The need for more affordable housing won out over concerns over a lack of parking as the Overland Park Planning Commission this week decided to move forward with rezoning the Cloverleaf Suites extended stay hotel to allow developers to remake it into a complex of studio and one-bedroom apartments. The hotel at 6300 W. 110th Street, near Interstate 435 and the Overland Park Convention Center, will be 30 parking spaces short of city requirements, but commissioners voted 7-3 to allow the rezoning because it could fill a need for affordable housing and because they could see no other solution.
