Creve Coeur hires PGAV Planners for Bear East comprehensive-plan update; $65,000 task order approved
Summary
The council authorized Task Order 2 with PGAV Planners—$60,000 plus up to $5,000 in reimbursables—for a six-month comprehensive-plan update focused on the Bear East site, including market analysis, development guidance and a flora/fauna analysis; staff will host two open houses and coordinate with 39 North stakeholders.
The Creve Coeur City Council authorized a $65,000 task order with PGAV Planners to prepare a comprehensive-plan update and site analysis for the Bear East property.
City staff described the work as a six-month engagement that will include a market analysis, development and zoning recommendations, a flora and fauna analysis added to the scope at the request of the planning and zoning commission, and public outreach (two open houses and stakeholder meetings, including coordination with 39 North). The proposed fee is $60,000 with up to $5,000 in reimbursable expenses, for a total authorization of $65,000.
Council members discussed coordination with the current property owner and prospective bidders, whether proposals would demolish or reuse existing buildings, and how the plan should address green areas and wildlife habitat. Staff said they have met with the property owner and that some movement has begun but no final sale decision has been announced.
Why it matters: The Bear East site comprises approximately 92 acres referenced in the discussion; the comprehensive-plan update will guide future zoning, connectivity and public-financing criteria for potential redevelopment.
Next steps: PGAV will conduct the site analysis, host the two open houses, present a draft to the planning and zoning commission and then return to the council with a final recommendation.
