The Starkville planning and zoning commission Tuesday approved plats for a new hotel on Highway 12 and more than a half-dozen condominiums in the newly renovated Creamery at Central Station.
The seven-member planning commission unanimously recommended the city”s Board of Aldermen approve a plat for phase two of the Creamery at Central station project, which includes the renovation of the second floor of the former Borden milk plant for residential loft use. Developer Jeremy Tabor has transformed the old milk plant at Montgomery and Lampkin Street into a facility which already houses Central Station Grill, Boardtown Bikes, Something Southern and Central Station Mini Storage.
The second floor has been proposed to be subdivided into six two-story residential loft units and one single-story unit consisting of 4,443 square feet and a common area.
For the hotel project, the planning and zoning commission unanimously recommended aldermen approve a final commercial subdivision plant for a proposed La Quinta Inn & Suites on 2.97 acres at 982 Highway 12 E.
In other business, the developer of a proposed four-unit condominium project at 509 Russell Street with drew his preliminary condominium plat so that a variance application may be submitted to the city”s Board of Adjustments & Appeals regarding density. The .26-acre site is located on Russell Street, just west of Planters Row, but the R-5 multi-family, high-density zoning only allows a density of up to 15 dwelling units per acre. Four units on .26 acres is a density of 15.38 units per acre, which would require a variance.
The Board of Aldermen meets Feb. 15 at 5:30 p.m. in City Hall.
