The Rehoboth Beach Planning Commission has approved a minor amendment to the One Rehoboth Project. The amendment changes the original parking plan from a 2-level to a one-level underground garage. Officials say the applicant did this to provide more distance between the new structure and the Admiral Hotel, which is next door on Baltimore Avenue. The change will require a lift system to accommodate the same number of parked cars. Demolition is expected to resume soon.  In the meantime, fencing will go up as early as next week and will cover a portion of the Boardwalk between Rehoboth and Baltimore Avenues, and a small portion of the sidewalk on Rehoboth Avenue in front of the site and Kohr Bros., as well as a small portion of the parking area on the north side of Rehoboth Avenue, by the boardwalk.

“The Planning Commission is pleased to have approved the amendment to the approved site plan,” says Planning Commissioner Chair Mike Bryan. “Originally heard at the Commission’s October 24 meeting, we deferred the vote, because the Applicant made adjustments to the plans. The additional time allowed the City, the Commission, and the public an opportunity to review the updated plans to ensure code compliance.”

The commercial building, situated on the boardwalk between Rehoboth and Baltimore Avenues, will encompass four above-ground stories, three to be utilized as a hotel and the bottom floor as retail and restaurant space, as well as underground parking. The hotel will have 60 rooms.

The owner-applicant for this project is One Rehoboth Avenue LLC, a partnership between Grotto Pizza and Onix Group, a Pennsylvania-based real estate development company. The original plan for the hotel was approved in January 2025.
