Notice of Public Hearing on Zoning Amendments

In accordance with openness and transparency goals of the City of Twin Oaks, Missouri, notice is hereby given by the Board of Aldermen of the City of Twin Oaks that a public hearing will be held on Wednesday, February 3, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. for public comment on and consideration of the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission concerning amendments to the City’s Zoning Regulations, Chapter 400 of the City of Twin Oaks Municipal Code, Sections 400.490 and 400.500 pertaining to occupancy permit fees and related text, and Section 400.130 pertaining to accessory structures and related text.

The proposed amendments change the fee for an occupancy permit to be equal to the inspection cost incurred by the City from St. Louis County. In the case of single-family residential attached/detatched homes, this will reduce the permit fee from $150 to $95.50.

To balance both the need for continuity of government and protection of the health and safety of our residents, business persons and employees, this hearing will not be open to public attendance in person but shall be accessible by the public by telephone (audio only) or by using their tablet/laptop/pc (audio/video) at:
