[StBernard] Council EFC Meeting - Arabi Park Subdivision

[Westley Annis]

SJK:  Who originally initiated this request?




	-----------------------------------------------------
	Council EFC Meeting
	
	Wednesday 2pm
	
	Item # 3  Arabi Park Subdivision
	
	Compound motion to take from the table and discuss Summary No. 2655,
an
	ordinance to approve Docket 4-10, a petition of the St. Bernard
Parish
	Planning Commission to the St. Bernard Parish Council to consider a
map
	change from "R, 1, (single family residential)" to "C-1,
(neighborhood
	commercial)" for four lots situated in Arabi Park Subdivision,
designated as
	Lot "1", Square "a"; Lot "29", Square "b"; and Lots "1" and "2",
Square "c".
	
	
	Let's All Join For Neighborhoods
	
	St Bernard Parish has more available commercial and industrial
property now,
	than ever before, yet the integrity of all our residential
neighborhoods
	appears to be expendable in the name of economic development. This
type of
	zoning fails to meet St Bernard Parish's goal of economic
development along
	with safe, productive family neighborhoods. Instead, this is spot
zoning,
	and that's illegal.
	
	The same could happen to your neighborhood if the Parish continues
to
	entertain such requests. With little to no public notice, the
Council is
	discussing a parish-wide re-zoning of all properties within 250 feet
of
	Judge Perez Drive, which could result in parking lots, dumpsters,
commercial
	traffic and other nuisances coming to any residential street.
