Planning Commission recommends pole barn at 1219 Elma Road for farm equipment
Summary
The commission recommended approval for a roughly 40' x 80' pole barn at 1219 Elma Road (Vacherie), finding the agricultural use compatible with surrounding uses despite the Residential Growth designation; approval includes a 24-month start condition.
The Planning Commission on March 30 recommended that Gravois LC, LLC be allowed to construct an approximately 40-foot by 80-foot pole barn at 1219 Elma Road in Vacherie for farm equipment storage. The property is in an area designated Residential Growth; the commission considered the request under Section 82-25(e) and concluded the proposed agricultural use is compatible with nearby agricultural uses and carried the motion by roll call.
The resolution limits the approval to the specific pole barn as presented and requires that construction or operation commence within 24 months after the final public-entity approvals or appeal resolution. The minutes state that the commission considered buffer requirements and found them unnecessary based on the scale and compatibility described in the application.
