Committee recommends rezoning of 2800 block of McNair to clarify property boundary
Summary
The committee gave a due-pass recommendation to Board Bill 63, a boundary-adjustment rezoning in the Benton Park neighborhood that transfers a roughly 40-foot strip to ensure permanent access for a residential unit; planning staff said both property owners are amicable and the planning commission recommended approval.
St. Louis — The Housing, Urban Development and Zoning Committee voted to recommend passage of Board Bill 63, a rezoning and boundary adjustment for the 2800 block of McNair in the Benton Park neighborhood, a planning official said.
City planning staff explained the change is a simple boundary correction to formalize a roughly 40-by-10-foot walking access strip that had long been used by a residence but was discovered during a change of ownership. The planning commission recommended the rezoning in June and both abutting property owners supported the change, staff said.
The committee heard from planning staff, who said the property next door had been a church that closed and, after sale, the new owners discovered the boundary issue. One committee member praised the behind-the-scenes work that goes into seemingly simple boundary adjustments; several members said they had no questions and moved the bill forward.
A motion to give Board Bill 63 a due-pass recommendation carried on roll call with five aye votes recorded. Committee members recorded as voting “aye” included Alderman Schweitzer; Alderman Keyes; Vice Chair Saulnier; Alderman Browning; and Chair Charmaine Clark Hubbard.
The measure will now move to the full Board of Aldermen for final consideration.
