The Gwendolyn Hotel Project includes three Historic Landmarks Applications and one Downtown Design Review application: HL 6-22, HL 7-22, HL 8-22, and DDR 2-22. 

The project proposes a new hotel on Third Street that will include the demolition of three historic structures: 609, 611, and 619 NE Third Street.

The Historic Landmarks Committee denied all four land-use applications, and the applicant appealed those decisions to the Planning Commission.  The Planning Commission approved all four land-use applications, and those decisions have now been appealed to the McMinnville City Council.
