Planning commission approves multiple rezoning requests, including West Virginia Boulevard and York Ranch Road parcels
Summary
The commission approved rezoning requests for parcels on West Virginia Boulevard, York Ranch Road and Max Mercer Road after brief presentations; the commission recorded motions and carried votes for each item.
The St. Tammany Parish Planning Commission approved three zoning requests after staff and petitioners presented details and commissioners posed brief questions.
Item 1 (ZC 2026-4514): Petitioner Robert Como (Sako Inc.) asked to rezone two parcels bisected by the Austin Boulevard Extension from Neighborhood Commercial (NC) to Highway Commercial (C-1) to match adjacent zoning. Commissioners approved the rezoning after a short discussion.
Item 2 (ZC 2026-4521): Jeff Shain, representing McCall LLC (owner Sam Kemp), requested rezoning 1.89 acres from R-2 Rural Residential to L1 Large-Lot Residential to allow creation of a one-acre lot for a family home; commissioners approved the request.
Item 3 (ZC 2026-4524): Petitioner Susan Howell requested downzoning 2.160 acres from HQ2 to L1 with a rural overlay to allow construction of a single-family residence; commissioners approved the change.
Votes at a glance: all three motions carried in favor (transcript records "motion to approve carries"). No formal amendments or conditions were recorded in the commission's announcements for these items. Engineering and subdivision procedures remain prerequisites for any building permits.
