Property owner Nader Agha has approached the City about reviving plans for a hotel on the site of the existing Holman Building, and the City Council has also revived the Holman Hotel subcommittee in response.
The subcommittee, consisting of Mayor Bill Kampe and Councilmember Alan Cohen, had been created in 2009 and eventually produced a written report describing benefits of the hotel. The report also described some of the major considerations for advancing a hotel project on the site. The subcommittee had since been left dormant. The proposal for the building failed as a ballot measure which would have significantly changed certain zoning requirements.
