It should be noted that the Developer (Titan) held a facilitated meeting with the Nob Hill Neighborhood Association last year, which I attended along with Gary and only a few others. The notice for that meeting was sent out to everyone on this listserv. A facilitated meeting with the developer, with a City-approved facilitator present to take notes and communicate the neighborhood's concerns to the City, is the appropriate venue to express concerns about an upcoming development's impact on the neighborhood. PS - if I recall correctly, no one who attended that call was concerned about traffic; only one person was concerned about parking.
A hotel with 110 rooms does not mean that 110 vehicles will be on the road all at the same time. The surrounding roadways (Girard, Carlisle, Central, Lead/Coal, and Lomas) have more than adequate capacity to handle new trips generated to and from the destination. We are not nearing capacity anytime soon on those roadways. If 110 new cars per day broke our roads, we would have a much bigger problem.
It's very likely that the guests of this future hotel are interested in staying in a walkable neighborhood, so they will hopefully walk and frequent the great restaurants, bars, and retail locations available to them in our vibrant neighborhood.
More hotel rooms = more paying customers = more opportunities for business = less vacant storefronts. I believe that last point is something everyone on this listserv has expressed as a shared goal for Nob Hill!
I'm personally excited for this project and am glad we are seeing infill development on a formerly dilapidated property (where a meth lab exploded back in 2019).
Have a good evening everyone!
