COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho — The public isn’t cleared to comment at an appeal hearing for the Marriott hotel planned at Sixth Street and Sherman Avenue, but that isn't final.
The Coeur d’Alene Planning and Zoning Commission on Tuesday voted 4-2 to recommend the city council approve changes to municipal code that would allow for comment at appeal hearings, but not for pending appeals.
Downtown resident Joan Woodard’s appeal of the Design Review Commission’s January decision approving the proposed six-story Marriott hotel is scheduled to be heard June 4.
Commissioner Lynn Fleming said she understood that people want to comment again at the appeal hearing, but said they already gave their input to the DRC.
“A second chance, I think that puts shade on that DRC,” Fleming said.
She said changing city codes to allow the public to comment all over again “draws this process out, and it costs those people money.”
“Sometimes, we don’t always win,” Fleming said.
