Powell council approves annexation of 2.5 acres for Durand Family Investment LLC
Summary
Council accepted the zoning commission’s recommendation to annex 2.5 acres belonging to Durand Family Investment LLC into city limits and zone it R-2 residential; the motion passed at the July 14 meeting.
The Powell City Council on July 14 accepted a zoning commission recommendation to annex 2.5 acres owned by Durand Family Investment LLC into the city’s corporate limits and zone the parcel residential R-2.
Zoning staff described the parcel as a triangular, previously landlocked 2.5-acre site in the southeast quarter of Section 36, Township 5 North, Range 1 West (Rapides Parish). The staff presentation said the property backs up to existing duplex developments and that the petitioner, J.D. Durand, had sought annexation so the lot could be developed consistent with adjacent units. "We recommended approval," the zoning presenter said.
A council member moved to accept the commission’s recommendation and the motion was seconded. After a roll call, the mayor announced the motion passed.
The action was characterized in the meeting as administrative: staff said the property is already developed and annexation will formally bring the lots into the municipal zoning and permitting process. No conditions or amendments were recorded during the meeting.
