The City of Fenton Board of Aldermen meeting on October 24, 2024, was marked by significant discussions surrounding zoning amendments and community projects. A key highlight was the approval of a special use permit for Beck's Best Box Missouri Gravway LLC to operate a self-storage facility at 747 Gravway Road. The proposal received a positive recommendation from the planning and zoning commission, indicating strong support for the project.

Alderman Hills, stepping in for the planning and zoning liaison, reported that no action was taken on the proposed amendments to establish a new R-5 residential zone district. However, the commission is set to hold its next meeting on November 6, 2024, due to the upcoming election.

In addition to zoning matters, the Parks and Recreation Committee presented several initiatives. The board approved a proposed parks project list for the 2025 draft capital plan, which aims to enhance community spaces. A new park donation policy was also adopted, reflecting the city’s commitment to improving its recreational facilities.

The meeting concluded with the approval of capital plan items for Riverchase, further demonstrating the city’s focus on community development and enhancement. Overall, the discussions underscored Fenton's proactive approach to urban planning and community engagement.
