The petitioned property is currently developed with two commercial buildings and associated parking lots for St Tammany School Board Operations (Figure 2). It is zoned C-3. 2. The subject property is currently zoned C-3 and is located within the Olde Towne Preservation District. 3. The C-3 zoning district does not require minimum lot sizes unless the property is used for a dwelling. If this property were used for a dwelling, it would meet the minimum lot area and width as provided in the A-8 district regulations. 4. There are two public access drives to the 1.206-acre Parcel from Ciruti Street and Carey Street. 5. The property is located within a special flood hazard area, in flood zone AE11. The land has an elevation of approximately six feet. Combining the subject property into one larger lot would make any additional development of the property easier given the necessary elevation and grade changes to meet base flood elevation. 6. In an effort to comply with City and State regulations, the applicant proposes to combine the four lots into one lot (Lot 9-A-1-A) (Figure 3). 7. The combination of lots will not impact the use of the property, create any nonconforming situations, or impact the use of City utilities already in place. RECOMMENDATION 8. The Planning Department recommends approval. PC Page 1 of 4 S24-04 Distributed May 9, 2024 Prepared by T Alexander FIGURES Figure 1.

Location aerial 1. The petitioned property consists of two lots of record and is vacant land (Figure 2). It is zoned C-4. 2. The C-4 zoning district does not require minimum lot sizes unless the property is used for a dwelling. If this property were to be used for a dwelling, it would have to meet the minimum lot area and width as provided in Sec. 2.11 for A-8 zoning district. 3. To move forward with the proposed use of used car dealership, Owner is required to combine the two existing lots of record, Lot 55 and 56, creating one official lot of record (55A). 4. The subject property has direct access to Old Spanish Trail. FINDINGS 5. There is public water available to the subject property from Old Spanish Trail, with a 10-inch water main directly across the street along the southern right-of-way line of Old Spanish Trail. However, water services are available from adjacent properties at 726 and 748 Old Spanish Trail. Additionally, public sewer is also available to the property with an 8-inch gravity sewer line that intersects with the north right-of-way line of Old Spanish Trail at 726 Old Spanish Trail, approximately 130 feet from the centerline of the proposed property (Figure 3). 6. The applicant proposes to combine the two lots into one lot (Lot 55A) (Figure 4). 7. The property is located within a special flood hazard area, in flood zone AE11. The land has an elevation of approximately 4.5 feet. Combining the subject property into one larger lot would make any additional development of the property easier given the necessary elevation and grade changes to meet base flood elevation.

Location map and City zoning RECOMMENDATIONS Planning Department Planning & Zoning Commissions Approval TBD FINDINGS 1. The petitioned property contains 0.1 acres and is developed property as a commercial auto shop (Figures 2 and 3). 2. The petitioned property has: • No registered voters (Certificate of Registrar of Voters dated March 21, 2024). • No resident property owners. • The petitioned property has an assessed value of $12,046. Non-resident property owners representing 100% of the assessed value of the petitioned property signed the Annexation Petition. • Certificate of Ownership, and Certificate of Ownership and Assessed Valuation dated April 3, 2024. 3. The petitioned property is not contiguous to the City’s corporate limits. City jurisdictional properties are located directly opposite Bosworth Street, approximately 35 feet. (Figure 1) PC & ZC Page 1 of 6 A24-03 & Z24-04 Distributed May 9, 2024 Prepared by T Alexander 4. Bosworth Street is a 50 foot right-of-way currently within the St Tammany Parish jurisdiction, with an improved asphalt surface and a combination of covered concrete culverts and open drainage ditches on both sides between Coast Boulevard and Old Spanish Trail. 5. The subject property is zoned by the Parish as HC-2 Highway Commercial (Figure 4). The applicants propose to establish City zoning as C-4 Highway Commercial. 6. C-4 allows similar uses as HC-2; it does not allow more intense uses. 7. For the purpose of the Sales Tax Enhancement Plan, the property is developed commercial. The Parish needs to concur to this annexation; the Planning Department sent notification to the Parish on April 8, 2024. 8. The subject property is located on a Parish local road – Bosworth Street, approximately 125 feet northeast of Old Spanish Trail. 9. Other nearby properties along Bosworth and Old Spanish Trail are HC-2 and C-4 (Figures 1 and 4). 10. C-4 is appropriate for this location because of its location off a major road and proximity to other properties with the same or similar commercial zoning. 11. City water is approximately 125 feet from the southeast corner of the subject property on Bosworth St from Old Spanish Trail. It is believed a water extension line may be immediately adjacent to the subject property. City sewer is available immediately across the street currently servicing 56634 Bosworth St (Figure 5). Applicants understand the property will be required to connect to City water and sewer. 12. The property is located within a special flood hazard area, in flood zone AE12. The land has an elevation of approximately 9 feet. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. The Planning Department finds the annexation is reasonable for the following reasons: • Configuration of municipal boundaries to fill in gaps. • The character of the area is already urbanized. • Supported by the City’s Comprehensive Plan. 2. The Planning Department finds the annexation and zoning map amendment requests meet applicable requirements and are appropriate. 3. The annexation of all or a portion of the Bosworth Street right-of-way may need to be considered by City Council based on the recommendation of the Planning & Zoning Commissions, the City Engineering Department, and the City Attorney.
