or approval by City Council.

Recommendation

On December 16, 2025, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the requested Special Use Permit to establish a hotel/motel with the following conditions:

  1. The proposed use shall contain no more than 21 guest rooms.
  2. The proposed use shall require 24/7 staffing.
