The City of Chesterfield has officially rejected the rezoning proposal for Park Circle Drive. This outcome preserves the intended character of our downtown area and ensures that our public green spaces remain protected. Thank you for your commitment to the long-term vision of our community.

The City of Chesterfield, MO has been petitioned to rezone the parcel of land at Park Circle Drive and Chesterfield Parkway from "Planned Commercial" to "Urban Core" so that the developer can construct a high-density apartment complex with minimum setbacks.
This parcel is virtually on top of "The Awakening" sculpture, adjacent to the Sachs Library and directly across the street from the Veterans Honor Park, the Chesterfield Amphitheater and Chesterfield's Central Park. This proposed development is in stark contrast to the original vision for Downtown Chesterfield, which set forth plans for ample green space with office buildings, retail and restaurants.
The proposed developer is Thompson Thrift Development, an Indianapolis based company that is currently building the nearby "Watermark at Chesterfield Village" apartments.
If you join this petition, we will add your voice to the many that oppose this project. Our petition will ask the City of Chesterfield to say no to this rezoning request and keep the original vision for Downtown Chesterfield alive.
Thank you and please share with other Chesterfield residents. Each adult in a household is entitled to sign this petition.

ive gone to that park my entire life and it holds so many memories. if anything were to happen to that place for some measly apartments, it would tear me apart. leave the memories of many. there is so much land here we can build apartments at, but dont hurt the land where i grew up.
Please no more apartments until school overcrowding is addressed. If Chesterfield decides more apartments are needed, there are better areas to utilize than the green space near the amphitheater and library.
Save the statues! This request for a re-zoning is ridiculous! There are so many apartments in the area now. Lou Sachs is turning over in his grave. Do not let his vision of this wonderful city be destroyed.
The density, congestion , and aesthetics of this proposed change of use project would negatively impact the look and feel of what is otherwise a community gem and deviates significantly from original conceptual plans. I do not support the change in zoning.
This area needs to remain as is. Why not use the massive space called "Chesterfield Mall" ?? Rezone that area to residential....that way this will not sit empty and become an eye sore. It can be repurposed while allowing the downtown area to remain quiet and family friendly.

Save our green space. Apartments and office space are abundant in our area. We cannot make more land. Please save what we have.

This proposal is not consistent with the Envision Chesterfield concept plan. It will negatively impact the use of the park, and amphitheater, and the many community events held in the area. In its present form, it should be denied.
