# Corridor Overlay District Review Team

The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury’s Corridor Overlay District Review Team met on September 30, 2026, to consider development and signage variances. It approved a request for two wall signs at the Access Urgent Care shopping-center site; approved a car-wash landscaping variance with conditions, including planting shrubs in the street-yard area and retaining required trees elsewhere; and approved a funeral-home landscaping request with amendments, including relocating street-yard trees and installing and maintaining a shrub hedge along the western property line. The KJP Investors request to waive street-yard trees was also considered, with staff recommending approval subject to site-plan compliance, but the transcript does not clearly capture the final vote. Members also discussed whether an existing freestanding sign at that site complied with prior approvals and said they would review the file.

The team rejected, 4–0, a request to allow gravel driveways for a proposed batting-training facility. The applicant’s representative cited estimated costs of about $80,000 for gravel versus $130,000 for asphalt, but the panel maintained the overlay requirement for hard-surfaced parking and driveways visible from the public road. No government purchases, contract awards, or procurement actions were identified; the proceedings concerned land-use and development approvals.
