Public testimony: Olivia Voltz testified with concerns and questions on the loss of street parking to hotel use. The commission and developer team discussed a number of aspects including that the project would entail 59 offsite parking and 11 onsite parking at a minimum, the developer was considering 4 offsite parking solution structures (to be further determined), a possible surface lot, valet service and traffic flow, there being no current public street parking onsite currently, street parking in the area would be used by hotel patrons but not on a permanent basis, street activiation, and landscape lighting/fixtures. Ald. Brostroff was in support of the project bringing in more foot traffic and commerce to the area, that the majority of public feedback received by him was positive, the project being an improvement over the current blighted building, and that the positives would outweigh the concerns over traffic and parking.
