What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A bid to rezone three parcels of land in north Kirkwood, including the former Thrifty Car Rental lot, is currently on hold. The developer involved has voluntarily withdrawn their applications for the R-5 multi-family zoning needed to facilitate construction of up to 67 townhomes. Mayor Liz Gibbons stated that the petitioner intends to return with applications after the council has time to amend the city code.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The rezoning process was stalled because the city council needed to determine if it had sufficient input on the housing project after approving the necessary ordinances. The council has not had final say over building projects since a 2019 rule change, requiring review by the planning and zoning commission.
