Summary
The commission adopted Ordinance 66-29 to rezone property on the west side of Cypress Garden Road (about 681 feet south of Willow Ridge Road) in District 9 from RMHP (residential manufactured home park) to RA (rural agricultural); commissioners voted to adopt the remainder of the agenda in a global motion (recorded as ten in support, one opposition, one absent).
The Caddo Parish Commission voted to adopt Ordinance 66-29, which rezones a parcel on the west side of Cypress Garden Road (approximately 681 feet south of Willow Ridge Road) in District 9 from RMHP (residential manufactured home park) to RA (rural agricultural).
The clerk read the ordinance’s description into the record and opened a public hearing; no members of the public spoke for or against the item, and the hearing was closed. Commissioner John Atkins spoke in support, noting limited current use of the area near Wallace Lake and endorsing the change.
Later in the meeting Commissioner Stefan Jones moved to "global and adopt" the remainder of the agenda; the clerk recorded the motion as passed with ten in support, one in opposition and one absent. A commissioner asked about lease-term details for a separate ordinance (66-36); staff replied the terms were still being worked out.
What happens next: Ordinance 66-29 is adopted and becomes part of the Caddo Parish Unified Development Code; related permitting and implementation will follow parish planning procedures.
