Board Bills

Board Bill Number 70
Introduced by Alderwoman Sharon Tyus

This Board Bill seeks to approve a Chapter 99 Redevelopment Plan and Blighting Study for the 1706-1720 North Kingshighway Blvd. Redevelopment Area. This Board Bill will allow up to a 10-year tax abatement at 95 percent and use of eminent domain.

Board Bill Number 105
Introduced by Alderwoman Christine Ingrassia

This Board Bill, recommended by the City of St. Louis Planning Commission, authorizes the creation of a Signage Plan Overlay District (SPD) for the St. Louis City SC Stadium Area. A signage plan overlay district is a zoning tool which allows for specific signage regulations for a defined area which supersede the underlying Comprehensive Signage Control Regulations. In this case the SPD would permit signage around the stadium district which would allow for flexibility in the size, height, type, placement and number of allowed signs to facilitate district wayfinding, cohesion, creativity, and a high-quality built environment which supports the design and architecture of the stadium itself and related facilities. The establishment of this SPD followed the requirements in Chapter 26.68 of the Comprehensive Sign Control Regulations for the creation of Signage Plan Overlay Districts.

Board Bill Number 111
Introduced by Alderwoman Marlene E Davis

This is a Board Bill recommended by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment appropriating a portion of funds received under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Pub. L. No. 117-2 (March 11, 2021) (ARPA). It authorizes certain expenditures of such funds, to the extent received. It authorizes contracts and other documents to expend the funds and it contains a severability and an emergency clause.
