A PUBLIC HEARING AND A RESOLUTION TO CONSIDER APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR CENTRAL BANK OF ST. LOUIS 7707 FORSYTH BOULEVARD
Mayor Pro Tempore Harris opened the Public Hearing. City Manager Owens reported that this is a public hearing and subsequent resolution for a conditional use permit for a modification to the existing drive-through facility and the installation of a temporary drive-through facility on the top level of the Pierre Laclede Center’s parking garage. The drive-through has been in operation since 1968. The existing drive-through facility accommodates nine lanes (including one ATM lane). The drive-through hours are 8:30 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday and 9 AM to 12 PM on Saturday; the ATM operates 24 hours/day. The applicant proposes to remove four of the drive-through lanes and to shorten the canopy by 48 feet. The additional space created will be used for 10 new parking spaces.
The applicant proposes to remove four of the drive-through lanes and to shorten the canopy by 48 feet. The additional space created will be used for 10 new parking spaces. The applicant proposes to utilize a temporary trailer on the northeast corner of the site to be used as a temporary drive-through facility during the approximate 6-week construction process. Drive-through facilities for financial institutions require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Neither the City nor the applicant has record of an approved CUP for the existing drive-through. Because this is an alteration of an existing drive-through facility, a new CUP is required. The City’s drive-through guidelines are not applicable because it is a modification of an existing use. The City’s Off Street Parking and Loading Regulations require establishments with more than one drive- through lane to provide a minimum of 5 stacked parking spaces. More than 5 stacked spaces will be provided.

The Plan Commission considered this request at their January 5, 2015 meeting and voted to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit to the Board of Aldermen. Recommendation is to conduct a public hearing and approve the resolution. In response to Alderman Boulton’s question, Ms. Tracy Thomas, representative for Central Bank explained that the construction trailer is only temporary during construction. She explained that due to the convenience of online/electronic services more customers are utilizing that form of banking making their current nine-lane drive through underutilized and therefore they will be constructing a much smaller drive through in order to free-up customer parking to the building. Mayor Pro Tempore closed the Public Hearing. Alderman Garnholz moved to approve Resolution No. 15-01, to approve a conditional use permit for Central Bank of St. Louis. Alderman Winings seconded. The motion passed unanimously on a voice vote. A PUBLIC HEARING AND AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER APPROVING A REVISION TO CHAPTER 405 (ZONING REGULATIONS), TO ADOPT A NEW ARTICLE REGULATING OUTDOOR DINING
Mayor Pro Tempore opened the Public Hearing. City Manager Owens reported that the purpose of the proposed regulations is to permit outdoor dining on public and private property that is compatible with other uses of the sidewalk. The regulations simplify and consolidate the current requirements, allow more administrative flexibility, and protect and maintain accessible sidewalks. The proposed regulations closely mirror the existing Outdoor Dining Standards with some variations.
