The St. Charles Parish Planning & Zoning Commission will consider a request to change the zoning on a lot next to St. Gertrude Catholic Church in Des Allemands from R-3 to R-1A(M) when it meets September 3. The request, filed as 2026-11-R, comes from PDJ Enterprises, LLC and covers Lot 5A of the church campus, adjacent to 17369 LA 631. R-3 and R-1A(M) are both residential zoning categories, but they allow different lot sizes and housing types, and a change from one to the other can affect what gets built next to existing homes. The property is in Council District 4. The same applicant, PDJ Enterprises, LLC, has a related item on the agenda. The commission will also take up 2026-12-MIN, a request to split one lot into three lots adjacent to the same address on LA 631 in Des Allemands. That property is zoned R-3. A second resubdivision request comes from Margo Tastet, who is asking to split one lot into two at 14815 LA 631 in Paradis. That item, 2026-13-MIN, involves land zoned O-L, a designation for office and limited commercial use. A third resubdivision request, 2026-11-MIN, comes from the Charlie Folmar Testamentary Trust. It asks to split one lot into three at Marie Keet Lane in Hahnville. That property is also zoned O-L and sits in Council District 1. The commission will additionally consider two home occupation permits. Roland Dumas is seeking approval for a welding business called Around the Way Welding at Davis Drive in Luling, filed as 2026-40-HOA. Michael Lanoue is seeking approval for a business called Air Orleans LLC at W. Easy Street in Destrehan, filed as 2026-3-HOP. The commission is also scheduled to approve minutes from its August 6, 2026 meeting. The meeting is set for 6:00 p.m. on September 3, 2026, at the Council Chambers in the Courthouse. It is open to the public, and residents may speak during public comment.
