Council approves rezoning of two Carroll Street parcels for office development
Summary
The council voted to rezone two Carroll Street parcels from residential to highway-commercial to allow an office building, and directed staff to correct and republish the legal notice; councilors reviewed maps and nearby uses during discussion.
The Picayune City Council approved a rezoning request for two parcels on Carroll Street, changing their designation from R-2 family residential to C-3 highway commercial to accommodate an office building.
Planning staff requested the council both approve the rezone and authorize correction and republication of the related legal notice. Council members reviewed a color map and asked whether the parcels lie near the new bridge and adjacent to existing highway-commercial uses, the Knights of Columbus and former business lots. A planner explained the owner intends to buy both parcels as a package so the office could be sited contiguous to highway-commercial zoning.
Council moved to approve the rezoning and republish the corrected notice; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. The council also authorized the mayor to sign related documents.
Why it matters: Rezoning changes the allowable uses on the parcels and clears the way for the applicant’s planned office development. Council discussion focused on location, compatibility with nearby businesses and ensuring proper legal notice.
What's next: Staff will finalize the public-notice republication and ensure execution of documents as authorized.
