Planning & Design

The Plan Commission recommended a Clayton High School CTE addition and removed a 507 Hanley sign overlay; sitting as the ARB, it sent the building's new sign back for a redesign.

The board approved a residential addition at 221 Brighton Way, held over from May 18, after the owner swapped vinyl for cement fiber siding to meet Clayton Gardens design rules.

The board sent a 221 Brighton Way addition back for a non-vinyl redesign and declined a 950 Francis Place wall sign it read as advertising rather than wayfinding.

The board declined a highway-facing sign for Impact Strategies at 121 Hunter Avenue, agreeing with staff it's advertising — not the wayfinding Clayton's sign code allows.

The commission recommended that the City Council approve a conditional use permit for Gigi's Cafe to open a restaurant at 7645 Wydown Boulevard, the former Starbucks corner.

The Plan Commission voted unanimously to recommend a single conditional use permit for Washington University's former Fontbonne campus at 6800 Wydown Boulevard, with bed-cap and dark-sky conditions.

Back from the board's March 2 meeting with the fence set back farther and the gas lanterns gone, the 141 North Brentwood fencing plan won staff support and unanimous approval.

The commission unanimously approved a boundary-adjustment plat for St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church, shifting a shared parking lot to the church's parcel before it sells the house lot next door.

The Plan Commission approved the site plan for a new Washington University residence hall on the South 40, with the design board signing off on the building the same night — both votes unanimous.

After an identical plat lapsed for missing its filing deadline, the commission again recommended that the City Council approve consolidating two lots at 500 South Hanley Road.
