The City of St. Louis Board of Public Service held a public meeting on September 15, 2026, which included a hearing to consider revoking the conditional use permit (number 128177) issued to Barnes Landscaping Co. The hearing focused on violations of permit conditions related to the operation of a landscaping business in a residential zoning district, including unauthorized commercial vehicle parking, traffic generation, and storage of materials and equipment on public streets. Testimonies from zoning officials and residents detailed ongoing violations despite prior warnings and citations. After hearing from the permit holder and community members, the board voted unanimously to revoke the conditional use permit. The meeting also covered several procurement-related items, including approval of plans and specifications for the Union Lindle Bridge reconstruction project with an estimated cost of $26.8 million, supplemental agreements for traffic management and materials testing at St. Louis Lambert International Airport, and emergency procurement for equipment installation at a water treatment plant. Additionally, the board approved multiple conditional use applications and special event permits. Motions to approve meeting minutes and agenda items were also passed without opposition.
