A
B
Noel,
do
you
solemnly
swear
to
uphold
the
laws
in
the
Constitution
of
the
United
States,
the
state
of
Louisiana
and
the
Parish
of
Ascension,
and
that
you
will
faithfully
and
impartially
discharge
and
perform
all
duties
incumbent

Thank

Yesterday
we
did
have
our
elections
here
in
in
the
United
States
and
Louisiana,
especially
here
in
Ascension,
Parish
and
I
want
to
give
thanks
to
all
the
people
who
who
went
out
there
put
their
name
on
the
ballot
and
definitely
congratulations
to
all
those
who
won.
So
it's
a
very
big
part
of
our
Republican
Democratic
process
and
we
really
need
to
support
and
and
give
congratulations
to
those
who
came
out
Victorious
and
so
thank
you
all
so
much
item.
Seven
we're
going
to
open
up
a
public
comment.
A
E
A
E
Cannon
Road
has
been
won.
They
put
the
first
layer
of
asphalt
on
it.
They
when
they
do
the
final
layer
of
asphalt
within
the
subdivision,
they're
going
to
do
that
they
are
fixing
to
do,
saw
cement
and
all
in
Windermere
Crossing,
so
it
should
probably
be
I
would
imagine
within
the
next
30
days
that
they
will
that
it
will
be
finished
as
far
as
Paving
goes.
Okay,.
A
D
Mr
chairman
members
of
the
commission,
Brian
Mabry,
representing
candy
Keys
collaborative
who's,
going
to
give
us
an
update
on
the
work
that
they've
been
doing
for
the
parish
with
the
on
our
unified
Land
Development
code,
he's
going
to
reference
in
his
presentations,
two
batches
of
ordinance
changes
that
were
approved
earlier
this
year
around
March
and
those
batches
included.
Work
done
on
the
subdivision
code
streets,
things
of
this
sort,
as
well
as
a
drainage
code,
so
you'll
be
referencing.
D
D
F
Right
here,
thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you,
commission
for
having
me
speak
to
you
for
a
moment
here.
This
is
just
to
update
you
and
go
back.
One
update
you
on
module,
one
just
sort
of
a
check-in
on
our
progress.
We
as
a
firm
as
your
consulting
firm
on
this
project,
talk
to
your
staff
once
a
week,
almost
always
about
where
we
are
and
what
needs
doing,
and
so
I'm
just
dropping
into
update
you
where
we
are.
F
But
we
also
have
a
subconsulting
firm,
tishler
Vice
there
on
the
right
that
is
helping
with
some
studies
of
your
infrastructure
and
the
producing,
basically
a
a
fiscal
model
that
will
tell
you
how
how
much
your
new
subdivisions
are
costing
to
serve
versus
sort
of
contributing
to
the
tax
base,
but
the
main
project
and
the
main
topic
we're
talking
about
this
evening-
is
your
unifiedland
development
code.
I
think
we
are
sort
of
trying
to
straddle
the
perfect
spot
between
no
growth
on
one
side
and
absolutely
unchecked.
F
Growth
on
the
right
excuse
me
so
that
there's
more
of
a
balance
that
so
that
it's
not
just
the
unrealistic
and
kind
of
politically
unpopular,
maybe
no
growth
or
politically
unpopular
unchecked
growth
as
well,
where
quality
of
life
is
severely
impacted
by
just
rampant
sprawl.
So
we're
trying
to
get
you
somewhere,
where
you're
sort
of
in
the
middle,
where
there's
responsible
growth,
that's
sustainable
for
the
future
and
also
fiscally
responsible
to
the
timeline
of
our
project.
F
The
grade
in
and
checked
off
areas
kind
of
represent
where
we've
been
already
starting
off
in
August
last
year,
with
the
kickoff
in
orientation,
we
produced
a
code
diagnostic
which
described
what
we
thought,
how
your
development
regulations
could
improve.
We
also
did,
as
Jerome
mentioned
some
sort
of
urgent
or
maybe
not
emergency,
but
just
some
priority
code
updates
that
needed
doing
quicker
more
quickly
than
this
overall
project
was
going
to
take.
F
So
we
worked
on
those
and
I'll
describe
those
briefly
in
a
moment,
because
I
know
some
of
you
are
new
and
haven't
been
involved
in
this
project.
All
along,
like
staff,
has
we're
moving.
Now
we
are
into
the
that
blue
box
there
with
an
iterative
code,
Drafting
and
iterative
means
back
and
forth
where
we
provide
a
draft
for
staff
to
look
at
staff,
gives
us
comments.
