Planning and Zoning Meeting 9/15/26

The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury Planning and Zoning Board held a meeting on September 15, 2026, addressing several zoning and land use applications. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of a borrow pit permit for Warren Vandiver on Rebel Loop, with the board amending the permit duration from three years to two years to address community concerns about potential extended operations and truck traffic. The board also approved rezoning requests for commercial and industrial uses, including a contractor shop and storage yard, a convenience store with professional offices, and expansions to recreational vehicle parks. Additionally, a site plan amendment was approved to facilitate the sale of property to the Carlos Fire Department for a new facility. The board imposed conditions on developments to ensure compliance with site plans, lighting, drainage, and screening requirements. A motion to allow a bed and breakfast home on Timber Lane was denied due to neighborhood opposition and concerns about changing the residential character. Overall, the meeting focused on land use approvals with attention to community impact and development conditions.
