Board grants extension for Porters Cove subdivision master plan

The Calcasieu Parish Planning and Zoning Board approved a request from Porters Cove LLC to extend the deadline to complete the Porters Cove subdivision master plan for property on the 2900 block of Clyde Delaney Road in Ward 1.

Planning staff summarized the history of the project, saying the master plan was originally approved in 2016 with an eight-year completion window and that "due to significant challenges, the applicant was unable to complete the master plan within that time frame." Staff recommended granting the extension with the condition that "the approved Porter's Cove subdivision master plan dated 08/02/2016 shall be fully completed within 8 years from the date of board's approval and of the time extension." The board voted to approve the motion after staff remarks and without public opposition.

The condition sets a firm completion timetable tied to the board's approval of the extension. No additional details were provided at the meeting about what the applicant described as the "significant challenges" or whether the extension will trigger any further compliance reports to planning staff. The board did not record a roll-call vote in the minutes beyond the chair's announcement that the motion passed.
