The recommendation followed a presentation from the city’s community development staff. “So again, this is a rezoning for 6004 Old Collinsville Road. This is a planned use submittal,” said Abby, the community development coordinator. Abby said the parcel currently is paved and vacant and that the proposed building would produce a floor-area ratio of about 0.26 on the 25,264.8-square-foot lot, well under the 0.75 FAR allowed in general commercial zoning.

Why it matters: the parcel had been reserved as Outlot A in the Pinewood Village subdivision but retained an MR-1P multifamily zoning designation when surrounding residential development was built. Converting the parcel to B-1 P would align zoning with the developer’s intent and allow commercial tenants to locate at a major intersection, staff said.

Committee discussion and conditions: Committee members asked whether prospective tenants were identified; Abby said none had been secured. Staff recommended approval with conditions requiring compliance with B-1 bulk and area regulations; a six-foot vinyl privacy fence along the east side abutting multifamily residential; photometric, landscaping and signage plans that meet city code; and adherence to the City of O’Fallon commercial design guidelines. Abby noted the preliminary site plan currently shows one ADA stall but “this will need to reflect two in the future.”

The planning commission had previously approved the matter unanimously before the committee review. Jessica Lotz, representative from Ward 2 and chair of the Community Development Committee, summarized the parcel’s history: “When this was originally approved, this lot was part of the bigger residential subdivision,” and said the owner previously indicated an intent to convert the outlot to commercial.

Formal action: A motion to recommend approval carried on a roll call vote and will be placed on the full City Council agenda. Roll call as recorded in committee: Lots (yes); Roach (affirmative); Rosenberg (affirmative); Parchment (yes); Mylart (yes); Campbell (yes). That recommendation is advisory; full council will take final action.

Details to note: required parking was listed as 27 standard spaces and two ADA spaces; site access will be from Old Collinsville Road; utilities will be provided by the City of O’Fallon (water) and Caseyville Township (sanitary sewer); a dumpster enclosure, monument sign and final landscaping plan will be required as part of later submittals.

Next steps: The committee’s advisory approval and future land-use amendment will go to full City Council along with final design submittals for staff review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Committee Meetings - July 14, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Community Development Committee recommended that the City Council rezone a 0.58-acre parcel at 6004 Old Collinsville Road from multifamily to planned community business to allow a proposed 6,640-square-foot commercial building.","taxTitle","O'Fallon City, St. Clair County, Illinois","taxId",52736,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6168867,"Public Safety Committee approves SRO agreement with OTHS, adds second SRO through reallocation",265,2463000,2728000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5406659-4def591304ec135dd8527ee83082fe75&start=2463&end=2728","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5406659-4def591304ec135dd8527ee83082fe75/thumbnail_2463000.jpg","/articles/6168867/OFallon-City/St-Clair-County/Illinois/Public-Safety-Committee-approves-SRO-agreement-with-OTHS-adds-second-SRO-through-reallocation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168867-1f44db16bee24f9b516f18cb21883fc3/orig.mp4?Expires=1775365259&Signature=Yf~FnMgZpf61Eajg998qR1TzhG4jZM-UNozSfsGgZWAy3DWIAgCF0CAnJGTac~74oaYdLb-3V~JY-N14MSLlfnIvImPG7jePEixEzVNT9L3RRTdvyZSDBEUiZ-wDrhzaZrrI37FBjWKL9dkqfTZpJNMEm68ooP2ecs-7dj~YBByqDJO92-cRih9Wyy3wo~H9B1Pp~ej04fWXSx7lXdyRT1i0WRkHdj-WZSTqqemVaXJ6eR2fcnzG8LewPkv3vUsugH8BLdEf9aVvZuSw5Zh-Ieulx0jAzepZxenHeA7S27s5ZHLGw6YT~l~rTe2~3rG6irqHK89c-wajRQVmrHHnMg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Public Safety Committee approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to enter an intergovernmental agreement with OTHS for a school resource officer (SRO) and approved a staffing adjustment that reallocates an existing city patrol officer to SRO duties, creating a second SRO position that staff said will spend a significant portion of time at the Millburn campus.

