09-12-17 BOA Minutes September 12, 2017 Page 3 of 16 The subject property is in a Transit Oriented Development Zoning District; the mixed-use building in which this proposed restaurant is located was approved through the Planned Unit Development process with reduced on-site parking due to its proximity to public transportation and the results of a parking study. The property owner has chosen to preserve the parking spaces in the on-site garage for apartment tenants and not to provide the restaurant with dedicated parking spaces. Public street parking is provided along North Central Avenue and there are multiple public parking lots in close proximity to the site. The site is also located within walking distance of the Clayton MetroLink stop. The Plan Commission considered this request at their meeting of August 28, 2017, and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the use and the parking waiver to the Board of Aldermen with the condition that there be no outdoor music or speakers to amplify music or similar audio. Staff recommendation is to approve a Conditional Use Permit for the operation of Peel Wood Fired Pizza at 212 S. Meramec Avenue per the conditions outlined in the Resolution. In response to the Board’s questions, Brandon Case and Patrick Thirion, owners, addressed the Board stating that they plan to open in mid-year of 2018. Mayor Sanger closed the public hearing. Alderman Winings moved to approve Resolution No. 17-17, a Conditional Use Permit for Peel Wood Fired Pizza located at 212 S. Meramec Avenue. Alderman Boulton seconded.

The applicant was unable to secure on-site parking spaces. Public parking is available on South Meramec and in nearby public garages. With regard to parking, because the restaurant is greater than 3,000-square-feet, the City’s parking regulations require off-street parking at a rate of 3 parking spaces for every 5 seats on a pro-rated basis for square footage in excess of 3,000. Based on the 7,455-square-foot restaurant with 199 seats, 71 parking spaces are required. The applicant is requesting approval of a parking waiver.
