Red Bud Development rezoning hearing continued to Jan. 14 after developer requests more time

The Board of Aldermen opened a public hearing on a rezoning request from Red Bud Development Group LLC seeking to change property zoning from C2 to R1 DPUD and to obtain a conditional-use permit for a proposed 32 single-family attached residential development at the address transcribed as "7393 Highway Inn and Stump Road." The developer asked the Board to delay a decision until they could submit revised plans.

Charlie, representing Bax Engineering, told the Board that the development team received comments on Dec. 5 and had not had sufficient time to address them. "We respectfully request our project to be tabled until the January 14 meeting," he said. The developer provided an office address in St. Charles, Missouri, and offered to answer questions but asked for the continuance to allow time to revise plans and responses.

Why it matters: The requested rezoning and conditional-use permit would change allowable uses and density on the site and shape the type and number of homes that could be built there. The Board’s decision to continue the hearing gives the developer time to supply revised plans and for staff and members to review outstanding technical comments.

The board handled the procedural vote immediately after the presentation. Commissioner Northcutt moved to continue the public hearing to Jan. 14, 2026; Commissioner Stanovich seconded the motion. The chair called the vote and the motion carried by voice vote (ayes). No public testimony in opposition or supportive testimony was recorded in the provided transcript before the motion to continue.

Next steps: The hearing is scheduled to reconvene on Jan. 14, 2026, according to the Board’s motion. The developer has said it will submit revised plans responding to comments received Dec. 5; staff review and comment resolution were cited as outstanding tasks.
