Proposals for

a new hotel on the north side of Fayetteville and a gas station at Banks

Crossing are on the agenda for next week's meeting of the Fayetteville

Planning and Zoning Commission.

Developers

seeking to build a Hampton Inn in the Fayette Promenade complex, behind

the Kinko's and Hi-Fi Buys retail center, have asked the city for a special

exception to develop the site under the current Highway Commercial (C-3)

zoning. Site development plans have not yet been proposed.

City staff

has recommended denial of the special exception because of the hotel's

potential impact on the Pine Trail neighborhood just south of the site.

The building would be three stories in height, with dusk-to-dawn lighting

that cannot be screened from the residential area, and its 24-hour operation

would make it unique in Fayette Promenade.

Kroger at Banks

Crossing has asked for a special exception to develop and operate a fuel

center between Taco Bell and the main entrance to Banks Crossing on Ga.

Highway 85. Gas stations are permitted in C-3 zoning districts by special

exception only.

Proposed hours

of operation would be 5 a.m.-11 p.m. and there would be no convenience

store, only a kiosk for customers to pay for gas. City staff has recommended

approval. although not all of the required elements for the development

plan have been submitted.

Other agenda

items include:

* Development

plans for the K & G shopping center on Hwy. 85.

* Elevation

plans for Clairmont Building Four.

* A variance

for 250 Millhaven Landing in the Lakeside on Redwine subdivision.

* A preliminary

plat for Phase 3 of the Highland Park subdivision.

* A preliminary

plat for Phase 4B of Fayette Pavilion.

* A proposed

amendment to the city's Zoning Ordinance concerning area, yard and height

both within the Main Street District and in the rest of the city.

* A temporary

building at Fayette Promenade.
