November 21, 2025 — Meeting Transcript

This is a transcript of a Clayton City Council strategic discussion session held November 21, 2025. Excerpts show staff and council discussion of proposed updates to the uniform development code and non‑residential/mixed‑use regulations tied to the city’s comprehensive plan, including architectural and site‑design standards, parking and floor‑area-ratio considerations, and how to replace or standardize streetlight fixtures. The excerpts record discussion of removing some PUD requirements, conflicts between height and floor‑area‑ratio limits in high‑density commercial zoning, possible public‑benefit requests from developers, and options and cost follow‑ups for specific light pole and fixture types; no formal votes or numeric levy/rate figures are recorded in the provided excerpts.

Are we allowed to have a new topic, at least a question? I mean, yeah. So I just wanted, I was hoping that we could maybe talk about these at some point. So you distributed the Whiteown restoration memo. My question is, is there a process for us to collectively discuss this? Do we want to collectively discuss this is there a direction we're going to go? What's the plan? Yeah. So of course we're limited on meetings in December. We do have the Friday session in December. That's still on the calendar. That would be a good time to have that conversation. december 9th that meeting is just jammed with items so um but yes we need to have an open conversation about what we would uh prefer to see over there so so the reason i bring it up is i've had um so the uh clayton community foundation white own committee wants some feedback from a timing standpoint on what are we raising money for meaning which plan or have we chosen and what's the direction um and then uh you i'm sure all are aware of the newspaper article that ran about tornado recovery in the post-dispatch. And so I've had a couple of residents email me just while we were sitting here saying how they feel very strongly what they don't want. And so I'm not saying that we've made a decision, but residents are going to keep asking us more and more.
