The developer, DCD Capital LLC of Bound Brook, New Jersey, plans to come before the Bristol Township Zoning Hearing Board in December to request variances for the plan, according to officials.
The developer has proposed the hotel, fast food restaurant, automotive repair shop, and a mini-warehouse for 3113 and 3105 Veterans Highway, which sit next to the intersection with Bath Road and Durham Road. The properties are vacant and were once home to the former O’Connor Freightliner location.
According to a township document, the developer aims to also use the neighboring Stadium Bar and Grille property.

No tenants are listed for the development.
The developer plans to seek exceptions to the township’s ordinances for mini-warehouses, wetlands, off-street loading, and setbacks.

The total site for the proposed development is just under 12.5 acres. It has easy access to local roads, I-95, the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and Route 13.
The old O’Connor Freightliner has been vacant for years. The building, which was torn down, opened in 1975 and is 31,000-square-feet.
For years, Bristol Township has worked to spruce up the Veterans Highway corridor and teamed with the state to improve the roadway infrastructure a over the past 20 years. Much of the section is part of a town center overlay designed to improve the area.

In 2016, Maryland-based convenience store chain Royal Farms has planned to build a location at the site. The plans were put on hold in 2017 and the company walked away from the site.
