O'Fallon Rezones Site on Sommers Road and Hwy. DD to Single-Family

The site is currently under contract to Lombardo Homes.

After a nod from P&Z, the O'Fallon City Council has passed an ordinance to rezone a parcel of land on the northwest corner of Highway DD and Sommers Road. The parcel, previously zoned General Business District and Apartment House District, was rezoned to Single Family Residential at the Council's Feb. 28 regular meeting. The Planning and Zoning Commission stated that the rezoning would "reduce the density of development that could occur." The site, which is surrounded by a mix of residential and institutional uses, shouldn't be negatively impacted by the change, the commission reported. The land, currently owned by J&D Investment Group, is under contract to Lombardo Homes. Around St. Charles County, Lombardo Homes subdivisions include

St. Louis RV Sales and GMT Auto Sales plans to display more RVs on the site.

Representatives from the store requested to withdraw the applications for the conditional use permit, site plan and rezoning for the project at the end of November.

Lake Saint Louis would also maintain Orf Road and Old Highway N, roads that would service the retail development.  According to the O'Fallon Planning and Zoning Commission meeting agenda packet, representatives from the store requested to …

CVS Pharmacy to Purchase Land On Highway K

The O’Fallon Planning and Zoning Commission approved a request for a preliminary plat on March 1.

A new pharmacy is headed to the City of O’Fallon.  O’Fallon Director of Public Relations Tom Drabelle said CVS Pharmacy is purchasing land at the southeast corner of the intersection of Highway K and Highway N. The company has proposed tearing down the Mobile On the Run to build the drugstore. Earlier in March, the O’Fallon Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing and approved the request for a preliminary plat for 3002 Highway K. This allows the existing land, which is owned by Arch Energy, to be subdivided into two lots. Drabelle said the land would be divided into two lots because a cell phone tower sits on the property.

Zoning Commission Approves Dierbergs Outdoor Barbecue Smoker, Cell Tower Expansions

The Chesterfield-based grocer's new O'Fallon installation should be complete later this year.

A new outdoor barbecue smoker at Dierbergs’ Deer Creek Center location prompted discussion at Thursday's planning and zoning commission meeting. Dierbergs Vice President and General Counsel Sarah Siegel asked the commission to extend the duration of approval for its site plan to a full year in light of the “significant investment” her company is making. She said the new installation will cost between $15,000 and $20,000, and the grocery chain will hire one full-time and one part-time associate to manage it. The smoker will be built on a trailer behind fencing and will remain at the 2979 Highway K location at all times. The smokers have already been installed at several area Dierbergs, and the company eventually hopes to have one at every …

Changes Recommended for O'Fallon Title IV Land Use, Zoning Codes

Recommended changes include transferable conditional use permits and changes to code definitions.

O’Fallon’s Planning and Zoning Commission approved a recommendation for changes to the city’s Title IV land use and zoning code at its regular Thursday night session. If the City Council approves the commission’s recommendations, conditional use permits would then be transferable when a business owner sells his or her business, said David Woods, O’Fallon’s director of planning and development. City administrators will still go over the requirements of each permit when the transfer is made, but the move cuts down on red tape by omitting a second application process for the same business, said Woods. Other changes would include the way the city classifies and defines certain businesses. Pet grooming services would be separate from pet …
