The St. Louis County Council has rejected an oil-change facility at the corner of Lindbergh and Tesson Ferry and a car wash on Gravois Road, in a resounding rejection of the proliferation of auto-oriented businesses and car washes along South County’s main roads.
The council unanimously voted 6-0 April 27 for a resolution with binding authority to reject the county Planning Commission’s recommendation of an oil-change facility at the former Taco Bell site at 5554 S. Lindbergh Blvd., which was abandoned in late 2016 when Taco Bell built a new location it owned at 6080 S. Lindbergh.
The opposition to both projects was led by 6th District Councilman Ernie Trakas, R-Oakville, who said the area has too many oil change places both operating and abandoned and car washes.
