The St. Charles Parish Planning and Zoning Commission voted down a rezoning request for Clayton Drive in Norco during its July 9 meeting, following opposition from a number of residents and the Norco Civic Association. The commission also recommended approval of a rezoning request near Lagattuta Estates in Luling after residents raised concerns about drainage and street access. The Clayton Drive request, filed by Stein Management, LLC, sought to rezone Lots 1 and 2 of Good Hope Plantation from R1A to R1AM, a change that would have allowed mobile and modular homes on the property. Residents spoke against the change, including a Norco resident who argued against allowing mobile and modular homes in established neighborhoods. Another resident spoke against the rezoning, and a third resident spoke in opposition and against allowing mobile homes in the neighborhood. The commission's files included eleven letters of opposition. Because the commission recommended denial rather than approval, the request is not expected to proceed further, though residents who submitted letters of opposition may want to confirm the final outcome when the matter reaches the St. Charles Parish Council. The rezoning request near Lagattuta Estates Subdivision, at the termini of Terri and Diane Drive in Luling, was filed by Robert Gilbert and would change zoning on Lots 1, 2 and 3 from R1A to OL. A resident spoke against the rezoning, citing family history with the property. Another resident spoke in favor, saying the change would help a prospective buyer rebuild on the property. A third resident spoke against the rezoning, raising concerns about street access and drainage, and a fourth resident spoke against it, citing drainage and flooding concerns near his property. A representative for the applicant spoke in favor, describing plans for two family homes and horse stables, and disputed claims that the project would worsen drainage. The commission recommended the rezoning for approval, but no drainage or street-access plan was finalized at this meeting, since only the zoning change was under consideration. The request now goes to the St. Charles Parish Council for final action, and residents near Diane and Terri Drives may want to follow future construction and permitting steps on the property. The commission also recommended approval of a rezoning request for Lot 6 in the Village of Hahnville, at River Road in Hahnville, filed by Billy Butler for Moore New Homes, LLC, changing the zoning from C2 to R1A. That request also moves to the parish council for final action. The commission turned down a sign-size waiver request for a business in the Highway 90 Corridor Overlay Zone in Luling, tied to Permit No. 51265 at 12371 Highway 90, Suite A. A resident spoke in favor of the waiver, arguing that the location made a larger sign necessary for visibility. No further action or appeal process was mentioned at the meeting. In other business, the commission approved a special permit allowing R1A residential use in a C3 commercial district on Highway 19 in Des Allemands. It also approved two minor resubdivisions: one splitting a single lot into two at 206 4th Street in Luling, and another splitting a single lot into three on Dunlith Court in Destrehan. Neither drew public comment.
