1-year Review of SUP at 658 Rozier. Mr. Bova reported that the property remains in compliance with the terms of the SUP and the city has received no complaints about the property, thus it is meeting the required conditions. Commissioner Donovan asked if this was an annual review and Mr. Bova stated that it was not; it is just a single review after the first full year. No further action was necessary.
Recommendation of zoning for Petition for Annexation. The Ste. Genevieve Housing Authority has petitioned the city for voluntary annexation of PID#07-9.0-029-00-00-0042.00, which sits at the intersection of Mo. Highway 32 and Terrace Drive. Mr. Bova discussed the property, ordinance 405.030(C), and his recommendation that the property maintain “R-1” zoning upon annexation. There was some discussion about if any construction was expected upon the property and Mr. Bova stated there was not. He also stated that this parcel is one of several along Highway 32 that lie outside city limits and the city is working to annex. Alderman Prince made a Motion to Recommend maintaining the “R-1” zoning designation to the Board of Aldermen; Commissioner Donovan seconded the motion which passed 6-0-2.
REZ001-25. McBride Land Growth, LLC is requesting to rezone the 49.04 acre parcel located along the northern side of the 500-600 block of Progress Parkway (PID#07-8.0-033-00-000- 0003.23) from R-1 Single Family Residential to PUD R-2 Planned Urban Development. Mr. Bova presented the staff report containing the criteria for this designation and the conditions that McBride has met to receive this rezoning designation and his recommendation for approval of the PUD rezoning designation. McBride representatives, Katie Peroutka and Jeremy Roth were present. Ms. Peroutka delivered a presentation to the commission covering their request for designation as a PUD. The commission had discussion with the McBride representatives regarding proposed pricing, access to utilities, storm water containment, setbacks, street widths, green spaces and other potential neighborhood amenities, mine shafts on the property, and fire separation distances. Mr. Bova informed the commission that some of the specifics of the proposed development, including utility infrastructure specs and storm water calculations, will come before them in future meetings as McBride goes through the subdivision process. Commissioner Ewing made a Motion to Recommend approval of the rezoning to PUD R-2 to the Board of Aldermen; Alderman Prince seconded the motion which passed 6-0-2. Commissioner Roth noted that he was not in favor of the 5’ side setback but did vote in favor of the motion.
Adjournment: There being no further business, Alderman Prince made a Motion to Adjourn. Commissioner Donovan seconded the motion which passed 6-0-2, and the meeting was adjourned at approximately 6:45 pm.
Respectfully Submitted,
David Bova,
Assistant City Administrator
