CONSISTENCY WITH COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

The proposal supports the following goals and objectives of the Land Use element:

Goal 3, Objective 4: “Promote infill redevelopment in neighborhoods with greater potential for multiple modes of mobility because of proximity to fixed facilities such as transit or bicycle routes.”

Goal 11, Objective 3: “Provide sites and areas where businesses can locate and thrive.”

FINDINGS

1. The purpose of this request is to create 21 new lots of record from former railroad right-of-way, portions of land also known as Parcel 11-3 and Parcel 12-1, a portion of a 30-ft. road, and the north portion of original Square 122, Shrewsbury Subdivision (Lots B-1 through B-6, C-1 through C-8, and D-1 through D-6). The proposed subdivision also includes the dedication of a 50-ft. right-of-way for an existing unnamed road and the dedication of a 25 ft. drainage servitude on new Lot B-6.

2. Sec. 33-2.31.2 requires subdivisions involving more than two acres of land or 10 lots of record to be approved by the Jefferson Parish Council. The petitioned site contains approximately 2.66 acres and is creating 21 lots of record.

3. The petitioned property is zoned both the M-1 Industrial District and R-1A Single-Family Residential District (Figure 2). Although the majority of the property is zoned M-1, there is a 20-ft. strip of R-1A zoning extending east-west along the site’s northern border. The applicant has submitted a concurrent application under Planning Docket No. EZ-1-20 requesting to rezone the R-1A portion to M-1, thus creating universally-zoned M-1 lots (Figure 3).

4. The M-1 Industrial district has no minimum lot dimension requirements. The proposed lots exceed the general development standards of Sec. 33-6.6.1 Lot Standards (B) Lot area: 50 ft. of width at the front line and 5,000 sq. ft. of lot area. All of the proposed lots meet or exceed the size requirements.

5. To address Public Works’ LURTC opposition, tThe applicant has agreed to eliminate submitted a revised subdivision plat eliminating proposed Lot A from the subdivision, and instead dedicateing a 50-ft. right-of-way to the Parish for Merit Way to address Public Works’ and Fire’s original LURTC opposition. The Planning Department is awaiting the revised subdivision plat reflecting this change.

ICE-Building Not Opposed

911 Not Opposed

Public Works

Not Opposed

ES-05-20 the Department of Public Works (on 03/10/2020) this 'no objection' statement/letter is strictly based on technical issue(s). It does not address any potential Code of Ordinance violations/regulations. Such regulations shall be addressed by other departments such as Code Enforcement, Planning, etc' prior to the granting of a permit. No structures allowed inside Parish servitudes. Traffic Engineering Division finds that the sight triangles are not an issue at this time and a TIA is not required. Parkways has no comment, no landscape plan submitted. If the existing house connection cannot be located or not usable, a new connection will be required at the property owner's expense. Note owners should contact all private utilities to see if they require servitudes for their utilities

Parish Attorney

Not Opposed

Instead of the words <<Dedication of a 50' wide right of way for an unnamed road>> it should be described as <<Dedication of Lot A for an existing unnamed road.>> <<And the north portion of original Square 122, Shrewsbury Subdivision>> should be moved to before the dedication reference, else it looks like Square 122 is being dedicated as well. Severn Avenue should be listed as Shrewsbury Road or as <<Shrewsbury Road (Severn Ave.)>>, as the original Shrewsbury Subdivision plan apparently gave it two names.

Also for the 25 ft. drainage servitude <<to be dedicated>> should be removed, and the dedication should be referenced in the description along with Lot A. Or else subsequent surveyors will repeat the <<to be dedicated>> language. Use: <<the dedication of Lot A for an existing unnamed road and the dedication of a 25 ft. drainage servitude.>> We will defer to the other departments for any additional comments.
