CUP 22-0005-Conditional Use Permit request for additional height in the Downtown Commercial DC zoning district at 310 Midtown Way (Tax Map No. 257-(A)-217) by Foresight Design Services (applicant) for Midtown Redevelopment Partners, LLC.
The Blacksburg Planning and Building Department has received a Conditional Use Permit request for additional height above 60 feet to a maximum of 73 feet on a 1.858 acre parcel in the Midtown development at 310 Midtown Way. The conditional use permit for additional height is for a proposed Embassy Suites hotel. A hotel is a by-right use in the Midtown development Downtown Commercial conditional zoning district and is proposed to be located on what is referenced as DC Parcel 6 and is bordered by Midtown Way, Church Street and Eheart Street. The height of the building is proposed to be a maximum of 73 feet which is greater than the maximum 60 feet of height permitted in the DC zoning district so a conditional use permit must be granted per §3141 (c) of the Blacksburg Zoning Ordinance.
