Plated Boutique seeks C‑3 CUP and warehouse; council gives first reading to related ordinance

Owners of Plated Boutique presented their proposal to the Dardenne Prairie Board during a public hearing and received a first reading by title on a related ordinance.

Carl Shaneyke of Veil Environmental Consultants (identified in the transcript as CEC) described the project and team, noting the site’s current C‑3 retail commercial zoning and a request to add a conditional use permit for the warehouse component. He said standard setbacks are maintained, the applicant proposes 31 parking spaces where 29 are required by code, and stormwater will be handled with a bioretention pond connecting to the city storm sewer.

Colin of Baumann Architects described architectural features including painted brick wainscot, canopies and large windows. Lisa Rose, co‑owner of Plated Boutique, said the business has operated for seven years and plans to consolidate warehouse and retail operations in Dardenne Prairie so customers can use local pickup and find a showroom at the site. She described the layout as an 8,000‑square‑foot warehouse with a 3,000‑square‑foot retail area and said she expects to expand retail hours over time as the business and staffing allow.

Planning and Zoning recommended approval. Council members pressed owners to consider more typical retail hours to attract local foot traffic; Rose said the business would expand hours as demand and labor permit. The council moved to read Bill 24‑57 by title only for its first reading; the transcript notes the vote carried and that a second reading will occur at the next meeting (identified in the meeting as Dec. 4).

What's next: Bill 24‑57 received a first reading by title; a second reading and potential vote are scheduled at the council’s next meeting. The transcript records elements of the site plan and P&Z recommendation but does not show a final adoption vote for the CUP in the provided segments.
