Take the Survey!
The City of Des Peres is beginning the process of updating its Comprehensive Plan, and we want to hear from you! Community feedback is an important part of planning for the future of Des Peres.
Please take a few minutes to complete our short, 10-minute survey. Your input will help shape the community’s future and ensure the plan reflects the values, priorities, and ideas of Des Peres residents.
Thanks for Attending the Listening Sessions!
The City hosted small-group listening sessions for residents on June 16 and 17 at City Hall. Each session was led by a facilitator who guided conversations about Des Peres’ strengths, community concerns, and key issues affecting residents. Sessions lasted approximately 45 minutes.
Couldn't make a listening session? Don’t worry. The planning process will continue through Spring 2027, and there will be many opportunities for residents to stay involved and provide input.
What is a Comprehensive Plan?
A comprehensive plan serves as a strategic guide for the community, shaping decisions, both large and small, over the next ten years regarding future land use and the City’s physical development. It translates community values into specific actions, creating a blueprint for the future.
Additionally, the comprehensive plan is closely integrated with other municipal documents and initiatives to ensure a cohesive approach to development, city services, and overall city decision-making.
How can I get involved?
Great question! Public involvement is a vital part of this process. There will be open houses for residents to attend, as well as an online community survey in Summer 2026. Additionally, the planning team will engage with various community stakeholders and organizations.
