The Downtown Development Review Board said a proposed Home2 Suites by Hilton in Brooklyn can have a surface parking lot despite its staff’s objection that it conflicts with the area’s design code.
The board voted 6-0 May 13 to grant final design approval for the six-story, 100-room hotel at 600 Park St. a joint project of Kelco Management and Development Inc. and Corner Lot Development Group.
Driver, McAfee, Hawthorne & Diebenow attorney Cyndy Trimmer, who represents Kelco and Corner Lot, said the structured parking garage required by the Downtown Zoning Overlay would not be feasible or financially viable for the 10,720-square-foot hotel layout.
