Red Deer’s Quality Inn hotel considering converting rooms into residential units
The Quality Inn & Conference Centre is considering turning some of their rooms into residential dwellings.
Red Deer city council approved first reading at Monday’s meeting for the rezoning of the property on 7150 50 Ave. from a Major Arterial District (C4 Commercial) into the Mixed Use District (C5 Commercial).
The 114 room hotel is located in the Normandeau neighborhood. According to administration, the applicant has already stated if the proposed land use bylaw amendment were to be approved, they may then submit a request for a development permit to convert some or all of the hotel rooms into multi-family style dwelling units.
The surrounding area is already a mix of low density residential and commercial uses such as dental offices, restaurants, and a public utility natural area.
