TO THE PLANNED-COMMERCIAL(P-C)PLAN TO ALLOW
THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MOTEL AT 2609 ELWOOD DRIVE

WHEREAS,this is a request to approve the construction of a three-story,75-unit motel in combination with
a one-story convention center on Lots 5 and 6,Oakwood Second Addition,at 2609 Elwood Drive; and,
WHEREAS, the original C-5 Plan(which preceded P-C Plans) for the subject property was approved on

7; and,
WHEREAS,the developer is also requesting to modify the list of impermissible uses approved as part of the
C-5,which originally included hotel/motel and a gasoline service station; and,
WHEREAS, given the land use changes that have occurred on surrounding properties during the past 20
years,staff believes that the approved P-C Plan should be amended to allow the construction of a motel/convention
center on the subject property as this type of use is compatible with the surrounding development and will
accommodate the clients of businesses in the ISU Research Park; and,

1999,and its approval was recommended; and,
