The lot at West Park Place, facing Columbus Park, is a remnant of 1960s urban renewal. The diner won a court battle over government attempts to take its property by eminent domain. Now ringed by tall buildings, it soon may have another one next door. The Stamford Zoning Board is considering a proposal from Tullamore LLC, an affiliate of Wellbuilt, a Greenwich company, to build a 10-story, 99-room extended-stay hotel at 0 West Park Place. A hotel can be built there only because the city recently eased parking requirements for downtown lots smaller than 25,000 square feet, as long as the lot is within 1,200 feet of a parking facility that is open 24 hours a day.
