Summary
A proposal to rezone a property at 256 East 300 South from R-MU to D-1 to allow for a new 185-foot hotel building faced significant Council opposition. Concerns centered on the building's height, lack of setbacks, and the city's urgent need for housing rather than additional hotel space, especially in a recently upzoned area.

Impact analysis
Potential for increased property tax revenue for the city if developed; no direct cost to residents at this stage.
The property owner, hotel developer, potential visitors, and potentially some local businesses (retail, restaurants) within the hotel.
Adjacent residents (due to potential shadowing, increased density, and impact on neighborhood character), and residents seeking affordable or market-rate housing (due to lost opportunity for residential development).
