From Call Newspapers: A proposed Aldi grocery store in South County is one of the public hearings scheduled to be heard by the St. Louis County Planning Commission this month.
The Planning Commission will meet Monday, July 17 at 7 p.m. at the St. Louis County Government Center in Clayton, located at 41 S. Central Ave., 63105.
Aldi Inc. is proposing a 20,500-square-foot store on a 4.98-acre lot at 13047 Butler Crest Drive. The vacant lot, currently owned by Kromal Investment Inc., is zoned for C-2 commercial. Aldi is requesting a change to a C-8 planned commercial district. The location is in the 6th District of County Councilman Ernie Trakas and the Mehlville School District.
The proposed store features 108 parking spaces, with a full access drive entrance off Old Tesson Ferry Road and a right-in, right-out entrance off Tesson Ferry Road. The lot is split with an existing McDonald’s and is situated across from the old MetLife building property, which is being redeveloped into the mixed-use development “Tesson Ridge.”
The commission previously considered a proposal for the same location last summer, at that time from Tidal Wave Car Wash, which sought a conditional use permit to construct an express car wash facility on the site.
