The preliminary plan and rezoning request (to B-3 General Commercial) covered approximately 12.61 acres and proposed a filling station with food service, office/flex space and a self-storage component, among other general commercial uses. The applicant said he would own and operate the development and that he met with nearby residents prior to the hearing; three nearby residents attended staff meetings and expressed questions at that time, the applicant said.

Multiple nearby residents and property owners spoke at the public hearing raising concerns about increased commercial intensity on a largely rural-agricultural corridor, drainage and traffic impacts on Lovett Road, and the cumulative presence of similar commercial uses along the corridor. One speaker, Wayne Messina, summarized economic concerns, telling the commission he was wary of over-saturating the market and noted traffic congestion and future roundabout plans on Lovett and Sullivan could affect access.

Commissioners said the project would require additional information—including off-site drainage analysis (ODA), traffic impact studies and detailed site design—and several commissioners noted the city is in the midst of a master-plan update that could reclassify future land uses. Given those open questions and mixed views among commissioners about the intensity and location of B-3 uses, members voted to defer the application so the developer could return after additional work and to allow the master plan process to advance.

The deferral vote carried on roll call; the applicant agreed to return later with additional studies and to coordinate with staff on timing.","A proposal for a 12.61-acre commercial development (gas station, convenience store, offices, self-storage and other general commercial uses) at the northwest corner of Sullivan and Lovett roads was deferred to the November 2025 meeting for further study and to allow the master plan update to proceed.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6184153,"Neighbors challenge 64‑lot Reserve at Sullivan PUD; commission recommends denial",3504,1568000,5072000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5092877-ce18ce6a512bb247aa1d6f501ffb0424&start=1568&end=5072","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5092877-ce18ce6a512bb247aa1d6f501ffb0424/thumbnail_1568000.jpg","/articles/6184153/Central/East-Baton-Rouge-Parish/Louisiana/Neighbors-challenge-64lot-Reserve-at-Sullivan-PUD-commission-recommends-denial","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184153-c5d3527c17a4b2c7e88c62cb0bbbe3fc/orig.mp4?Expires=1773570464&Signature=Dslxcp~TdD24ion02Tqv4PGvFUYOW7PdnWrwO5zuMgZJ7FVBxtnCmLzjkhycRKFhkwIkyAEJUMFcwT79yL9PTRy2Cg5XnhgSuRCoJI6DJghbLIYfYsJySO0MpyPDwfRpySnjkcxdDwmrgrNGppAw5cuzVpkj3yp4mtu1QYcFETlC88ZNY1Brt~GWfIeTmzpgjcopoqmmdeQ3YZV~-tO6FoQstWXU~FpRoblCnAx5673S91ZSOeFL2oT3PiIox1ajn9YRjbSunoHNvu-I~TikGqywsz4JxTPqlZvr6kzAJ057GwaX7Y7Mk6tkV6iEpRhRjwHJXuxmlhfinRnQABt5nA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The planning commission on Tuesday recommended denial of a preliminary planned-unit development named the Reserve at Sullivan (PD2501D), a proposal for 64 single-family lots south of Ridgetide Avenue and the southern end of Ravenwood Drive.

Neighbors turned out in force and voiced objections at a lengthy public hearing focused on traffic, flooding, drainage capacity and safety. Boston Weimer, a nearby resident, told the commission, \"The math on this with 64 lots would be assuming they have at least 2 cars each would add an extra 128 cars to our neighborhood,\" and said high-school cut-through traffic already strains the neighborhood.

Applicant Jeff Diamond of Quality Engineering and Surveying described the project as concentrated on the northern portion of a 31.14-acre tract and said the design preserved a substantial area as green space and detention, adding that a detailed drainage impact study and traffic study would be required at the next stage. Diamond said the conceptual packet contained a preliminary traffic estimate and that a net-density calculator the city uses could support up to 108 lots for that site, but the applicant was proposing only 64 lots.

Commissioners cited safety, existing neighborhood traffic patterns and questions about sewer capacity and conveyance-zone impacts when discussing the project. Several commissioners said that, despite the preliminary nature of the plan, they could not support the current layout without a second access or clearer assurances about drainage and emergency access. After discussion, the commission voted and recorded a recommendation for denial.

Commissioners and staff emphasized that preliminary approval is not a construction authorization: final approval would require detailed drainage analysis, traffic mitigation recommendations and demonstration of sewer capacity, and those studies would be executed and reviewed before permits could be issued.

The applicant and neighbors discussed potential mitigations, including a temporary construction entrance, conservation easements for the southern portion of the property, and routing construction traffic to avoid imposed burdens on the existing subdivision. The commission recommended denial at the preliminary stage; the matter will be placed on the record for city council consideration in July as part of the regular review process.","Residents raised traffic, flooding and safety concerns at a public hearing for a 64‑lot preliminary planned-unit development (PUD) on the south end of Ravenwood Drive; the planning commission recommended denial after public comment and commissioner review.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6184157,"Rezoning request for 9156 Jewell Road fails after commission hearing over U-Haul, future uses",716,833000,1549000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5092877-ce18ce6a512bb247aa1d6f501ffb0424&start=833&end=1549","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5092877-ce18ce6a512bb247aa1d6f501ffb0424/thumbnail_833000.jpg","/articles/6184157/Central/East-Baton-Rouge-Parish/Louisiana/Rezoning-request-for-9156-Jewell-Road-fails-after-commission-hearing-over-U-Haul-future-uses","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184157-638347e177e7841e054e685d59c130b5/orig.mp4?Expires=1773570464&Signature=VYOBkyQKFv5kPJ-7sfHAoWYV5tBFOmqKi4njW22GO2F7P9qq1P5jdOmKF6lU7k83wwFWDzdaBclT41Ff31iRhalVeK-BlJjZ9lmUBxY~59mGg3e53oKSIe4Jid9ZpJMKYxTSF7EQvSfVCmHouHFSVaRRnIU-xQvKHZ6lvMadsUL~Meoxc8C1C18WgZcYJvfmL8b1NdwVZaYm35Lgd0XrJGVJLerimyAtVOSMlcxbC061RAMbwj9EwIJ2FOY0r8tebnAN5Ot0-F259rqbYlno~Spv4-W30F-vWQjcHthOkv1pxYt8le6caO6rbZdimjWRTzGskkokxhx0xogmpLcTmA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Central Zoning Commission voted down a rezoning request for Track H1 at 9156 Jewell Road that would have changed the parcel from B-2 Neighborhood Commercial to B-3 General Commercial.

