Livingston Parish panel approves Lockhart Road rezoning after clarifying applicant intent
Summary
The Livingston Parish Zoning Commission approved rezoning for a Lockhart Road parcel (case 25-58) from R-2 to R-1 after clarifying the applicant's intent — commissioners said the request allows multiple single-family houses, not multifamily apartments.
The Livingston Parish Zoning Commission voted Dec. 2 to approve a rezoning request for parcel 0569889 on Lockhart Road (case 25-58), changing the designation from R-2 to R-1.
The request was considered in a public hearing with no representative presenting formal testimony. Commissioners discussed the applicant's use of the term “multifamily” and clarified the intent was to allow multiple single-family houses on the subdivided lots. The chair said the applicant “used the wrong terminology” and that the proposal was for multiple houses rather than apartment-style multifamily structures.
Commissioners moved to approve the rezoning; the motion passed on a recorded vote by the commissioners present. Department staff offered no objection on record during the hearing, and no formal conditions were attached at the commission level. The change will follow normal administrative steps required for final parish approval.
The zoning change affects Council District 3 and was described in the hearing as intended to permit residential development consistent with surrounding uses. The commission recorded the vote in open session and closed the hearing after the motion carried.