The police chief explained the change as an internal reallocation rather than the hiring of an additional officer: “This is not an additional officer. This is just a reallocation of 1 of our 50 officers that we're allocated for,” the chief said. The chief said the department has asked the school district to add $10,000 a year to help cover costs related to the second SRO, and staff indicated that additional funds would be used toward purchasing a second SRO vehicle.

Under the existing practice described by staff, the school pays 75 percent of an officer’s base salary (step 2) for the SRO. Staff clarified that the downtown SRO model and other intergovernmental arrangements remain subject to operational needs and that, in exigent circumstances, an SRO can be reassigned to a city patrol call.

The committee took a roll call and recorded unanimous approval among members present. Council members on record in the committee included Blackburn, Mylar, Ford, Stoffel and Newcomb.

Next steps: The resolution will proceed to full City Council for final authorization as required; staff said vehicle procurement and budget adjustments for the new allocation will be handled through existing purchasing and budget processes.","The Public Safety Committee authorized the mayor to enter an agreement with OTHS to continue a school resource officer (SRO) arrangement and to reallocate an existing officer to create a second SRO position that will primarily serve the Millburn campus; the agreement is pay-as-you-go and the city emphasized the officer remains a city employee.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6168871,"Community Development reports 124 building permits and 725 code enforcement actions in June; U-Haul plan to go to planning commission Aug. 12",164,2012000,2176000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5406659-4def591304ec135dd8527ee83082fe75&start=2012&end=2176","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5406659-4def591304ec135dd8527ee83082fe75/thumbnail_2012000.jpg","/articles/6168871/OFallon-City/St-Clair-County/Illinois/Community-Development-reports-124-building-permits-and-725-code-enforcement-actions-in-June-U-Haul-plan-to-go-to-planning-commission-Aug-12","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168871-300a63802e74f1d2f4262c2648cd374f/orig.mp4?Expires=1775365259&Signature=Cm5fojNdwTy7o~HgV-zFoe-HXykxz2HINsOOaOBcwoL9zCMGqtXa~2~iZ-0tPb6PU0EZkL8flg5cFED9ixkljOLqgBgcoo~LuddmQSceeAXY8vI4YvILRnpZhQRBgfxnQg69lU0Sr92yKHLnPQjWMMHaPbLO5d-T0LWZbVc02gxaWY9yPZPFo5e6O46bfXQWc~cqb5ifXyhMwEBKU7M6M~pTemNUps0DvQTQpv1A3f74dl~pgi3sJj-6ax0wBVZisqluFcAHT9nZx~h83eXW8d3jkdF5wrm9dE2u04atmgQej86eXI44jAtoQcclDCB5lsFpgjf3ZNGJH0MPBMEvmw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City Community Development staff told the committee that in June the department issued 124 building permits with a total construction value of roughly $6.7 million and completed 681 building inspections. Staff also reported 725 code-enforcement actions in June and said the average time to abate a complaint was 15.86 days.

Abby, the community development coordinator, summarized notable submittals and ongoing projects. She said the department received a plan-of-use submittal from AmeriCo Real Estate Company for a U-Haul Moving and Storage Center at 1404 West Highway 50, a 7.5-acre redevelopment of the former RP Lumber site that would include retail, truck and trailer rental and indoor self-storage; that project is scheduled for planning commission review on Aug. 12.

Other project updates included ongoing construction at Brandywine Garden Villas (three occupancy permits issued), tenant finish work at a Spring Hill Suites by Marriott project where the developer has requested a special business district to fund costs via a 1% additional hotel-room sales tax within the development, and recent in-house site approvals for St. Elizabeth’s Medical Office Building and Surgery Treatment Center, Park Place, Q-Storage and Bethel Grove Subdivision. Staff also noted a traffic plan for Park Place remains under review by IDOT.

Staff reiterated that the city had received social-media attention about an article saying Meyer acquired the Shops at Pierce; as of July 11, the city had not received an application to modify the approved plan for that property.