Applicant Tangela McPike told the commission she operates a thrift store on the site and sought B-3 to allow vehicle uses she said were necessary for her operation, including larger trucks for pickups and a potential U-Haul rental/distributorship. \"The intent is to be able to, place the truck and things like that to be able to, assist in bringing in property,\" McPike said during the hearing.

Several commissioners and members of staff expressed concern that rezoning to B-3 would permit a wider range of commercial uses—some commissioners called that range incompatible with the surrounding B-2 parcels—and that rezoning would change the long-term character of the area if the current tenant vacated. The staff report noted that some uses the applicant described are not explicitly listed in the code and were treated as similar uses associated with B-3.

A motion to approve was seconded and put to a roll call. The motion did not pass; commissioners recorded both yes and no votes and the application failed at the commission level, meaning it will not carry a recommendation for approval to city council from this hearing.

The commission discussed alternatives that could allow McPike to pursue specific vehicle-related uses without a full B-3 rezoning—such as a conditional or limited approval tied to a single use—but commissioners and the applicant noted limits on the commission’s authority to impose permanent use restrictions on a rezoning. The transcript shows a clear split: supporters felt the thrift-store and rental option could be compatible; opponents worried rezoning would set a precedent allowing more intense commercial uses to encroach on a predominantly B-2 area.","The commission rejected a request to rezone a parcel at 9156 Jewell Road from B-2 (Neighborhood Commercial) to B-3 (General Commercial) after discussion about how the broader set of allowed uses in B-3 could change the character of the area.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6184162,"Zoning commission approves 195-foot Verizon monopole with conditions",288,510000,798000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5092877-ce18ce6a512bb247aa1d6f501ffb0424&start=510&end=798","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5092877-ce18ce6a512bb247aa1d6f501ffb0424/thumbnail_510000.jpg","/articles/6184162/Central/East-Baton-Rouge-Parish/Louisiana/Zoning-commission-approves-195-foot-Verizon-monopole-with-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6184162-5eb8446753e1430b6846edca73befffd/orig.mp4?Expires=1773570464&Signature=mVFGk14mu3qeUJfAeIeG67J89-rSA7IycG7EylMshTL7WcUvB3ZE63Q9bt8bFp0dFb4arklRagUy2R6PwCxqC8GzXE3mXV9~-DquiD7YNco1vLfqigOnldomMaKNoWzqKEpeiObiFblCJWruqf~A8ckW5eeP7TrBYvA5~7neVLRDEEZYXBKbIocqKs-qRDXopBdnYgQcrJARjKPq0fxq6aKtBROio7-N~7xCNjzg6lHaG4i2~v6FGqyuMnIT0elg6g8p-Gq9pS5DFNg8E~AW3OyaVcr2k7kw7CjzRHKGza8bFc7bhMk4mfqz8hEUFACJqqE~Ah5gNwEGu7h2JNzT5w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Central Zoning Commission on Tuesday approved a conditional-use permit and height waiver for a proposed Verizon wireless facility at 15194 Jewell Road.

The commission granted the permit for a 195-foot monopole designed to host three carriers, allowing other wireless providers to co-locate on the structure. The approval followed staff presentation that the application met the minimum requirements for commission consideration and after commissioners asked about design, camouflage and abandonment provisions.

Staff had included 14 standard conditions in its recommendation packet, including measures to make equipment and fencing compatible with surrounding development and to meet the city’s engineering and safety standards. Commissioners asked the applicant about camouflage options; the applicant said the tower will be a monopole rather than a faux-tree design and that the site will include screening around the base. The commission noted an existing local removal requirement that, if a tower is not brought into service within the required period, the structure must be removed (the record showed a 180-day abandonment removal timeframe in local practice).

Commissioners moved and seconded approval and carried the motion in roll call vote.

The approval allows the applicant to proceed to the next permitting steps; it does not authorize construction until required building, engineering and safety approvals are obtained and the conditions set by staff are satisfied.

The commission also discussed whether the city requires financial assurance for removal; staff indicated no such bond was included in the standard conditions for this permit.

The site’s owner is listed as Barry Lane Bennett Jr.; the applicant on record is Verizon (Ryan Shahan). The action was recorded as a conditional-use approval with a height waiver subject to staff conditions and later permitting actions.","The City of Central zoning commission approved a conditional-use permit and height waiver for a 195-foot Verizon monopole at 15194 Jewell Road, imposing standard site and abandonment conditions and requiring compliance with staff stipulations.","actionData","errors"]
