Both variances were granted by the board.
Ascension Parish Planning Commission Meeting
Date: Sep 9, 2026Type: Meeting mention
The Planning Commission meeting addressed several key agenda items, including the rescheduling of a future meeting due to Veterans Day. Staff reports were provided regarding subdivision status. The commission approved consent agenda items, including affidavits of mortgage declarations, and held public hearings for family partitions and a preliminary plat for a new residential development known as 'The Farm'. Discussions involved detailed reviews of traffic studies, drainage analyses, and compliance with parish code for proposed developments.
The meeting focused on a zoning review for a 22-acre site to rezone property from medium intensity residential to mixed-use district for the development of a grocery-anchored retail center. Discussion topics included the potential impact on traffic congestion, drainage concerns, the proximity of the proposed development to the local high school, and the compatibility of the mixed-use designation with the surrounding area. There was also a discussion regarding the ability to apply conditions on an alcohol permit at the development stage, and the petitioner addressed concerns regarding potential site uses.
