Livingston Parish commissioners approve rezoning for Case 25-21 in District 8

Livingston Parish zoning commissioners on June 5, 2025, approved a rezoning request identified as Case 25-21 for a property in District 8, moving the parcel from its current residential designation to mixed-use zoning following a short public hearing.

Raymond Mullins, representing McClintyler, told the commission the property hosts a variety of businesses and uses and that the applicant seeks mixed-use zoning to reflect that variety. Mullins said examples of uses on or proposed for the site include a gas station, restaurant, RV parking, and retail such as a boutique.

A member of zoning staff who inspected the site said the building referred to locally as "the White House" is being converted from a residence to a bridal boutique and wedding venue; the staff member added that other uses described by the applicant already exist on the property. During questions, Commissioner Clemens asked whether the applicant intended to create new residences on the property; Mullins responded there was no intention to add new residences.

After the public hearing closed, Commissioner Dana moved to approve the rezoning for Case 25-21; Commissioner Burns seconded the motion. The roll call vote recorded six affirmative votes (Mister Engler; Mister Clemens; Mister Wax; Mister Dana; Mister Burns; Miss Long) and no negatives or abstentions, and the motion carried. The parish attorney was not present at the meeting. No additional planning comments were recorded on the transcript.

The commission’s approval changes the official zoning designation for the parcel identified in Case 25-21 to mixed-use; the transcript does not specify any additional conditions, effective dates, or next administrative steps for implementation.