No formal committee actions were recorded on these informational updates; the items were presented for committee awareness and tracking.","City staff reported 124 building permits in June with a construction value of about $6.7 million, 725 code-enforcement actions, and a U-Haul Moving and Storage Center plan submitted for 1404 West Highway 50 scheduled for the Aug. 12 planning commission meeting.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6168876,"Committee recommends planned-use amendment and redevelopment agreement for Full Circle Automotive; TIF rebate described as pay-as-you-go",860,1138000,1998000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5406659-4def591304ec135dd8527ee83082fe75&start=1138&end=1998","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5406659-4def591304ec135dd8527ee83082fe75/thumbnail_1138000.jpg","/articles/6168876/OFallon-City/St-Clair-County/Illinois/Committee-recommends-planned-use-amendment-and-redevelopment-agreement-for-Full-Circle-Automotive-TIF-rebate-described-as-pay-as-you-go","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6168876-23b07337a3d5a25b073715f311de88c5/orig.mp4?Expires=1775365259&Signature=REyQzXuz~GQA-I73~HQ4MfLL4uTlIYxbIuDDj3oHqXxMoKhGH2ZQLcUhJx43ubbxjM6UI2MGM53~48Xo879zB08R7U9ODI80fVKdT82ScHC2SljwH2gMpm6DVpeQ0EyL1Ty2HtITNJIS9VMCWHgaUVJou~IQmY3Ery~qQ4x-v~EUWItEGuFpfMtcolrPnRKXiHBGA-EqNqC6uVUeaeMFpO6Hh6yreBb60Zz3B3xRV1k6HwfWqpEpSaDiA4RwoAWvbBX6cFggOnqRQR1pw6RWKIiH4qr4VB9~Ump2dmjhvDRp005lyW9N1fr-X8bEB2ze-WzT6tz9XUVTEgc83nyayg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Community Development Committee recommended that the City Council consider a planned-use amendment and a redevelopment agreement with Full Circle Automotive for property at 510 South Lincoln Avenue, including eligibility for certain expenses through the Central City tax increment financing (TIF) district.

Abby, the community development coordinator, described the request as an expansion and remodel of an existing B-1 P site to add service bays and interior work. “This is a 6,599 square foot commercial building,” she said, and noted the project includes two entrances on South Lincoln Avenue, 27 parking spaces and two ADA-accessible spaces to meet city requirements.

Residents and council members asked about noise, lighting and drainage. One council member raised concerns about water runoff to the property behind the site and asked about grading and repaving; Abby said final construction documents and the city engineer will address sheet flow and grading. Abby also said a cargo container and outdoor storage currently on the site must be removed as part of the expansion.

Staff recommended approval with conditions that mirror earlier planned-use conditions from Feb. 2007: outdoor storage and derelict vehicles are prohibited; no fuel dispensing on site; automotive service and repair permitted except fuel sales. For site plan compliance, staff said the applicant must present photometric, landscaping and dumpster-enclosure plans that meet city code and the City of O’Fallon commercial design guidelines.

On the redevelopment agreement: staff explained the downtown TIF is a pay-as-you-go program that reimburses eligible redevelopment expenses from tax increments generated after improvements increase assessed value. Abby said the TIF will not pay for new construction and emphasized that reimbursements only occur if increment is created; if the county-assessed value does not increase, there will be no rebate. The packet included a list of eligible expenses and an amount of $281,000 was discussed as the eligible expense total submitted by the applicant.

A committee roll call recommended moving both the planned-use amendment and the redevelopment agreement to full City Council for consideration. The committee also recorded that the project will be phased and that the applicant plans to repave existing pavement rather than add impervious area; final grading and drainage plans will be reviewed with the construction documents.

The applicant on the record was Carlos Perez, with architectural representation by Michelle Bridal. The committee noted the project will not include fuel sales and that outdoor storage will be prohibited as a condition carried forward from the 2007 planned-use.","The Community Development Committee recommended approval of a planned-use amendment and a redevelopment agreement for Full Circle Automotive at 510 South Lincoln Avenue, including eligibility for downtown TIF reimbursement; staff and the applicant addressed concerns about drainage, lighting and overnight vehicle storage.","actionData","errors"]
