lol.  I still can't imagine anyone in the neighborhood saying yes to this trash after sitting through the last meeting.  I see the plan, just didn't know if it had been revised.. you need street elevation and style approved for this historic district, yeah?

How did this get approved? Were there any additional meetings with the LSRC or neighborhood assn?

Is the storage unit proposal now going forward?

yes, it's under construction

With 5 apartments

There is another apartment building under design for this area. While it won’t address the mistake of converting a warehouse into public storage and 5 apartments, it will add additional housing, which is a win in itself. On the bright side, is this the first mixed-use storage place anywhere?

Would have to be. Unless the Car Wash and Storage Unit passive income developers already floated it around on reddit as a way to get around permit offices

This is such a prime site, I can’t believe we approved this. Should have forced their hand to sell it. Someone would’ve developed this site the same way the new apartments on Lasalle were a couple blocks down. What an entry way this will be into one of the premier victorian neighborhoods in existence. We have held back what would be stellar neighborhoods by constantly allowing this kind of crap on Jefferson

Bad start for Cara when it comes to Jefferson Ave

I attended the first hearing and there's no way this should have been approved?

How does this conform to the setback requirements in the land utilization plan? https://zoup-stl.konveio.com/zoup-draft ... 26#page=19

They're using an existing building

On this month's (preliminary) Preservation Board agenda:

PRELIMINARY REVIEWS ADDRESS: 2000 Missouri Avenue 
ITEM: Construct 6-story Apartment Building 
JURISDICTION: Lafayette Square Local Historic District 
NEIGHBORHOOD: Lafayette Square 
WARD: 8 
OWNER: Graddy Investments of St. Louis LLC 
APPLICANT: Mike Killeen/Killeen Studio Architects 
CRO STAFF: Bob Bettis

Note that the address was probably meant to be "1000" or "1001" Missouri Avenue (at Chouteau), as 2000 Missouri would be in McKinley Heights.
