P&Z approves rezoning for short-term rental at 208 Poet Street
Summary
The Natchitoches Planning & Zoning Commission approved an application to rezone a small, previously vacant home at 208 Poet Street for use as a short-term rental; applicant’s manager confirmed compliance with Ordinance No. 26 of 2024 and parking adjustments. The recommendation will be introduced to city council Dec. 8 and voted on Jan. 12.
The Natchitoches Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously approved a rezoning request from Frank Griffin to allow a short-term rental at 208 Poet Street.
Stevania Price, a realtor and property manager representing Frank Griffin, said the small house had been vacant and is already divided into three units; the owner intends to use the property as a short-term rental and will manage it in compliance with local rules. Price told the commission the property has existing, compliant parking and that the plan includes re-graveling an original parking area. The planning director said she had received no adverse inquiries and that the application complies with Ordinance No. 26 of 2024 governing short-term rentals.
Commissioners had no substantive questions; a motion to approve passed by voice vote. The chair said the commission’s recommendation will be introduced to the city council on Dec. 8 and is scheduled for final council action on Jan. 12. The planning director confirmed the applicant should pursue any required permits and follow historic-district approvals already discussed for the parking work.
