A24-02 / Z24-02 Annexation and Establishment of Zoning Classification of Planning Department C-4 Highway Commercial for 1530 Shortcut Hwy 985.646.4320 | 250 Bouscaren St, Suite 203, Slidell, LA 70458 | planningdept@cityofslidell.org | myslidell.com Location: 1530 Shortcut Hwy (Figure 1) Petitioner(s): Solid Investments, LLC, through Donald Ducote and Anthony Cartaginese, Non-resident property owners Zoning: Parish NC-1 – Professional Offices Future Land Use: Commercial Requests: Annex and establish City zoning classification as C-4 Highway Commercial Parish Concurrence: Not needed Planning & Zoning Commissions Consent Agenda: February 19, 2024 Public Hearing: March 18, 2024 City Council (tentative) Consent Agenda: March 26, 2024 Figure 1. Location map and City zoning Public Hearing: April 9, 2024 RECOMMENDATIONS Planning Department Planning & Zoning Commissions Approval To be determined CURRENT CONDITIONS 1. The petitioned property contains 1.24 acres and is vacant land (Figures 2 and 3). 2. The petitioned property has: • No registered voters (Certificate of Registrar of Voters dated November 28, 2023); • No resident property owners; and • Two non-resident property owners, all of which signed the Annexation Petition (Certificate of Ownership and Assessed Valuation dated November 20, 2023). 3. The petitioned property is contiguous with the City’s corporate limits by 100%. 4. For the purpose of the Sales Tax Enhancement Plan, the property is undeveloped commercial or non- commercial that is more than 90% surrounded by the City. The Parish does not need to concur in the annexation. PC & ZC Page 1 of 8 A24-02 & Z24-02 Distributed March 11, 2024 Prepared by T Alexander 5. City water is available at the southeast corner of the subject property. The city sewer is located within a utility servitude located at the front of the subject property (Figure 4). Applicants understand any development of the property will be required to connect to City water and sewer. 6. The property is currently in an X flood zone. The approximate ground elevation at the site is 11.6 feet. Development of this property should not have a negative impact on the City’s community ratings if developed meeting the City’s ordinances. FINDINGS 7. The subject property is zoned by the Parish as NC-1 Professional Offices (Figure 5). The applicants propose to establish City zoning as C-4 Highway Commercial. 8. The subject property is located on a major roadway (US Highway) – Shortcut Highway (US-190 Business). 9. Nearby properties on Shortcut Hwy are zoned Parish NC-1 and NC-4 Neighborhood Institutional, and City C-4, C-2 Neighborhood Commercial, and C-1A Fremaux Ave/Shortcut Hwy District (Figures 1 and 4). 10. C-4 allows similar uses as NC-1; it does allow more intense uses. 11. C-4 is appropriate for this location because of its location on a major commercial arterial corridor, proximity to other properties with the same or similar commercial zoning, and anticipated commercial corridor zoning map adjustments currently in progress as part of the Unified Development Code updates to the Municipal Code and zoning regulations. 12. The Planning Department finds the annexation is reasonable for the following reasons: • Allows for better configuration of municipal boundaries by absorption of isolated parish parcel. • Improves safety protocols and provisions for residents and visitors. • Continues to solidify the urbanized character of the corridor. • Supported by the City’s Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, see Figure 6. RECOMMENDATION 13. The Planning Department finds the annexation and zoning map amendment requests meet applicable requirements and are appropriate.
