A new 248-room casino hotel is on tonight’s Planning Commission meeting agenda.
The meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 9 at City Hall, 701 N. 7th St., Kansas City, Kan.
Byron Toy, Unified Government planning staff member, said a preliminary plan review will be presented for the 143,180-square-foot hotel at the Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway, 777 Hollywood Casino Blvd.
According to plans, the new eight-story hotel will be built near the casino. It will include an 18,179-square-foot ballroom. It would have banquet space for 400 persons.
Toy said the new ballroom and hotel are southwest of the casino. The ballroom will be attached to the casino, with the hotel on the other side of the ballroom.
Kansas Entertainment, which includes the speedway and the casino, is building the hotel. Yaeger Architecture Inc., of Overland Park is the architect, according to agenda information.
Toy said a construction timeline has not yet been announced. If the preliminary plan design is approved tonight, it would go to the full UG Commission for approval on Feb. 26. Then the final plan design would come back through the planning and full commission process for approval at a later date.
The hotel would be in the Bonner Springs School District and in the Kansas City, Kan., city limits, according to agenda information.
The building materials will include glass, stucco, stone and tile, according to the agenda documents. Toy said there will be a lot of windows in the new development, and he would expect the new hotel and ballroom to be similar to the casino in its look, although some of the details are not yet final.
