This item concerns an application to amend Specific Use Permit (SUP) 2586 for a hotel or motel use in the CA-1(A) Central Area District at the south line of Main Street, east of South Pearl Expy. The original SUP, approved on April 4, 2025, limited the hotel to 25 guest rooms and prohibited outdoor amplified sound. The applicant, SOVA Hospitality, LLC, is requesting to increase the maximum number of guest rooms to 60. The proposed hotel would be located in an existing office building built in 1958, which the applicant plans to remodel and add a third floor to. Staff recommends approval of the amendment, subject to amended conditions, finding the proposed use compatible with surrounding uses and consistent with the Forward Dallas 2.0 comprehensive plan and the Downtown Dallas 360 Plan's Main Street District.
