The consultant will manage the entire project which will create public engagement around the options that are available. PAAC recently met to discuss options and she has also met with a select few citizens who live in proximity of Centene to also discuss the options. The consultant brought forward five artists, a committee that involved Centene representatives and herself looked at the options and selected two out of the five artists, and they will meet and present to Mr. Neidorff. One of Centene’s requests was to have an abstract piece. Mr. Bliss commented that he is glad to know that there is progress being made.

Mayor Harris opened the public hearing and requested proof of publication. Andrea Muskopf, Assistant to the City Manager, reported that this is a public hearing to consider an application for a Conditional Use Permit submitted by Seth Williams of MetroVet St. Louis to allow the establishment of a new veterinary clinic located at 920 South Brentwood Boulevard. The subject property has a zoning designation of High Density Commercial District. The proposed veterinary clinic would occupy approximately 2,688 square feet of space in the current building. Parking is provided on the site, with 21 existing spaces provided between the subject site and the adjacent accompanying parking lot located at 914 South Brentwood Boulevard, which serves the subject site. The proposed hours of operation are 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Thursday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Friday, and 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM on Saturday. The clinic will be closed on Sundays. The proposed facility provides primary care veterinary medicine and surgery services and not animal boarding or daycare type services. Animals will only be at the facility for an extended stay necessary due to a medical condition. There are no outdoor activities, such as a dog yard, proposed by the applicant. In response to the Board’s questions, Seth Williams, owner, addressed stated that it is a long-time dream to expand the business to Clayton. The building will undergo renovations to be high quality and modern. They are planning on opening in late December 2021 or early January 2022.
