Commission approves Mastercard parking expansion and reapproval for Arrive O'Fallon apartments
Summary
The commission approved Mastercard's 268‑space parking expansion (with tree mitigation and future solar canopy location) and reapproved the Arrive O'Fallon apartment site plan (162 units), advancing both projects toward construction pending permits.
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved a parking lot addition for Mastercard Technologies and reapproved the Arrive O'Fallon apartment complex during its Nov. 6 meeting.
Dan Koziatek, civil engineer for Mastercard, described the project as a remote extension of the existing parking field (labeled Parking Lot F) with 268 new spaces — 54 of which are compact spaces (the 20% compact allotment allowed by code). He noted a stormwater basin meets city detention and water‑quality requirements and that interior islands are being designed for low shrubs while perimeter trees will mitigate removed canopy and avoid conflict with a nearby approved solar farm. Koziatek said, “That yellow shape ... that's our project. We call that parking lot F.” Commissioners asked about tree mitigation, sight distance and whether tractor trailers would access the lot; the applicant confirmed emergency vehicle access and that the lot fills a post‑COVID parking demand.
Separately, the Arrive O'Fallon apartment project — a resubmitted plan originally approved in August 2024 — was reapproved. Applicants said the plan is unchanged in scale (162 units across seven buildings) and that construction plans are in review; the applicant said they expect to begin construction as soon as permits and financing are in place, with a target of summer 2026 depending on approvals. Commissioners cautioned that the approval window is one year from the meeting date to secure permits and emphasized timely construction plan submittal.
Both items passed on motions during the meeting. Mastercard's site plan was approved and Arrive O'Fallon was reapproved; motions carried and will proceed to standard permit and review processes.
