Apartment Complex Proposal Back On City Planning Agenda Monday

Creve Coeur's Planning and Zoning Commission will try for a second time to hear a Chicago-based developer's plans for a 174-unit apartment complex called The Vanguard at Creve Coeur, to be developed at 10360 Old Olive Street.

The property is the former home of Immanuel Baptist Church, across from Kohn's Deli. A P&Z meeting over the property could not be held as scheduled last month because of a lack of a quorum. Nearby residents and a business owner still spoke out about traffic concerns related to the proposal.

The prospective owner, Covington Realty Partners, needs to have the property 5.26 acre rezoned from General Commercial to Core Business. A Conditional Use Permit would also be required. 

The project also needs action from the city's Board of Adjustment. Monday's Planning and Zoning Commission meeting starts at 7 p.m. at the Creve Coeur Government Center.
