Planning commission approves expanded special-use permit for Lippincott Chiropractic

The City of Fenton Planning and Zoning Commission on Sept. 2 voted to amend an existing special-use permit so Lippincott Chiropractic can expand from Suite D into the adjacent Suite E at 672 Gravois Bluffs Boulevard.

The change amends the original SUP issued by Ordinance 2798 and covers the tenant space depicted on plans dated July 17, 2025. Amy, a member of the community development staff, said the business has operated at Suite D since February 2006 and that no operational changes are proposed with the expansion.

Commissioners debated only parking and layout details. Chairperson Yeoman asked whether the expansion required additional parking; Amy said the development’s parking exceeds the demand of the site’s retail and medical uses. Petitioner Joshua Lippincott confirmed that the red lines on the submitted diagram show the existing walls and that new walls shown are additions to combine Suites D and E into one tenant space.

The approval includes conditions read into the record: the SUP applies solely to Joshua Lippincott DC at 672 Gravois Bluffs Boulevard, Suites D and E; municipal zoning approval and St. Louis County building permits are required for any interior remodel or signage; a separate occupancy permit is required; and compliance with all other applicable City of Fenton codes and ordinances. Chairperson Yeoman moved for approval; Vice Chairperson Cheryl seconded. The roll-call vote was unanimous in favor and the motion passed.

The petitioner may now pursue county building permits and the city occupancy permit before occupying Suite E.
