Families who drive Olive Boulevard to get kids to practice are about to share that road with a new neighborhood — a smaller one than originally planned, but still funneling all its traffic through a single entrance onto one of Chesterfield's busiest corridors.

The Overlook, a 29.4-acre residential development at 14001 Olive Blvd. near Hog Hollow Road, has been trimmed from 81 homes to 59 single-family attached units. Per a City of Chesterfield ordinance, access to Olive Boulevard — also designated State Highway 340 — is limited to one access point. A second entrance from the east is gated and reserved for emergency vehicles only.

The city's ordinance records show the revised plan also gives each home more breathing room: individual lot sizes grew from 1,740 to 2,320 square feet. The site plan filed with the city includes a Tree Preservation Plan and Tree Stand Delineation, meaning the existing tree cover on the 29.4-acre parcel is subject to protection requirements under the approved development agreement.

The petitioner, Stock and Associates on behalf of Bluonx Development LLC, cleared a series of city hurdles to get here. The Chesterfield Planning Commission recommended approval by a 7-1 vote after a public hearing in January 2025, according to city ordinance records. The Planning and Public Works Committee followed with a 3-1 recommendation, and the City Council voted to approve the amended Planned Unit Development.

One entrance, a lot of game-day traffic

Olive Boulevard isn't just a neighborhood street — it's a primary artery for families heading to Chesterfield's growing cluster of youth sports venues. The Chesterfield First Community Athletic Complex, a 176-acre facility near N. Outer 40 Road, features 21 ball diamonds and 10 multi-purpose fields for soccer, football, lacrosse, and more, according to city records. It hosts roughly 40 tournaments per year, primarily baseball and softball.

That sports economy is no small thing. Youth sports tournaments generate an estimated $25 million annually for Chesterfield, according to city officials cited in a March 2026 First Alert 4 report. And demand keeps climbing: the Beal Center off Eatherton Road, a 73,000-square-foot indoor facility that opened around 2023, outgrew its nine-court layout within its first year of operation.

"If we had three more courts, we know between volleyball and basketball we could fill the space right away," said Stuart Duncan, board president of the Chesterfield Sports Association. "We wouldn't have thought building a nine-court facility of outgrowing that, but we have outgrown that, probably in the first year." Duncan said an expansion is already in the works.

More tournaments, more families on the road — and now, a new 59-home development merging onto Olive Boulevard from a single driveway. The city has approved the plan; whether the infrastructure keeps pace is the question families will be watching.
