A plan to convert a former motel on N. Washington Street into a multifamily building and a townhouse is heading to the Planning Commission early next month.
Maryland-based PT Blooms is asking the city to approve plans to redevelop the property at 802 and 808 N. Washington Street into The Whitley — Phase 2, a 48-unit building with one-to-three bedroom condos. That’s the former Old Towne Motel property, which has been closed for years.
According to the application:
The Applicant seeks to convert the approved and partially-constructed 98-room hotel to a 48 unit multifamily building. The hotel was approved by City Council in 2016 through DSUP #2015-0004. The Applicant also proposes the retention of the historic townhouse. The building height varies and extends up to 50 feet at its highest point. The proposed development is generally compatible with the OTN SAP and the existing surrounding neighborhood. A concurrent rezoning to the CRMU-X zone is requested along with SUPs for bonus density for affordable housing and a parking reduction. Encroachments for building, stoops and balconies are also requested.
