The Cities of Olivette, Missouri and University City, Missouri are engaged in a cooperative
agreement to explore integrated and coordinated development activities for the area around the
Olive Boulevard and I-170 intersection.
The "Cities" believe that the location of this intersection on their mutual boundary creates a unique
opportunity to encourage high-quality, economically sustainable, mixed use developments that
projects positive community images, increases the value of surrounding property, adds to the
public convenience, and provides additional opportunities for pursuing an urban lifestyle for the
residents and property owners of the respective communities. The "Cities" further believe that this
opportunity may be best leveraged by their cooperation in managing future development in this
area.

As a tangible consequence of this cooperative agreement the "Cities" are each creating a zoning
overlay to foster coordinated redevelopment, to be known as the "Joint Development Zoning
Overlay" or "JDO", within their respective jurisdictions by adopting this Article as part of each
City's Municipal Code. The "JDO" is applicable only to new structures, and overlays existing
zoning districts within the area.
The "JDO" provides a process for the "Cities" to jointly ensure that any proposed development in
the area meets the intent and purpose of this Division. The final result of the "JDO" process will be
the rezoning of the area of proposed development into a separate zoning district within the
underlying "City", referred to as a "Planned Development Zoning District", subject to its own
specific regulations that implement the intent and purpose of this Article.
The "JDO" is intended to allow the "Cities" an opportunity to coordinate and jointly oversee
development of the defined area in an effort to further the goals and objectives of the development
principles established in the "Cities' Plans". Furthermore, the intent of the "JDO" is to provide for
and promote the revitalization and development of underutilized, functionally or economically
obsolete properties located within the established district boundaries.

Plan Commission approval.
The Plan Commission shall act on the motion: "The proposed development as described
in the petition under review substantially conforms to adopting ordinance establishing the
"Planned Development District", including the adopted "JDO" planned development
petition and supporting documents."
The Commission may find substantial conformance in the case of deviations that are
necessary:
To fulfill the development concept in the adopting ordinance establishing the "PDD",
including the adopted "JDO" planned development petition; and
Because of site conditions that could not have reasonably been discovered earlier.
If the motion passes, then the petition for final development review, incorporating any
modifications adopted by the Plan Commission, shall be designated an approved petition
for final development review. That designation shall remain in effect for one (1) year from
the date the motion was passed, at which time the petition will no longer be an approved
petition for final development review.
In any case, the petitioner shall be notified in writing of the Plan Commission's action.