F
F
They
were
kind
of
a
lot
of
smaller
things
that
needed
clarification
or
expanding
upon
or
closing
loopholes
and
things
of
that
nature,
just
some
maybe
somewhat
random
ones.
Preliminary
plaque
completeness
review.
So
that
we
can
ensure
that
staff
is
getting
complete,
submittals
on
preliminary
plots
and
they're
not
wasting
their
time
reviewing
preliminary
plaques
that
are
not
ready
to
actually
be
reviewed.
Yet
a
slight
widening
of
streets
from
18
feet
to
20
feet,
making
sure
that
servitudes
don't
have
fences
or
other
obstructions
within
them
and
then
a
more
significant
one.
I'd
say.
F
F
Items
related
to
drainage
really
are
tie
into
some
of
the
things
we'll
be
talking
about
over
the
next
few
slides
related
to
like
open
space,
because
one
of
the
key
things
you'll
see
over
the
next
few
slides
is
a
incentive
in
the
draft
regulations
for
someone
doing
a
larger
subdivision
to
dedicate
permanently
open
space
as
part
of
the
design
of
the
subdivision,
and
that
open
space
can
help
to
accommodate
drainage.
We
know
that's
a
very
important
thing
to
the
to
the
parish
is
having
adequate
drainage
and
making
sure
that
you
don't
face.
F
F
Some
of
the
key
now
we're
kind
of
moving
into
the
actual
meat
of
what
we're
working
on
now
with
the
uldc
updates.
Some
key
points.
Basically
a
Countryside
zoning
District
that
would
apply
in
the
coastal
zone
area
and
I'll
have
more
detail
about
many
of
these
bullets.
As
we
keep
going
consolidating
the
conservation
in
rural
districts
into
an
account.
F
These
show
two
of
the
zoning
districts
I
mentioned
that
we're
working
into
the
draft,
the
countryside,
which
is
abbreviated
as
Cs
and
country
estate,
which
is
abbreviated
as
CE,
basically
just
to
point
to
that
country.
Estate
District,
if
you're
doing
a
minor
or
a
major
subdivision,
the
more
open
space
you
dedicate,
which
is
in
that
open
space
percentage
column.
F
Shaded
in
Blue
on
the
map
on
the
left
of
the
of
the
parish
Geared
for
very
large
Lots,
five
acres,
you
know
just
consorted
as
a
holding
area
where
the
parish
does
not
expect
to
have
much
development
other
than
just
you
know,
rural
style,
development,
I,
don't
know
if
Jerome.
If
you
had
something
you
wanted
to
add
about
that
for
the
Cs
area,.
D
Yes,
I
do
Brian!
Thank
you.
If
you
look
at
the
map
below
in
that
blue
area,
we
do
have
a
portion
of
Ascension
Parish,
that's
designated
as
the
coastal
zone
by
the
state
of
Louisiana,
and
that
area
is
outlined
in
blue
this.
This
single
lot
area
Countryside,
is
a
minimum
of
five
acres
in
size
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
limit
the
the
the
the
lot
sizes
there
and
also
limit
the
way
that
projects
can
be
billed
and
we're.
D
This
Project's
also
going
to
coordinate
with
the
grant
that
we
have
from
the
state
on
Highway
22,
where
we're
going
to
be
elevating
a
portion
of
that
road
so
that
it's
not
going
to
create
that
damn
effect
that
happened
in
2016
flood
right,
so
this
area
is
going
to
work
as
a
bit
of
a
flood
Corridor.
So
to
speak.
You
know
to
to
alleviate
some
of
the
flooding
events
or
events
some
of
the
flooding
that
we
had
in
Santa
Monica
in
those
areas
of
the
parish
right.
D
F
F
I
just
wanted
to
show
an
example
of
what
this
might
look
like
on
the
ground
if
it
were
built
this
way.
This
shows
that
if
a
person
in
the
residential
neighborhood
District
does
a
project
does
a
subdivision
and
it's
got
30
and
has
a
30
open
space
requirement.
That
means
they
get
2.1
units
per
acre
or
on
a
on
a
10
acre
project
that
would
be
21
units
or
21
Lots
that
would
be
set
aside.
F
F
The
the
sort
of
private
property
of
the
houses
is
in
that
lighter
green,
but
then
the
open
space
that's
set
aside
is
in
the
darker
green,
so,
instead
of
just
flattening
out
sort
of
the
the
subdivision
with
21
lots
and
making
them
fit,
you
know
that
way:
they're
shrunk
down
a
little
bit
and
they
have
they're
surrounded
and
within
the
the
center
that
Central
green
area,
with
permanent
open
space
that
couldn't
be
developed
in
the
future.
