Plaquemines council rejects business occupancy permit for Cajun Crushing & Demolition
Summary
A resolution to approve a special business-occupancy permit for Cajun Crushing & Demolition at 127 Bayou Road in Belle Chasse failed on a roll call vote; recorded tally was 1 yes, 5 no, 1 abstention and 1 absent.
A proposal to issue a special business‑occupancy permit to Cajun Crushing & Demolition to operate an industrial yard for aggregate stockpiles and equipment staging at 127 Bayou Road in Belle Chasse was defeated by the Plaquemines Parish Council on April 9, 2026.
Resolution No. 26-138 was moved and considered on the record; the digest in the minutes says the owner sought approval to stockpile aggregate and stage equipment with no crushing at the yard. On roll call the minutes show Council Member Ronnie Newsom voted "YES," five members voted "NO," Council Member Mitch Jurisich recorded an abstention, and Council Member Patricia L. McCarty was absent, producing a failed outcome.
The council minutes do not record further debate or specific reasons for the "NO" votes or the abstention. Because the motion failed, no special permit was issued and no conditions were recorded as imposed.
Next steps: the applicant may revise the application or return for reconsideration in a later meeting; the minutes record that the digest and application numbers are on file with the Department of Permits, Planning & Zoning.
