Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting 09/03/26| O'Fallon, Missouri

The September 3, 2026 O’Fallon Planning & Zoning Commission meeting considered several site plans and land-use matters; no procurement activity, contract awards, or purchasing decisions were identified. The commission approved the site plan for Knight International’s 917-square-foot garage addition at 405 East Elm Street, subject to staff recommendations. It also considered a building addition at 18 North Central Avenue, with the applicant agreeing to the code requirement that the front elevation be no more than 75% metal and confirming that no exterior mechanical equipment was planned. The commission tabled the 708 Caledonia Drive Dobbs Tire and Auto items and the Blue Ridge subdivision rezoning and area plan until October 1. Blue Ridge’s revised plan had not been reviewed by staff, and commissioners and residents raised concerns about grading and fill, traffic, drainage, creek erosion, utilities, and site-plan compliance.

The commission also considered a code amendment removing commercial recreation as a permitted use in high-tech zoning districts, following a previous change concerning industrial districts; the motion was to approve staff recommendations, with the item expected to go to City Council. The consent calendar included a stormwater management and best management practices facilities maintenance agreement for Enclave at Brook Hollow. In its council update, the commission heard that Caballo Farms’ final plan had been approved, while a senior-overlay conditional use permit at 1131 Governors Run had been denied at Council.
