Iberia Parish Council approves airport FAA funding, multiple zoning and planning items on consent agenda
Summary
At its Aug. 27 meeting the Iberia Parish Council approved an FAA-funded $500,000 Airport Authority budget adjustment, multiple rezoning and plat approvals (including 14.87 acres reclassified to industrial), and adopted several resolutions and appointments on the consent agenda; most items passed on unanimous voice/machine votes.
The Iberia Parish Council approved a slate of consent-agenda items and budget adjustments during its Aug. 27 meeting in New Iberia.
Key approved items included an Airport Authority fund budget adjustment of $500,000 from federal FAA sources for an air traffic control tower renovation (100% FAA-funded) and an ordinance reclassifying 14.87 acres owned by Coastal Timbers Inc. at Port Road and Larson Road in District 13 from A-1 agricultural to I-1 industrial (zoning staff described surrounding industrial context). The consent agenda also carried a resolution authorizing a cooperative agreement renewal for use of space by the 16th Judicial District Court for the parish adult drug court program, a resolution authorizing a certification to waive lane-use regulations for temporary housing permitting, and multiple preliminary and final plat approvals to subdivide parcels for residential and industrial use as listed in the planning commission reports.
Councilors removed a condolences resolution from the consent agenda for brief remarks about former district councilman Glenn Romero Sr., then passed the remaining consent items after routine discussion. Several planning and subdivision items were presented as recommended by the Iberia Parish Regional Planning Commission and passed subject to compliance with staff reports.
What happened in committee: the council opened and approved the consent agenda by motion; where a specific vote was recorded the chair announced "motion carries," but detailed roll-call tallies were not provided in the meeting record for most items.
What’s next: items affecting land use will proceed to required administrative steps and recordation as noted in planning staff reports.
