Plans to convert a former extended stay hotel into a 131-unit apartment development have received approval to move forward.
At a Feb. 12 meeting, Richardson City Council approved a modification to the minimum unit size—the final sticking point for the project’s approval—of a previously approved 5.2-acre planned development that will allow the former Hyatt House property to be converted for studio and one-bedroom multifamily use.
“With this particular development, the applicant inherited those unit sizes. ... Even in the same unit type, those square footages vary,” Director of Development Services Samuel Chavez said at the meeting.
