w ? ?J that the primary use was to have been office, and that the code was actually amended to include retail in the Nlviced Use District, but only on the condition that the planniug commission find that the retail use is to be integrated into the overall development. He did not believe it would not be appropriate to have retail use predominate over the office use. Mr. Manning asked what the difference would be in the tax base between office use and hotel use, taking the bed tax into consideration. Since the Corporate Center had to down size from the original plans because of the glut of office space, he is concerned that this will never be developed as office. Mr. Brennan would like the city to attract an office facility similar to Moen, he would hate to see a minimum wage facility when the city might be able to have an office facility. Mr. Corsi stated that currently the Radission and the Hampton Inn are experience over 85% occupancy and there has to be enough hotels to support the businesses that are here now. Mr. Manniug believed that the more development there would be in Cleveland, the more demand there would be for hotel space in North Olmsted because of its location. If that is the case, Mr. Conway suggested that this be rezoned to General Retail and he pointed out that if there would be notlung but restaurants and hotels, on the parcel, it is not Miaced Use. Mr. Tallon stated that in the original plan for this entire area, there were probably about 12 office buildings, which would not be feasible now. He had no problem with adding the Courtyard since there could still be three office buildings. Mr. Herbster suggested that the commission vote on the one parcel, and keep the options open on the others. Mr. Tallon agreed and stated that if they have another hotel in mind for the next parcel, he would suggest that the developer present an overview plan of the entire area including the curb cuts on the property across the streets. There were residents present, but they did not choose to speak when asked. T. Herbster moved to amend the preliuunary land use plan for Biskind Development Company, Parcel `B", property located west of Columbia Road and east of Grreat Northern Boulevard, between Country Club and 1480 to permit the Marriott Courtyard to go onto that site. The motion was seconded by R. Tallon, and unanimously approved. ' N. NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND SUBDNISIONS: No items. V. COMMUNICATIONS: No items. VI.
