Mission
Statement

The mission
of CCV is to provide timely, useful information and informed
commentary about the governance of Creve Coeur. CCV’s
objective is to inform the public on the issues and decisions
which affect everyday life in Creve Coeur and the direction
that the City is taking for the future. CCV believes that
an informed public will be better prepared to influence
the governance of Creve Coeur through feedback to elected
representatives and through the political process.
Vision
for Creve Coeur

CCV supports
a vision for the future of Creve Coeur. CCV believes that
Creve Coeur should be a model residential community with
limited population density and with commercial development
targeted to the everyday needs of the residents. Limiting
population density means limiting apartments, condominiums,
“cluster” houses, and other zoning changes which
would increase the population. Targeted development would
include retail businesses focused on household needs such
as groceries, hardware, pharmacy, dry cleaning, financial
services, medical services, automobile services, etc., NOT
high rise office buildings, regional or “big box”
retail developments, etc.
CCV
believes that Creve Coeur is already developed beyond its
optimum capacity and that limiting and controlling additional
development will maximize property values by establishing
Creve Coeur as a premium residential
and business location. CCV believes that additional over-development
will lead to congestion, high vacancy rates, population
turnover, and a decline in the quality of life in Creve
Coeur.
CCV
envisions reducing taxes over time by limiting the costs
of government services imposed by high density development.
CCV believes that city government can be downsized over
time through attrition, while maintaining key services such
as police, street maintenance, parks, and sanitation.
Creve
Coeur still has an opportunity to be a unique community
in St. Louis County- less congested than Clayton or Richmond
Heights, newer and fresher than Olivette or Kirkwood, more
“livable” than Chesterfield, Frontenac, or Ladue-
in general smarter and better than the rest.
