Planning & Zoning Commission
St. Charles Parish Informer · Meeting coverage · 6:00 PM · Council Chambers, Courthouse
Meeting Summary
The Commission approved two routine rezoning-related items with little discussion, then spent the bulk of the meeting (roughly 90 minutes) on a contested preliminary plat for the proposed River Mist subdivision in St. Rose. After extensive public opposition centered on flooding, drainage, and a proposed private sewage treatment plant, the Commission voted 2–4 to reject the staff-recommended approval of River Mist. The meeting closed with a staff briefing on a possible future rewrite of commercial zoning rules (no vote taken).
