Developers are one step closer to converting an Overland Park hotel into a new multi-family apartment complex. Monday, the Overland Park Planning Commission voted 9-0 to approve a request to rezone 10610 Marty Street from a Planned Office Building District (CP-O) to a Planned High-Rise Apartment District (RP-6). The property currently houses a three-story La Quinta Inn & Suites that was built in 1987. Developers want to remodel the existing 143 hotel rooms into 121 studio units and 22 one-bedroom units. To be classified at an RP-6 District, the property must maintain one major amenity and three minor amenities. According to city documents, the major amenity will be the hotel’s existing swimming pool. The minor amenities will include an outdoor patio space, a gazebo and picnic area, two barbeque grills and a recreation area.
