Bompart Avenue)) Comprehensive Plan Analysis – In 2017, the City incorporated the 2006 DFP maps into a consolidated Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment The 2017 Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment recommended Public/Institutional/ Community for the subject property. The proposed request is not to change the zoning of the property but rather to get approval of a conditional use within the existing zoning district. It is Staff’s opinion that this would be in compliance with the existing Comprehensive Plan as no change of zoning is proposed. Exhibit 2 24-PC-07 Peace United Church of Christ (47 N. Bompart Avenue)) Zoning Analysis: Conditional Use Permit Per Sec. 53.173(a), the Council shall determine whether the proposed use will NOT: 1. Substantially increase traffic hazards or congestion. 2. Substantially increase fire hazards. 3. Adversely affect the character of the neighborhood. 4. Adversely affect the general welfare of the community. 5. Overtax public utilities. Exhibit 2 24-PC-07 Peace United Church of Christ (47 N. Bompart Avenue)) Zoning Analysis – Use – “Places of Worship” use.

And it starts tonight. I have TWO fair and reasonable requests on behalf of all those many residents who continue to support the indoor pool as part of the Water Park, especially given that the footing for the innovative DynaDome pool enclosure will be included in the new Water Park design. FIRST, please add a “line item” on the comprehensive Destination WG Project List Timeline to formally include and schedule Council’s serious reconsideration of the indoor pool, whether it’s in 2025, 2026 or 2027. We simply want a firm date pinned down and a public commitment by City Council to address the subject. SECOND, please schedule a serious review of what we believe is a more accurate annual revenue projection Exhibit 4 for the indoor pool. We are not experts in Operating Expenses. But we have significant knowledge of the revenue side of the ledger, including our collective experience as league championship swim & dive high school, college & club teams and their coaches; high school, college All-American & now Master swimmers; long-time swim team parents, other St. Louis County municipal outdoor & indoor pool managers, and a leading pool designer. We think that the city’s current indoor pool revenue projection is certainly one option, but it is not the ONLY option. We do not begrudge or criticize this current revenue outlook that dates back to the July 2023 Aquatic Center Master Plan. We simply have a very different view of the indoor pool’s multiple revenue streams and assumptions. Simply stated, we believe that the city’s current revenue projection unjustly penalizes the indoor pool opportunity with overly conservative, incomplete and missing revenue streams that create a huge financial loss. More concerning, to us, it was singularly the city’s revenue projection that led to City Council’s decision not to include the indoor pool in Prop W. Exhibit 4 We would simply like our chance to tell our side of the story and have an intelligent, respectful conversation. That’s all. Thank YOU.”
