Zoning Commission - June 10, 2026

The Ascension Parish Zoning Commission held a meeting on June 10, 2026, primarily to discuss a zoning application for lots 1 and 2 of the Shealy Place subdivision submitted by Jennifer Myzell. The applicant requested to rezone the property from residential to Crossroads Commercial to legitimize a car wash and other commercial uses on the site. Staff recommended denial of the rezoning due to the property's designation as a residential neighborhood in the Ascension Parish Vision Map and concerns about spot zoning. Commissioners discussed alternative zoning options, including Mixed Use Two, which might better suit the property and avoid spot zoning issues. The applicant ultimately chose to withdraw the rezoning request to explore other options with zoning staff. No votes were taken on the rezoning itself, and the meeting concluded with acceptance of the withdrawal and no further procurement or budget-related matters discussed.
