Developers behind a La Quinta Inn near the Boise Airport face a key public hearing before the Boise Planning & Zoning Commission tonight. The developers' plans call for a 78-room, four-story hotel on West Elder Street, just north of Interstate 84 and west of South Vista Avenue, on a vacant three-acre parcel.
Owners Una Mas LLC and Hement Khatri, of Modesto, Calif., are seeking a conditional use permit to build the 56-foot hotel above the city's 45-foot height requirement as well as a variance to post three 49-square-foot signs.
City planning staff have recommended approval of the hotel, though with only 72 rooms because of traffic concerns.
A staff report says the proposed hotel would complement Boise's comprehensive plan, which encourages airport-related accessory uses near the Vista interchange. Elder Street already houses two other hotels, a Cambria Suites and a Hampton Inn.
