Liberty University dormitory housing — former Extended Stay hotel
Description
Liberty University asked to change the future land use map and rezone the 2.75-acre hotel site to institutional zoning so it can use the 102-room building as dorms for up to 204 beds, with no new construction or parking. The commission voted unanimously to recommend approval to City Council.
Impact summary
Adds up to 204 student beds without new construction, replacing rooms lost when North Point closed, while converting a commercially zoned property and removing it from the lodging tax base.
