Council denies variance for proposed RV storage at 406 Apollo Road after resident opposition
Summary
A motion to grant a variance for an RV storage facility at 406 Apollo Road failed for lack of a second after several council members and residents opposed the request; minutes note the Planning Commission previously voted 4–1 against the variance.
Councilman Bergeron moved to grant a variance to Chapter 40 of the Land Use Code to allow use of property at 406 Apollo Road for a new RV storage facility. Mr. Karl Short presented a site rendering and Mr. Dean Domingue, co-owner of the property, spoke in favor of the variance.
Several speakers opposed the request. Mr. Don Hargrave and Mr. Jacob Goodwin, both identified as residents, spoke against granting the variance. Councilman Boudreaux and Councilman Montoucet also stated they were not in favor. The minutes record that the Planning Commission had voted 4–1 at its October meeting not to grant the variance. The motion failed for lack of a second, and no variance was granted.
The record does not show a formal roll-call vote or indicate conditions under which the council might revisit a variance request for this parcel. Those seeking the variance may pursue further administrative or planning commission avenues if they wish to refile the request.
