Board backs commercial zoning updates after months of staff and stakeholder work
Summary
The board recommended updates to C-2 and C-3 commercial zoning definitions and supplemental regulations following a multi-month stakeholder process; staff said the changes are largely organizational and do not alter land rights but will be forwarded to council for adoption.
Planning staff told the board that the proposed amendments to the St. Charles Parish zoning ordinance clarify definitions and update use regulations for C-2 and C-3 commercial districts after months of internal drafting and stakeholder input.
Staff (Staubert) said the revisions followed multiple meetings, a work group and prior legislative-committee reviews and that the changes are mostly organizational, grouping and clarifying existing categories rather than altering land rights. A resident who helped participate in earlier hearings expressed support for the updates. The board thanked staff for the outreach, voted unanimously to recommend the ordinance updates, and noted that the municipal code online may be slow to reflect the changes even after council action.
