Committee approves rezoning to allow STL Care office across from Alumni House
Summary
The Housing, Urban Development and Zoning Committee voted to recommend approval of Board Bill 4, which consolidates several parcels on the 4300 block of St. Louis Avenue from multifamily and neighborhood commercial to G local commercial and office to accommodate the STL Care headquarters.
Aldewoman Taish asked the committee for a favorable recommendation on Board Bill 4, which would rezone multiple parcels on the 4300 block of St. Louis Avenue to G (local commercial and office) to accommodate STL Care relocating its headquarters.
The rezoning request affects parcels currently zoned C (multifamily) and F (neighborhood commercial). Aldewoman Taish said STL Care will keep its existing health clinic on Martin Luther King Boulevard and consolidate headquarters offices across from the Alumni House, a structure that was damaged in a recent tornado. “They are going to keep the clinic there because they have another clinic at Homer G Phillips that’s not that far away,” Taish said. She said the request was scaled back from broader commercial zoning to a local G classification to limit uses allowed in the neighborhood.
The bill’s sponsor said the developer will not tear down as many structures as originally planned and that the project aims to remain in the Greater Ville/Wells Goodfellow area. Committee members asked whether the clinic would remain and whether neighborhood outreach had occurred. Taish said the project began under a prior alderman and that residents were contacted earlier in the process.
Alderman Cone and Alderman Aldridge indicated no substantive concerns during questions. The committee voted to forward Board Bill 4 with a do-pass recommendation; the clerk recorded seven aye votes.
The rezoning would consolidate affected parcels to the G local commercial and office district and allow an office building for STL Care across from the Alumni House on the 4300 block of St. Louis Avenue. No further implementation details (building permits, timelines, or funding) were specified in the committee record.
Members of the committee approved the minutes for prior meetings before taking up Board Bill 4, and there were no public speakers recorded for this bill.
The committee’s favorable recommendation moves the zoning change forward to the next legislative step; any final approvals, permits or site-specific conditions will appear in later council actions.