It
would
be
permanently
set
aside.
F
Some
other
benefits
are
that
there
would
be
a
buffer
at
a
200
foot
buffer.
That
would
separate
the
this
sort
of
smaller
lot
subdivision
from
any
more
conventional
subdivision
like
in
this
example
to
the
South.
You
know
just
to
provide
a
protection
to
these
folks
that
are
already
you
know,
bought
in
and
living
here
on.
F
The
south
side
of
this
proposed
subdivision
they've
got
their
larger
lots
and
they're
kind
of
conventional
subdivision
that
that
buffers
there
to
just
so,
they
can
be
assured
that
that's
not
going
to
have
any
kind
of
negative
impact
on
their
properties,
and
these
are
very
desirable
communities
anyway
across
the
country.
These
places
that
have
these
subdivisions
that
have
open
space
that
set
aside
permanently
and
they
might
have
Trails,
worked
into
them
and
that
kind
of
thing
there's
also
the
benefit,
as
I've
mentioned
throughout
protected
flood
plain.
F
F
There
are
also
non-residential
zoning
districts,
and
you
know,
as
I
said
this,
this
presentation
is
weighted
heavily
toward
the
residential
stuff.
So
I've
really
only
got
one
slide
about
non-residential
districts.
Those
are
shown
on
the
screen.
They're,
probably
I,
think
pretty
you
know
intuitive.
You
can
kind
of
see
by
their
labels
what
they
mean,
Suburban
commercial
would
be.
F
You
know,
like
offices
and
smaller,
maybe
strips
Fitters,
General
commercial
would
be
your
bigger
commercial
developments,
shopping
centers
and
things
like
that
business
park
would
be
offices
and
light
industrial
and
a
more
landscape
setting
and
then
the
other
stuff.
You
know
sort
of
probably
makes
sense
as
well
just
showing
you
one
other
feature
of
this
document
is
the
use
table.
F
We
organize
the
use
table
according
to
use
categories
where
we're
grouping
land
uses
together
and
treating
very
similar
land
uses.
Similarly,
as
you
would
expect
so,
they're
organized
by
use
categories,
so
we
say
office
there
William
and
say:
what
do
you
mean
by
office?
That
could
be
a
lot
of
things.
F
Well,
if
a
person
is
if,
after
this
code
is
adopted
and
they're
using
the
online
version
and
it's
kind
of
native
online
format,
if
they
click
that
section
2.2.2
e,
they
will
get
a
list
of
all
the
different
land
uses
that
make
up
office
and,
as
you
can
see,
it's
if
I
go
back
on
all
that
information
is
just
kind
of
captured
in
this
one
row.
So
you
don't
have
a
very
lengthy
cumbersome
use
table.
It's
it's
condensed
and
you
know
efficient.
F
So
you
can
tell
what
each
of
those
use
categories
are
by
clicking
the
link.
That's
underneath
each
of
those
labels
for
the
use
categories
there
on
the
left
hand,
side
wherever
it
says,
p
in
the
use
table.
That
means
that
land
use
is
permitted
by
right.
In
other
words,
there's
no
need
to
there's
no
need
to
have
a
special
hearing
to
get
a
conditional
use
permit
or
anything
like
that.
It's
just
the
normal
process
to
go
through
to
establish
that
land
use
in
that
particular
zoning
District.
F
Here
on
these
columns
that
are
at
the
top.
These
are
each
of
the
zoning
districts
that
are
proposed
here
in
each
of
these
columns
at
the
top
of
the
table,
there's
also
limited
uses,
and
that
means
that
it
doesn't
require
a
conditional
use
permit,
but
it
is
a
limited
use
in
that
there
are
certain
specific
land
use
standards
that
are
tied
to
that
land
use
that
have
to
be
met
in
order
to
do
that.
F
Switching
gears
a
little
bit
before
we
wrap
up
there's,
building
design
and
site
development
standards.
So
that's
your
signs
and
your
landscaping
and
parking
and
matters
like
that.
There's
a
convenient
table
that
shows
under
what
types
of
development
activities
the
standards
apply,
so
here's
a
column
for
building
standards,
low
impact
development
standards,
parking
access
and
site
circulation,
landscaping
and
buffering
signs
and
Outdoor
Lighting.
If
you
have
new
to
like
brand
new
development,
that's
you
know
Greenfield
and
new
development,
then
all
but
the
low
impact
development
standards
apply.
