The petitioned property has: • No registered voters (Certificate of Registrar of Voters dated June 1, 2023); • No resident property owners; and • The petitioned property has an assessed value for 2022 of $21,912 (Certificates of Ownership and Assessed Valuation dated May 30, 2023). 4.

(Attachment A) 5. EAN Holdings LLC is a subsidiary of Pingree 2000 Real Estate Holdings, the applicant in these proceedings. EAN to act on behalf of Pingree is attached to this Staff Report as Attachment B. 6. The petitioned property is surrounded by City corporate limits on three sides, Old Spanish Trail to the north, 1833 Old Spanish Trail annexed in 1994, and Frank Pichon Road, approximately 70% surrounded by the City’s corporate limits. (Figure 1). 7. The subject property is zoned by the Parish as HC-2 Highway Commercial (Figure 4). The applicant proposes to establish City zoning as C-4 Highway Commercial. 8. HC-2 Highway Commercial includes similar permitted uses allowed within the C-4 Highway Commercial; C-4. 9. For the Sales Tax Enhancement Plan, the property is undeveloped commercial or non-commercial that is less than 90% surrounded by the City with proposed City zoning that is not more intense. The Parish does not need to concur in the annexation. Courtesy notice was given to the Parish on August 11, 2023. 10. The subject property is located on a major thoroughfare identified by the State as Louisiana State Hwy 433, also known as Old Spanish Trail. 11. Other nearby properties on Old Spanish Trail are zoned Parish HC-2 and City C-4 (Figures 1 & 4). 12. C-4 is appropriate for this location because of its location on a major commercial corridor, its proximity to Interstate 10, and to other properties with the same or similar commercial zoning. 13. City water is immediately adjacent to the property along Old Spanish Trail. City sewer (force main) runs along the eastern right-of-way line at Frank Pichon Road (Figure 5). Applicants understand any development of the property will be required to connect to City water and sewer. 14. The property is within a Special Flood Hazard Area in Flood Zone AE, with a Base Flood Elevation of 13 ft; the approximate ground elevation is 7.6 feet. 15. The Planning Department finds the annexation is reasonable for the following reasons: • Configuration of municipal boundaries to fill in gaps, follow natural boundaries. • Character of the area as commercial, extended along corridor. • Supported by the City’s Comprehensive Plan by enclosing City boundaries. 16. The Planning Department finds the annexation and zoning map amendment requests meet applicable requirements and are appropriate. Conditional approval of final annexation on sale of the property to Pingree 2000 Real Estate Holdings before annexation and zoning map amendment are official.
