AWARDS: The West Florissant Corridor District received the 2020 Leadership in Planning & Design Innovation Award from the East-West Gateway Council of Governments.
PGAV was engaged by the St. Louis Economic Development Partnership to facilitate a joint land use plan and zoning code update for the West Florissant Corridor, working with the municipalities of Ferguson, Dellwood, and Jennings. This process sought to understand the existing conditions on the corridor and make practical code updates to encourage the kind of development that each city wanted. By providing internal coordination and encouraging collaboration between the municipalities, PGAV was able to work with each City to design the land use regulations they desired, and communicate how the plan could work across municipal boundaries to create a cohesive corridor. Ultimately, PGAV drafted a new zoning code which each municipality adopted, creating the West Florissant Corridor District.