F
Those
are
currently
optional,
so
there's
not
a
DOT
for
them,
but
everything
basically
applies
if
it's
new
development.
However,
if
it
is
just
something
smaller
like
changing
the
land
use
within
an
existing
building,
you
know
maybe
doing
like
adaptive
reuse,
where
you're
taking
a
building
that
was
built
for
one
purpose
and
redoing
the
inside
and
turning
it
into
something
else.
F
Then
really
what
applies
is
parking
and
Landscaping
and
lighting,
so
there's
fewer
requirements
that
come
along
if
you're
doing
something
smaller
and
that's
to
help.
You
know
with
entrepreneurship
and
giving
someone
a
a
chance
to
kind
of
get
a
new
business
going.
Maybe
they
don't
can't
afford
to
start
a
brand
new,
build
a
brand
new
building
for
their
business,
but
they
can
take
an
existing
building
and
turn
it
into
something
else
on
the
inside,
and
that
makes
it
a
little
easier
to
for
them
to
develop.
F
What
remains
on
the
screen
here
are
just
some
kind
of
visual
examples
of
what
you
would
see
in
the
the
draft
related
to
parking.
We
have
parking
standards
that
will
that
are
Illustrated
and
relate
to
the
angle
of
the
parking
space
and
shows
what
kind
of
Dimensions
you
have
to
have
to
to
do
parking
spaces.
There
is
in
the
upper
right
an
image
of
a
loading
area.
F
C
So
go
back
to
the
slide
with
the
flood
plain,
a
residential
after
the
commercial
right
there
go
back
the
green
one
where
you
highlighted
the
floodplains
of
visual.
Is
the
visual
slide
go
next?
Oh
this
one!
Yes
right!
There,
okay,
explain
to
me
a
little
more
about
the
floodplain
at
no
penalty.
What
are
you
saying
there
if.
F
What
I
mean
by
that
is
I'm,
sorry
for
maybe
not
being
clear
on
that.
So
if
this
were
a
parcel
that
were
undeveloped,
that
someone
bought
and
wanted
to
turn
into
a
subdivision,
the
ability
to
Cluster
like
we're
showing
to
make
have
the
smaller
Lots
than
what
would
normally
be
allowed
in
exchange
for
the
set-aside
open
space
instead
it
you
know
it's
instead
of
saying
that
the
you
you
know
you
just
can't
build
there,
which
is
true.
You
can't
the
the
person
can't
build
there.
F
They
aren't
losing
the
ability
to
like,
if
sorry
I'm,
trying
to
put
this
into
better
words
if
they
were
doing
larger
lots,
for
example,
conventional
style
lines
with
no
open
space
and
sort
of
just
setting
up
the
Lots
within
the
the
subdivision
without
any
open
space.
They'd
have
to
avoid
and
not
build
in
this
floodplain
area,
of
course,
they're
losing
the
potential
to
have.
However
many
Lots,
you
know
that
what
you
know
that
would
be
taken
up
by
what's
there
as
floodplained.
F
Now,
however,
many
you
know
Acres
or
square
feet,
that
is
when
you
can
cluster.
You
know
you
still
get
the
number
of
lots.
You
would
have
gotten
if
there
had
been
no
flood
plain
there
in
the
first
place,
because
we're
allowing
smaller
lots
and
they
basically
get
a
bonus.
They
get
more
Lots
than
what
they
would
have
done
or
what
they
would
have
had
if
they
had
just
done
I'm
trying
to
not
say
cookie
cutter,
but
if
they
had
just
cookie
cuttered
out,
you
know
all
the
Lots
without
any
open
space.
F
It's
it's
just
a
way
to
look
at
it,
so
that
a
constrained
site,
a
site
with
environmental
constraints
on
it
before
it's
developed,
the
developers
in
the
subdivider
is
getting
the
full
potential
out
of
it
without
being
without
having
to
just
not
develop
in
that
area
where
the
the
floodplain
is
and
in
exchange
the
parish
is
getting
out
of
it.
This
permanent,
open
space-
that's
set
aside
from,
for
you,
know
rural
amenities
or
Suburban
amenities.
F
Because
I
don't
have
a
lot
I,
don't
have
the
lot
width
on
this
table
right,
but
what
the
code
does
and
can
dictate
a
lot
with.
You
know
we
can
make
sure
that
somebody's
not
trying
to
do
something
crazy.
You
know
20
foot
wide
for
a
single
family,
detached
house
or
something
like
that
and
then
have
an
extremely
narrow
one
that
would,
you
know,
make
up
for
the
the
lot
area.
