Good afternoon Steve. Per our recent conversation, this email shall
serve as the City of Cape Canaveral’s request for consideration by the
Technical Advisory Committee for the Merritt Island/North Beaches
Benefit District, to favorably recommend the reallocation of Brevard
County Transportation Impact Fees to the W. Central Boulevard/Thurm
Boulevard Complete Streets Project. This request is being prompted by
several hotel projects occurring in the City.
Revenues from Proposed Hotel Projects
There are three hotel projects, representing 525 rooms, that are
currently moving through the City’s development approval process. These
include:
* Dual Branded Hotel (116 room Hampton and 108 room Home2)
located at 9004 Astronaut Boulevard; and
* Springhill Suites (301 rooms) located at 8701 Astronaut
Boulevard behind the existing Radisson Hotel.
Given the current County Transportation Impact Fee amount of
$2,735/room, the listed hotel projects will generate $1.435 million.
