Florissant council denies Plush Lounge liquor renewal; reviews hotel permit, CDBG funding and park grant
Summary
At a brief Florissant City Council meeting, a liquor-license renewal for Plush Lounge was defeated. Council members held second readings on special-use permits for the Quality Inn and a car-detailer, reviewed the 2025 CDBG program, and supported a county grant application to renovate Coke Park’s soccer field.
Councilman Keith Shieldroth (Ward 5) told viewers the City Council defeated a liquor-license renewal for the Plush Lounge and reviewed several second readings and city business at a short meeting Tuesday night.
The most consequential outcome reported was the defeat of the Plush Lounge liquor-license renewal; the transcript records that the license "was not renewed," but does not provide a mover, seconder or vote tally. Council members also discussed second readings for two special-use permits.
Councilman Shieldroth summarized a transfer of a nonconforming special-use permit for the Quality Inn at 55 Dunn Road in Ward 5. He said the Patel family purchased the property (formerly a Hampton Inn), have begun interior and exterior renovations and that the site, located near the handball museum in Hazelwood, "has a potential of being a really good addition to the city of Florissant." The transcript does not record a final vote on that second reading.
The council also considered a special-use permit for Omar Atrajara to operate a car-detailing business at 8201 North Lindbergh. City staff clarified limits on vehicles: two cars may be worked on inside the building and five cars may remain outside overnight. Councilman Egan raised concerns about vehicles cluttering the site; the stated limit in the discussion was two inside and five outside.
Council members held a second reading on the 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, which Shieldroth said will help qualified residents with home repairs and exterior improvements. Residents seeking eligibility information were directed to contact City Hall at (314) 921-5700.
The council discussed a resolution supporting a grant application to the Saint Louis County Municipal Parks Commission to renovate the Coke Park soccer field; Shieldroth expressed hope the city will obtain the county grant. The meeting also included first readings of two bills concerning cell-tower leases, one at Bangert Park (in Ward 5) and one at Coke Park; no final action on those bills was recorded in the transcript.
The meeting closed with routine remarks and contact information from Shieldroth. No public hearings were held during the session.
