The Stockbridge City Council voted unanimously at its Oct. 14 regular meeting to approve a rezoning and pave the way for what is expected to be a new Holiday Inn Express hotel.
The rezoning from C-2 (general commercial) to C-3 (heavy commercial district) is for a 1.268-acre site on Country Club Drive. According to a city staff report, the applicant proposes to develop a five-story hotel with 77 rooms along with an outdoor pool, indoor fitness center, business center and small conference center for private business meetings. The applicant wants to develop the hotel primarily to serve his own needs, according to the report, because the company hosts numerous educational seminars and training sessions for health care representatives in the adjacent medical building to the west, at 160 Country Club Drive.
The request was carried over from the council’s September meeting agenda. No one in the audience spoke in opposition to the project.
