Planning commission: summary of actions — approvals and denials
At its meeting the St. Tammany Parish Planning & Zoning Commission took final action on ten agenda items. Below are the outcomes and brief context; the meeting transcript records the commission’s recorded actions but does not list roll‑call tallies for the votes.

Approved items

- Item 1 (Case 2025‑4352): PUD → R‑2 (Pearl River, ~173.199 acres). Applicant counsel said rezoning would not prevent previously approved subdivision; motion to approve carried.

- Item 2 (Case 2025‑4261): Conditional use for commercial excavation (40‑acre lake on 71.77 acres, Mossy Hill Plantation LLC). Applicant described truck routing that avoids parish roads and requested a three‑year permit tied to the excavation; motion to approve carried.

- Item 4: Manufactured Housing Overlay (MHO) for ~129 acres near Abita Springs; motion to approve carried.

- Item 5: Rezone 1.86 acres from L‑1 to L‑2 (Dummy Line Road) to allow parcel split; motion to approve carried.

- Item 7: Rezone ~3.1 acres to ED‑2 for Lake Castle School expansion/green space; applicant committed to no additional parking/nighttime activities and to required drainage studies; motion to approve carried.

- Item 8: Rezone to 2‑family residential (0.52 acres) in Briar for two duplexes; motion to approve carried.

- Item 9: Rezone 9.28 acres to HC‑2 for a self‑storage/RV & boat storage facility (phased, up to 11 buildings / ~158 units); petitioner said Corps found uplands and DOTD indicated no required improvements for the projected traffic; motion to approve carried.

- Item 10: Parish‑initiated rezone of 14 parcels from CBF‑1 to GC‑2 (west side of Pontchartrain Drive/Highway 11) to align zoning with current uses and allow mixed retail/residential/marina development; motion to approve carried.

Denied items

- Item 3 (Case 2025‑4216): Rezone 22.32 acres L‑1 → S‑2 in Lacombe — denied after substantial public opposition raising traffic, drainage and density concerns.

- Item 6 (Case 2025‑4386): Rezone to HC‑3 for proposed wedding/event venue on LA‑437 — denied after neighbors and elected representatives cited road safety and the broad permissions of HC‑3.

Procedural notes

- Several items had significant public participation (Items 3 and 6). Staff and applicants referenced the parish 2040 plan, the Unified Development Code, and DOTD or Corps of Engineers input when applicable. The transcript records motions as “motion to approve/deny carries” but does not show roll‑call tallies; the chair reminded petitioners they may appeal to the parish council when applicable.
