Please Help Us Petition to Say "NO" to an Oversized, Out-of-Scale New Hotel at 621 Elysian Fields Avenue

The applicants are requesting at least a 50% height waiver (from a maximum of 50 feet to 75 plus feet) and almost a 50% increase in the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 2.1 to 3.1.

This would make the new hotel the largest building in the Marigny at almost 93,000 sq. ft., and the tallest building on the entirety of Elysian Fields Avenue, from the Mississippi River to Lake Pontchartrain
