The Fountain Hills Town Council has a full plate during its Nov. 17 meeting, with the Fountain Park Hotel seeking the transition of its top floor to add residential units and the continued discussion of automated license plate reading cameras leading the agenda.
The hotel was denied a rezone by the Planning and Zoning Commission that would allow 46 residential units to its top floor in October, as the commission and some residents shared concerns over the mix of guests and long-term residents as well as lack of marketing.
The hotel began remodeling in 2023, but due to a discrepancy in the zoning, construction was halted. Later that year, the commission also denied a special use permit to transform all 90 rooms to residential.
