lon Hotels and its desire to construct and operate an all-suites Marriott Residence Inn in the Kedron Office park won unanimous approval Jan. 15 from the Peachtree City Council.
The vote on the rezoning proposal was 4-0. Mayor Vanessa Fleisch did not attend the meeting.
The approval came with 14 conditions.
The Apsilon proposal called for the construction of a 62,000 sq. ft. Marriott Residence Inn with 126 rooms on 6.522 acres on the north side of the office park. The structure will have four floors and be no more than 45 feet in height at the highest point.
Apsilon at the Dec. 8 meeting of the Planning Commission withdrew its earlier proposal to have two of the three remaining undeveloped pads rezoned LUC (limited use commercial). As a result, the only consideration before the council dealt with the rezoning request for the northernmost pad on 6.52 acres on which the Residence Inn will be located.
Prior to Dec. 8, Apsilon had requested the two remaining tracts be included in the LUC request to potentially construct an 8,000 sq. ft. banquet center and a boutique hotel on the two other previously-approved pads at the office park. As it stands now, the two remaining pads will retain O-I (office institutional) zoning.
Based on conversations with neighbors, Apilson agreed to a covenant statement that includes the stipulation that a future rezoning of the two remaining pads in the office park from the current Office-Institutional zoning category would required the written consent of the Kedron Hills Homeowners Association.
The conceptual site plan for the Kedron Office Park was approved in December 2005. Though only one building was constructed since that time, the parking and other infrastructure has long been completed.
The Hilton Garden Inn is Apsilon’s other hotel property in Peachtree City.
