York County:
“The Marquis at Williamsburg in Upper York County could soon
have a 100-room hotel. The York County Board of Supervisors will consider
Tuesday whether to amend the conditions of a previously approved special-use
permit, which would allow the construction of the hotel to move forward. The
board originally approved the construction of a 71,000-square-foot hotel at the
site in 2007. The new proposal seeks an 85,000-square-foot hotel.
The hotel is the latest development for the once-stalled
shopping center, located off Route 199 near Water Country USA. The Marquis is
split into two pods — the north pod has five stores already in place and will
receive an additional 200,000 square feet of commercial space, while
development of 650 residential units in the south pod, which is currently
undeveloped, was recently OK’d by the supervisors. Because the hotel would lead
to an increase in floor area at the site between 5 percent and 25 percent, a
public hearing is not necessary for the proposal. The supervisors will consider
it under new business at their Tuesday meeting.”
