Council approves exception to allow mobile home at 309 E. Thomas St.
Summary
The Sulphur City Council granted an exception (Ordinance 66-25) allowing a mobile home at 309 East Thomas Street, finding the property nonconforming after Hurricane Laura and aligning with the city's neighborhood commercial master plan.
The Sulphur City Council on Aug. 11 approved Ordinance 66-25 to grant an exception allowing a mobile home at 309 East Thomas Street in a business district.
The applicant, identified in the record as Anne Marie Peggo Keever, told the council the site previously had a mobile home that was removed after Hurricane Laura and that she was not aware a replacement had to occur within one year; she said she has started repairs to the lot and requested the exception (Transcript). City staff (Austin) confirmed that after removal of a grandfathering clause several years earlier the property now requires a formal exception to permit the mobile home in a business-zoned parcel. Staff also noted the proposal aligns with the city's master plan designation for neighborhood commercial areas that mix residential and business uses.
A motion and second were made and the council took a roll-call vote that carried, approving the exception (Item 7). Council members did not record additional conditions in the meeting minutes beyond the procedural approval.
The vote authorizes the applicant to place a mobile home on the site subject to any permitting and inspection processes required by the city’s zoning and building codes.
