In a recent government meeting, the Wentzville City Council approved the first reading of Bill Number 474, which proposes the rezoning of approximately 4.28 acres from agricultural to R1C single-family residential zoning. This change will facilitate the creation of 17 lots within a total area of 9.79 acres, as clarified during the discussion. The motion received unanimous support from the council members present, with five votes in favor and one member absent.
Additionally, the council reviewed a site plan submitted by Ringman Holdings LLC for a construction project at 102 Resource Drive. The proposed site plan involves the development of an office and warehouse for Bingman Construction on a 5-acre parcel currently zoned I2. The plan has undergone revisions since its last approval, with adjustments made to the layout to accommodate future expansion. Notably, the parking area has been relocated to the north side of the building to optimize space for potential growth.
Carl Shanicky from Veil and Environmental Consultants provided insights into the site plan, confirming compliance with parking and stormwater management requirements. The project aims to enhance the operational capacity of Bingman Construction while adhering to city regulations. The architectural design remains consistent with previous approvals, ensuring continuity in the development's visual impact.
The council's decisions reflect ongoing efforts to manage land use effectively while supporting local business growth in Wentzville.
