CHAPEL HILL – Members of the public will have a chance to weigh in on a plan to build a hotel at Southern Village when the Chapel Hill Town Council meets Monday.

The proposed five-story, 112 room hotel would be on four acres on the edge of the mixed-use development, along 15-501 across from Strata Solar. A future phase could include a new apartment building.

An earlier plan to build a hotel in the middle of Market Street on the site of a current parking lot was put on pause in 2009 after Southern Village residents objected to the idea.

The public will also have a chance to respond to a plan to reduce the minimum lot acreage for new apartment complexes from five acres to two.

The public hearing starts at 7:00 p.m. in the Southern Human Services Center on Homestead Road.
