Planning Commission conditions Coastal Process 3 final site plan on Coastal Oaks Industrial Park construction‑plan approval

At the Livingston Parish Planning Commission meeting commissioners approved a final site plan for a lot within the Coastal Oaks Industrial Park subject to an explicit engineering contingency: the lot’s on‑site drainage connections and detention cannot be constructed until the industrial park’s construction plans are approved.

Engineering staff (Morgan) told the commission the lot’s detention ultimately ties into the industrial‑park pond that was reviewed as part of the park’s drainage impact study. Morgan recommended approval of the final site plan on the condition that the park’s construction plans are reviewed and approved by engineering at the same time, so that the pond and related drainage infrastructure are constructed in a coordinated manner.

Craig Corey (Monroe & Corey), the applicant representative, confirmed the lot is within the larger Coastal Oaks subdivision and that his client intends to construct a building on the lot; engineering clarified the lot cannot proceed independently to construct drainage elements until the park-level construction plans are approved.

Commissioners discussed the contingency and voted to approve the final site plan for the lot with the contingency in place. The motion directs planning and engineering to withhold any permit for on‑site drainage construction for the lot until engineering has approved the Coastal Oaks Industrial Park construction plans and related permits.

The commission’s action preserves engineering’s control over downstream drainage integration; it also places a scheduling dependency on the industrial park developer to finalize construction plans before lot‑level work may commence.
