Planning & Zoning Meeting 8/18/26

The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury Planning & Zoning meeting held on August 18, 2026, focused primarily on land use and zoning matters. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of an extension for the Porter's Cove subdivision master plan, allowing the developer additional time to complete the project with conditions to ensure timely completion. Another significant item was the rezoning of a property on Jim Pickens Road from agricultural to light industrial to permit a contractor shop and trucking business, with conditions on lighting and screening to mitigate impact on adjacent properties. Additionally, the board approved a rezoning agreement related to Citgo Petroleum Corporation's property, requiring future development approvals. Motions for all these items passed unanimously, reflecting the board's support for these development and land use initiatives. No direct contract awards or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting.
