Tyler Stephens, CORE10 Architecture, addressed the Board providing a presentation of the subject property and project.

Alderman Berkowitz corrected a statement made by Mr. Stephens and explained that Katie’s Pizza was in fact a success at this location, but due to other circumstances they had to relocate. He added that he is in support of the proposed project as it is presented.

In response to Mayor Harris’ question, Mr. Stephens explained that the parking lot at Alamo and St. Rita is tied with the building and owned by the same owner who has plans for townhomes to be built soon.

The subject property has a zoning designation of Special Development District (SDD) and is part of the multi-phase Centene Clayton Campus. Subdistrict 2A is bounded by Forsyth Boulevard to the north, Carondelet Plaza to the south and east, and South Lyle Avenue to the west. The Special Development District Plan was approved by the Board of Aldermen on February 23, 2021 via Ordinance No. 6681.

This request is being considered concurrently with a request to amend the previously adopted Special Development District and Special Development Plan (adopted by Ordinance No. 6465). The Special Development Plan provides the general development standards for the proposed development including the location of project phases and schedules, location and use of each proposed building, the allowable land uses, the maximum height and size of each building, the location of open space and landscape buffers, general traffic circulation and the location of parking.

Raphael Tobias, Project Manager, addressed the Board providing a brief overview of the retail space. He stated that the request for the amendment is in order to put an orthodontics’ office in the location.

In response to Alderman McAndrew’s question regarding clarification that the space will be used only for a medical office City Manager Gipson confirmed that this one particular space on the ground floor level will be designated for a medical office.

Alderman Berkowitz inquired as to if this was the space initially earmarked as the ticket office for the entertainment center.

Mr. Tobias confirmed that the space was earmarked as the ticket office for the entertainment venue.

Hank Winkleman, citizen, addressed the Board stating that he appreciates the discussion, and this is a remarkable step to move forward in the neighborhood. He encouraged the Board to be aggressive and robustly include the community in the discussions. This is a wonderful opportunity for people to impact and shape Clayton. He encouraged the Board to aggressively explore the opportunities with the community to talk about architecture, open space, edges, streets, and this “gateway” (the east side) into Clayton.

Mayor Harris commented that retail has dramatically changed over the last decade; considerably over the last year and that the city will take a look at the retail, have discussions and possibly create future goals.

Mayor Harris closed the public hearing.

City Attorney O’Keefe noted that the bills were out of the correct sequence and asked that they be introduced with Bill No. 6854 first, then Bill No. 6853 second.

Alderman Lintz introduced Bill No. 6854, an ordinance to repeal the previously adopted SDD plan (Ord 6681) and approve an amended SDD Plan for the Centene Clayton Campus SDD to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Berkowitz seconded.

City Attorney O’Keefe reads Bill No. 6854, first reading, an Ordinance Repealing a Previously Adopted Special Development District Plan and Approving an Amended Special Development District Plan for the Centene Clayton Campus Special Development
