Community Development Director Hutmacher introduced the item noting on August 16, 2016, the EDA
approved a sale and purchase agreement with JR Hospitality for the development of a Hilton Home 2
Suites Hotel on Lot 1, Block 1, Cedar Grove Parkway 4th Addition. The sale and purchase agreement for

Cedar Grove Parkway 4th Addition for the development of a second hotel. Hutmacher noted although
Kanda City Lodging, LLC is a new legal entity created for the development of Lot 2, the owners and
developers are the same as for the Hilton Home 2 Suites and have expressed interest in purchasing the
adjacent lot with similar terms of purchase as Lot 1. Because the legal ownership entity for Lot 2 will be
different than Lot 1, a waiver of the First Right of Refusal has been received.
Jay Bhakta, Representative for JR Hospitality, presented the concept plan.
The Council received the concept plan for development of a hotel on Lot 2, Block 1, Cedar Grove
Parkway 4th Addition and directed staff to negotiate a sale and purchase agreement with Kanda City
