DEVELOPMENT CODE: The first three sections of the Development Code - General Provisions, Exterior Lighting, and Off-Street Parking and Loading have been adopted by the City Council and went into effect on August 27, 2010.
 
An Open House to discuss the next five sections - Signs, Billboards, Landscaping/Bufferyards, Fences, and Retaining Walls - was held on Monday, August 30th from 6 to 8 p.m. in the City Council Chambers. This Open House was a good opportunity to gather comments on these proposed regulations.
 
Citizens, property owners, Planning and Zoning Commissioners, City Council members, and staff were able to discuss various aspects of the proposed regulations at the Open House. These five sections of the Development Code were referred back to the Development Code Committee so that revisions based on the discussion at the Open House could be incorporated in the proposed regulations.
 
 
Brownfields Cleanup: The City of Cape Girardeau has been awarded a $20,000 grant from the Missouri Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund to remove two (2) gas tanks and cleanup the site at the former Mason Street Gas Station property located at 216 Mason Street. Follow this link for more information and to view the Analysis of Brownfields Cleanup Alternatives.
