Florissant Okays Catering Business That

Originally Sought to Have Teen Center

                      By Carol Arnett

The Florissant City Council had two public hearings scheduled for its meeting last week, but postponed one. The postponed hearing was about rezoning some properties from one business/commercial zoning class to another.

The hearing that was held was a request for a special use permit to Signature Sandwich Co. to allow for the operation of a sit-down, carry-out restaurant at the property at 430 Howdershell Rd. Max’s Meats has offered sandwiches for several years. This permit will put them in compliance with city code.

The council also passed several bills. They passed a bill allowing changes to a previous bill allowing additions to the Phillips 66 at 2020 Patterson Rd. Work is already underway.

The council also passed a bill granting a special use permit to Tastebuds Catering for a catering business at 1A Mullanphy Gardens Shopping Center. The location will provide catering and there will be a restaurant. When the plan for the business was originally presented to the council, it was for an internet café and teen center. After alot of concerns by council members about operating a teen center there, the owner scaled down plans to a restaurant.

The council also passed a bill that appropriates $35,000 to help fund the Nov. 3 election. This money will go to the St. Louis County Board of Election to pay for the election itself.   The bill was sponsored by the council as a whole.

The council also held first readings on two bills that make changes to some of the business zoning districts.
