A pair of four-story hotels, one with a rooftop pool, were supposed to break ground in Peoria three years ago. Now, city officials are paving the way to turn the site into nearly 200 apartments.
While plans for hotels on the southwest corner of 75th Avenue and Paradise Lane in the P83 dining and entertainment district fell apart, the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission on Thursday unanimously voted to recommend that the City Council rezone the property.
Rezoning would pave the way for the five-story, 195-unit apartment building dubbed Converge at P83. The building is planned to have 2,000 square feet of retail space and rental rates from $1,900 to $2,200 per month.
The rezoning will need City Council approval.
City officials touted the plans as a a crucial step to provide housing for future employees of Peoria’s massive Stadium Point project, which is planned just a hop, skip and a jump away next to the Peoria Sports Complex, where the Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres play spring training baseball.
