Petitioner(s): Lynn Wentzel Cox & Darrell A Cox (Lots 1&2); Darrell Cox (Lot 3&4); Darrell Cox Trustee, Darrell Cox Living Trust (Lots 22&23); and Darrell A Cox (Lot 24) Zoning: Parish NC-2 and S-1 Future Land Use: Commercial and Residential (Figure 2.) Requests: Annex and establish City zoning classification as CC - Corridor Commercial Parish Concurrence: Needed; request sent on April 29, 2026 Planning & Zoning Commissions Public Hearing: May 18, 2026 City Council (tentative) Consent Agenda: May 26, 2026 Public Hearing: June 9, 2026 RECOMMENDATIONS Planning Department Planning Commission APPROVAL To be determined FINDINGS 1. The petitioned properties contain 1.291 acres and are partially developed (Figures 1 and 3). 2. The petitioned properties have: Registered Property Ownership Non-Resident Owner Property Voters within Assessed Value Percentage Property Lynn W & Darrell A Cox Lots 1 & 2 $34,340.00 100% -0- Darrell Cox Living Trust Lots 3 & 4 $3,400.00 100% -0- Darrell Cox Living Trust Lots 22 & 23 $1,500.00 100% -0- Darrell Cox Living Trust Lot 24 $1,500.00 100% -0- PC & ZC Page 1 of 9 AZ 2026-0002 Distributed May 11, 2026 Prepared by T Alexander 3. The petitioned properties are contiguous with those lots of record within Parcels 95417 and 94817 City’s corporate limits along Shortcut Highway only, with approximate frontage at 301 linear feet along the northern boundary lines of the properties. 4. The subject property is zoned by the Parish as NC-2 (Neighborhood Commercial) and S-1 (Suburban Residential). The applicants propose to establish City zoning as CC - Corridor Commercial for all lots. (Figure 4) as the City does not allow for dual zoning of a lot of record; see Figure 3 for proposed re- subdivision lot boundaries. 5. CC allows some similar uses as HC-2; it does allow more intense uses, more appropriate for a major road and highway such as Shortcut Highway. 6. For the Sales Tax Enhancement Plan, the majority of the property is undeveloped commercial or non-commercial that is less than 90% surrounded by the City with more intense City zoning proposed. The Parish needs to concur in this annexation; the Planning Department sent a certified letter on May 4, 2026. 7. The subject properties as a group are located on a major road and State Highway – Shortcut Highway (Hwy 190 Business). 8. Other nearby properties on Shortcut Highway are zoned Parish HC-2, NC-2 and S-1 and City CC and CR (Figures 1 and 4). 9. CC Commercial Corridor zoning is appropriate for this location because of its location on a major road and proximity to other properties with the same or similar commercial zoning and is located within ½ mile of a major Interstate 10 exit. 10. City water is immediately adjacent to the northern boundary of the properties along Shortcut Hwy with a 12-inch main. City sewer is also available through a 10-inch force main which runs north/south along Beth Drive along the eastern ROW Line (Figure 5). Applicants understand any development of the property will be required to connect to City water and sewer. 11. The property is currently in a “C” flood zone which has similar requirements as Zone X. The approximate ground elevations of the properties are between 10.3 and 10.8 feet. (Figure 6.) 12. The Planning Department finds the annexation is reasonable for the following reasons: • Configuration of municipal boundaries to fill in gaps, following natural boundaries. • Extension of Commercial uses along Shortcut Highway is supported by the City’s Comprehensive Plan (2040 Future Land Use). • With extension of utilities through this annexation, adjacent or nearby residents may benefit from development of the annexed area. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Department finds the annexation and zoning map amendment requests meet applicable requirements and are appropriate.
