The Planning Commission voted 9-1 to postpone a hearing on a proposed development of a three-story, 168-room hotel, to be called “305 W. MLK – Home2” on Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, to May 27th, in response to a request from neighbors concerned about traffic and pedestrian safety to postpone the hearing to a later date of June 10. Ron Thrower, speaking as an agent on behalf of the developer, said he believed they were “tertiary” to the case and that neighbors’ issues would be best taken up with the city, but that the developer was open to a dialogue with the neighbors.
