City residents will get another chance to look at plans for a proposed five-story, 50-room hotel in Porter Square and ask questions of the architect and developer at a forum Wednesday, December 12, at the North Cambridge Senior Center.

Cambridge architect Michael McPhee and Meehn Su Gim, owner of the Kaya restaurant at 1924 Massachusetts Ave., will be on hand to discuss detailed plans and a traffic analysis for the hotel, which Gim wants to build on the Kaya site. The plans also call for a 210-seat restaurant and nightclub, a two-level underground parking garage for up to 50 cars and a pocket park on the rear of the property, adjacent to Porter Road.

The North Cambridge Stabilization Committee is sponsoring the forum. In November, McKee and Gim showed the plans to members of the Porter Square Neighbors Association, saying they are seeking variances from the city to waive certain height, setback, density and commercial use regulations for the site, which is partially zoned for residential development.

Gim is seeking to have the support of both neighborhood groups when he goes before the Board of Zoning Appeal on the variance application, tentatively scheduled for a public hearing on January 24.
