Lake Saint Louis Land Use Regulations & Zoning Map Community Survey

Lake Saint Louis Land Use Regulations & Zoning Map Survey

In December 2018, the City hired PGAV Planners, a St. Louis-based consulting firm, to perform a comprehensive update of the City’s land use regulations (primarily Chapters 400-445 and Chapter 245 of the Municipal Code) and zoning map. The goal of the project is to update the land use regulations to implement recommendations of the City’s Comprehensive Plan, incorporate best practices, improve user-friendliness, guide more consistent decision-making, and simplify administration. Please take five minutes to complete this survey. Thank you!
