Schoen Zoning: A-6 Single-Family Urban Future Land Use: Community Facilities Request: Subdivide a 3.451 Acre Tract INTO Parcel A and Parcel B, located at 1033 and 1041 Ninth Street, north of Gause Blvd, into two parcels – Parcel A and Parcel B Planning Commission: April 17, 2023 Staff Recommendation Approval Findings 1. The petitioned property is Figure 1. Location map currently occupied by First Presbyterian Church of Slidell and its accessory building for recreational activities. (Figure 2). It is zoned A-6. 2. The applicant states that it has an agreement with the current owner to purchase Parcel A after subdivision. 3. The subject property is currently zoned A-6, which permits the current use of religious assembly, as well as elementary and secondary Figure 2. Property Current Conditions schools. 4. The A-6 zoning district does require minimum lot sizes. Parcels A and B will both meet the minimum lot area and width (Table 1). PC Page 1 of 3 S23-04 Distributed April 13, 2023 Prepared by T Alexander 5. There are currently two buildings within the original parcel: Church (Parcel B) and a Recreational Building (Parcel A). The original construction of the Church and the recreation building met the setback requirements with the church as the primary structure and the recreation building as an accessory. (Figure 3) Figure 3. Proposed Subdivision Plat 6. Setback and area requirements will be met in creating Parcel B; Parcel A will meet the area requirements, but the recreation building will encroach into the required 25-foot rear yard setback. This building will be considered legal non-conforming as long as it exists. If for any reason the building no longer exists, any new construction will have to meet the ordinances and standards in place at that time. PC Page 2 of 3 S23-04 Distributed April 13, 2023 Prepared by T Alexander 7. There is public water available to the single parcel located along Ninth Street the entire length of the property. There are public sewer services available to the proposed Parcel B at its southern boundary line along Ninth Street; Parcel A will require access to City Sewer for individual service. (Figure 4). 8. The property is in a special flood hazard area, in flood zone AE13. The land has an elevation of approximately 11 feet. Splitting the subject property into two lots would make any new development of the property more difficult given the necessary elevation and grade changes to meet base flood elevation and complying with the City’s No Net Fill ordinance. 9. The Planning Department recommends approval. Figure 4. City Utilities Table 1. Dimensions of Current and Proposed Lots, and Zoning District Lots | Zoning Fronting Street Width (ft.)
