Florissant holds public hearing on allowing speculative suites, virtual mailboxes in Historic Business District
Summary
A public hearing considered amending the Historic Business District to permit speculative suites, private postage services and virtual mailbox businesses at properties including 701 Saint Francis and 610 North Lafayette to help home‑based businesses receive deliveries and operate without storefronts.
Florissant — The Florissant City Council held a public hearing on an ordinance to amend the Historic Business (H.B.) District to add certain permitted uses intended to help residents and home‑based businesses, Councilman Tom O'Donnell said.
At the hearing, O'Donnell described the proposed additions: speculative suites, private postage services and virtual mailbox businesses. He cited two specific properties named in the discussion — 701 Saint Francis and 610 North Lafayette — as examples under consideration.
O'Donnell said the change is aimed at residents or small business operators who work from home and have delivery or business‑service needs that make a storefront impractical. The council subsequently advanced a first reading of an ordinance to enact the change.
The matter drew no contested outcome recorded in the transcript provided; the first reading moves the item forward in the ordinance process and further review or subsequent readings will determine final action.
