Crestwood has a new zoning code approved by the Board of Aldermen earlier this year that changes how the city handles zoning issues. Aldermen unanimously passed the revamped zoning code Jan. 12, the culmination of an ongoing project since 2018 between the city and planning firm Peckham Guyton Albers and Viets. The Planning and Zoning Commission formally adopted the draft ordinance from PGAV last year, beginning with the sign code. The most significant revisions change zoning powers and create a special zoning district along Watson Road, known as the “Watson Road Overlay.” The new overlay district will apply to zoning for the redevelopment of the former Crestwood mall site proposed by Dierbergs and McBride Homes.
