Council approves conditional use for Kigo International Cuisine at 357 W. Esplanade
Summary
After a planning presentation and confirmation of sufficient parking and a neighborhood meeting with no objections, Kenner City Council unanimously approved planning case P226 authorizing a new fast‑food restaurant called Kigo International Cuisine at 357 West Esplanade Avenue.
Planning staff presented planning case P226 April 17: a conditional‑use permit for a fast‑food restaurant to be operated as Kigo International Cuisine at 357 West Esplanade Avenue. The planner summarized the development context (shopping center with existing retail/restaurants), said the site was originally developed as a planned unit development in the 1980s with the special ordinance requiring council approval for fast‑food uses, and confirmed that required parking would be met (estimated need: 10–13 spaces; site provides ~220 spaces). Staff noted an early neighborhood meeting held Jan. 20, 2026 with two neighbors attending and no issues reported; planning commission recommended approval. Council opened and closed the public hearing without comments, then voted to approve the conditional use by recorded voice vote.
