Broussard council introduces subdivision buffer, zoning change and accepts minutes; no public opposition recorded
Summary
At its March 25 meeting the Broussard City Council voted to introduce Ordinance 25-823 (subdivision regulation buffer between residential and industrial uses) and Ordinance 25-824 (rezoning parcel on Abasis Parkway from multifamily residential to community commercial). The council also approved acceptance of the March 11 meeting minutes.
The Broussard City Council on March 25 voted to introduce two ordinances and approved acceptance of the minutes from its March 11 meeting.
Ordinance 25-823 would amend subdivision regulations to establish a buffer between residential lots and adjacent industrial or light-industrial properties, prohibiting certain residential uses within the buffer. A council member identified as Gerald explained the draft allows a buffer ranging from about 50 feet up to 300 feet, with the Planning Commission given discretion to set the specific buffer width based on the nature of the industrial use (for example, larger buffers for facilities with open fires and smaller buffers for warehouses).
Ordinance 25-824 proposes rezoning property located on Abasis Parkway at Burlington North Railroad from multifamily residential to community commercial. The council packet included a map for the proposed change; no public comment on either introduction was recorded.
The council also voted to accept the March 11 meeting minutes.
Votes recorded at the meeting: acceptance of minutes — unanimous approval (Districts 1–6 and At large); Ordinance 25-823 introduction — unanimous approval; Ordinance 25-824 introduction — unanimous approval. No public opponents spoke on the two zoning items during the March 25 meeting.
