BURBANK , The City Council voted Tuesday to approve the expansion of Hotel Amarano despite complaints by several residents about a lack of parking in the construction plans. The vote passed 4 to 1, with Councilman David Gordon casting the dissenting vote. The new addition will include the construction of a four-story building that will have 32 guest rooms, a fitness center as well as a one-bedroom guest suite with a private outdoor courtyard and patio, said Michael Hastings, principal of Direct Point Advisors, a firm that is helping the hotel owner file the entitlement.
