The Morgan City Planning Commission voted to forward a favorable recommendation on Ordinance 26-14, a proposed general-plan amendment affecting parcel 00-00057-5520, a 0.97-acre lot behind the Ace Hardware store. Jake (staff) told the commission the property is currently designated medium‑density residential in the future-use map but "it really is a property that could go either way," and staff sees no issue with commercial use given visibility from State Street.
Applicant Ryan Nye described the site as suitable for commercial use because of visibility and access, saying, "I think it's a good spot to to have a some commercial there." Commissioners discussed access and easements and noted the city-owned parcel that provides potential connectivity; the commission voted unanimously to recommend the general-plan amendment to the City Council. The recommendation will go to Council for final action; separate site-plan and access agreements would be required before building permits are issued.
