Jet's Pizza A Step Closer To Opening In Creve Coeur

Creve Coeur's Planning and Zoning Commission gave unanimous approval Monday night to a proposal by Jet's Pizza to open a delivery/pick-up only restaurant in the former Shear Images space at Olive Boulevard and Graeser Road.

Restaurant backers told the Commission that they expect a 75 percent delivery-25 percent pickup in terms of the breakdown in business traffic.

While there are no plans for sitdown business at the restaurant, the plan approved Monday does allow for up to 16 seats inside.

Employee and delivery vehicles would be parked in the rear of the building, or "as far away from Olive as possible," City Planner Whitney Kelly told the panel.

The proposal now moves on to Creve Coeur City Council.

The Commission continued discussion surrounding a proposed apartment complex for Old Olive Street. The so-called "Vanguard" proposal still needs to go before the Creve Coeur Board of Adjustment May 16, leaving the possibility that it could be back before Planning and Zoning May 20.
