Gas stations are crime vectors. They need to be treated as the public safety camcer they are by city statues. Especially zoning.
#zoneforpeoplestl
#carsruincities
Gas stations and drive thrus should be nowhere near homes, schools, daycares, hospitals, parks. Let's ensure our zoning code treats them as the public health and safety threat that they are.

"The city is reducing red tape for development by eliminating parking minimums and allowing single staircases in certain buildings."
Parking minimums and housing caps are bass ackwards. Let's reduce or eliminate parking mandates.

This drive thru coffee on Hampton has a floor to area ratio (FAR) of 0.05. The fast food drive thru proposal on Kingshighway approved by the Board of Adjustment yesterday has a FAR of 0.06. #Stl zoning code has max FARs, maybe there should be min FARs?

Board of Adjustment meeting today 1:30. Zoning variances for the fast food drive thru on Kingshighway and self storage at Jefferson and Chouteau will be considered. Testify!

Subdividing 7201 Southwest is on the June 25 Board of Adjustment agenda. Great to see an increase in land productivity! Stupid our zoning doesn't allow this two-family by default.

Thanks to U City's onerous parking mandates, tons more CO2 will heat the planet and rent will be higher for tenents for parking spaces that will be empty.

Great example
"the new requirements make for very expensive construction. I built a 4-fam on a lot that had a 15 unit on it years ago. We wanted greater density to lower the per unit cost as well as to make sure the project made economic sense. . NUTZ!"
