At the June 16 special meeting the St. Martin Parish Council introduced three ordinances for publication.
Clerk Brooke Thibodeaux read Summary No. 1549‑OR, introduced by Council member Carla JeanBatiste, proposing an amendment to Chapter 19 (St. Martin Parish Zoning Ordinance), Appendix A, Schedule of Zoning District Regulations for the W‑2 district (Woodland/Floodplain — Recreational/Residential Uses). Summary No. 1550‑OR, also introduced by JeanBatiste, would reduce the extent of parish servitude rights from 100 feet to 40 feet on the western side of drainage channel L‑1G‑2 for a portion of Parcel Number 1820000661 and repeal Ordinance No. 26‑06‑1547‑OR.

Why it matters: Ordinance introductions place proposed local law changes on the council’s legislative track; each ordinance will proceed through required publication and subsequent readings or hearings as prescribed by parish rules before any changes take effect.
What’s next: The ordinances were introduced for publication at this meeting; no final votes were recorded. Future meetings will carry publication notices and any required hearings or votes.
