At the City Manager and City Council’s request, the City of Batavia Planning and Development Committee unanimously agreed to change the zoning at 200 Oak Street, the former Days Inn Hotel, from a C-2(General Commercial District) to a P5(Planned Development District), which includes mixed use and residential development. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Committee also agreed to the guideline requirements.(listed below). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The P-5 district requires that no less than 15% of the land area shall be maintained as open space, lot coverage cannot be more than 50%, buildings shall not be taller than 40 feet, a 40-foot distance between residential dwellings. Also, the public storage facility must be located a minimum of 100 feet from any residential zoning use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In her letter to City Council, dated September 16, 2025, requesting the zoning change, City Manager Rachael Tabelski said, “I believe that this project will help transform this nonperforming parcel that has historically been problematic to City Police, Fire and DPW, into a mixed-use development and add a welcomed change to the adjoining neighborhood.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The property was abandoned in late 2022. Link to story: BATAVIA\/Owner of two hotels leaves the country and turns off utilities \u2013 Video News Service<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Planning and Development Committee will now wait for the process to move forward through the ZBA. Their meeting is this Thursday at 6:00p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, the Committee will look for a site plan review from Rudra Management and Jayesh Patel, which calls for a transformation of the neighborhood, bringing in more green space, market rate townhomes, and small-scale retail. Patel plans to convert the vacant hotel into an indoor climate-controlled self-storage facility. There are also plans to demolish the front portion of the existing hotel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next Planning and Development Committee meeting is November 18, 2025, at 6:00p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