So
there
will
be.
There
can
be
precautions
against
that.
D
A
A
A
So
let's
say
we
have
you
know
a
a
bar
and,
and
we
have
limited
use
with
their
location
toward
anything
with
residential
or
with
distances,
and
what
I
also
want
to
make
sure
of
is
if
they
have
some
type
of
commercial
use
or
some
type
of
restriction
that
has
a
minimum
distance
or
anything
else
that,
consequently,
the
reverse
doesn't
happen.
Something
can't
come
in
and
encroach
upon
theirs.
That
would
be
non-conforming.
F
Okay,
that's
a
good
and
I
know
your
example
was
related
to
bars.
It's
a
little
different
in
that.
If
you
looked
around
at
the
row
above
you
know,
there
are
a
bar
or
Tavern
or
lounge
is
a
conditional
use.
So
you
know,
if
someone's
establishing
it,
it
has
to
go
through
that
process
of
getting
the
approvals.
But
yes,
I
hear
what
you're
saying
that
we
want.
You
want
to
have
something
that
would
prevent
like
someone.
F
Has
they
go
through
the
process
they
get
their
bar,
they
open
it
up
and
they're
all
they're.
Following
all
the
rules,
they're
spaced,
the
right
amount
from
you
know
whatever
place
of
worship
or
residential
or
whatever
the
case
may
be,
then
a
church
or
something
opens
up
very
close
to
it
that
suddenly,
basically.
F
A
It
could
potentially
become
non-conforming
if
they
have
to
close
down.
For
example,
if
you
know
we
had
the
pandemic,
if
we
had
something
similar
where
they
closed
down
temporarily
and
then
had
to
reapply
for
their
license,
we
just
need
to
make
sure
that
that
should
be
something
that
we
can
protect
against.
You
know
for
those
business
owners
and
then,
if,
if
there's
a
way
that
we
can
look
into
having
something
like
that,
I
would
like
to
see
it.
We
have
seen
that
in
the
past,
but
it
hadn't
been
too
recent.
A
Another
question
I
had
and
I'm
glad
you
brought
it
up
on
here
with
site,
site
development
standards
and,
and
one
of
the
things
I
really
want
to
look
at
is
making
sure
that
we're
having
proper
architectural
standards.
We
had
a
an
issue
that
came
up
before
the
zoning
commission
a
few
months
ago,
where
you
know
this.
This
person
wants
to
rezone
their
property
to
commercial.
A
They
inform
us
that
they
want
to
put
a
Dollar
General
and
that's
all
fine
and
dandy,
but
we
did
request
that
they
have
some
of
the
higher
level
the
architectural
designs,
and
we
want
to
encourage
that.
If
we're
going
to
have
this
new
code,
we
want
to
start
encouraging
some
of
these
higher
level
designs
and
and
more
static,
if
at
all
possible
and
having
some
of
these
higher
standards
and
right.
A
What
I
would
even
like
to
see
is,
if
there's
a
possible
way
that
we
can
incorporate
with
the
community
and
neighborhood
designs
that
we
have
some
type
of
minimum
standard
per
se.
Let's
just
say
we
have
a
brick
on.
You
know
a
house,
that's
built
on
a
slab.
Well,
should
we
should
we
potentially
tell
them
that
they
need
to
have
four
four
sides,
brick,
those
type
of
Standards?
We
can
we
have
this
opportunity
that
we
could
start
looking
into
and
I
encourage,
encourage
y'all
to
look
into
that.
Please.
F
Yes,
we
will,
we
could
do
something
like
you
described,
that
if
a
a
commercial
building
is
located
adjacent
to
you
know
a
residential
land
use,
especially
if
it
were
maybe
single
family
detached,
then
I'm
requiring
a
masonry
component
or
that
it
its
design,
you
know,
be
compatible
with
the
character
of
its
surroundings.
There
are
already
in
the
draft
standards
related
to
building
design.
That
kind
of
take
the
menu
approach
saying
you
know
you
need
to
have
a
building
needs
to
have
at
least
three
of
these
eight
or
so
characteristics.
F
You
know,
and
so
you're
not
you're,
allowing
some
flexibility
in
order
to
be
sort
of
business
friendly,
but
you're
also
setting
a
standard
where
you
do
need
to
pick
three
or
whatever.
The
number
is
out
of
these.
You
know
eight
or
so
things
like
dorm.
You
know
Dormers,
which
are
windows
that
kind
of
stick
out
of
the
root,
a
nicer
entry
feature
and
those
kind
of
things
so
yep
that
we
we
hear
you
on
that.
