Please click here for detailed information about the proposed hotel in Petition 2012-40
The proposal is to construct a 5-story hotel with 2 additional levels for underground parking. At this time, the developer, CN Hotels, does not know which hotel will be interested but has experience developing the following hotels in Charlotte:
- Super 8 @ I-77 & Exit 1 – Westinghouse Blvd (Paramount Carowinds)
- Best Western @ the corner of Independence Blvd and Sardis Road North
- Home 2 Suites @ I-77 and Tyvola Road and Nations Ford Road
The Ivey, Brighton Gardens, and the families living adjacent to the property have major concerns about the type of structure proposed for such a small piece of land along primarily a residential Park South Drive.
- Safety impact on the at-risk frail elderly population, many of whom have Azheimer’s disease or other forms of memory loss. Currently, their environment is serene and beautiful.
- Safety impact on the families with children (18 under age 10) who are adjacent to the back of the lot.
- Increased traffic, noise, and light. Charlotte DOT has estimated an additional 882 cars per day along that area of Park South Drive.
- Potential damage and disruption to adjacent properties from potential extensive use of dynamite to cut through rock on the land.
- Lack of continuity or compatibility of design and appeal with surrounding environment since propsed hotel is not yet known.
