Commission conditionally approves two‑family building plan at 440 Magnolia
Summary
Star Corporation presented plans for a two‑story, two‑family building at 440 Magnolia. Staff found the project did not meet certain residential spacing rules and recommended approval conditioned on satisfying engineering punch‑list items and obtaining a rear‑yard variance; the commission approved the staff‑conditioned recommendation.
Star Corporation on Oct. 16 presented plans to place a two‑family residential building on a single parcel at 440 Magnolia Street in a C‑2 general commercial zoning district. The Houma–Terrebonne Planning staff reported the proposed duplex did not meet residential building‑spacing requirements in chapter 28, article 5 and recommended approval conditioned on the applicant resolving engineering punch‑list items and obtaining a rear‑yard variance from the Board of Adjustments if required.
Planner Henry Lucio, introduced as a new planner with prior parish experience, delivered the staff report; staff confirmed the developer submitted architectural elevations on Sept. 30. The site plan showed the proposed building would not meet required building spacing and that Building 2 on the same parcel would require a separate application.
Commission action: The commission approved the staff recommendation, conditioned upon the applicant satisfying engineering requirements and receiving any necessary variance from the Board of Adjustments. The approval did not itself grant a variance.
Ending: Staff will work with the applicant to resolve engineering and building‑spacing issues and to guide the applicant to the Board of Adjustments, if necessary, for any required variance.
