Livingston Zoning 10 01 26

Livingston Parish Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, held October 1, 2026 (the metadata date is October 2 UTC): The commission approved the September 3 minutes and considered multiple zoning-change requests. It recommended approval of the Kelly Road AG-to-R1 request (Case 26-54) and the North Doyle Road R2-to-R1.5 request (Case 26-55); the latter discussion also raised concerns about consistency with the future land-use map and the need to revisit the master plan. The commission recommended approval of a change from R1 to C1 on LA Highway 16 for a proposed small shopping center, and supported additional residential rezonings, including a request intended to allow a daughter to place a mobile home. These were recommendations for Parish Council consideration, not final council decisions.

The most extensive debate concerned Case 26-60, a request to rezone agricultural land on Duncan Bluff Road to R2 for a proposed development in the Carter Plantation area. Residents cited potential effects on drainage, traffic, schools, the environment, and the area’s conservation designation; the applicant estimated a potential development of about 125 lots and said detailed plans and studies would come later. The commission recommended approval by a 4–2 vote. The transcript also records discussion of a P Ridge Road request, but does not clearly establish its final disposition. No procurement, contract awards, purchasing decisions, or spending actions were identified.
