The Gale Hotel is seeking to add a rooftop addition. In order to incentivize the preservation of historic properties, I am asking that the Land Use and Sustainability Committee & Planning Board discuss narrowly amending the CD-3 zoning district to make rooftop additions like the one being contemplated in this instance, possible. Such an addition will allow this hotel to cater to a higher end clientele and service Convention Center visitors, which is a priority for the City.
The proposed amendment is attached for review.
