Upon motion of Albert Menard, duly seconded by Scotty Borel, and unanimously carried, the Board of Aldermen opened a public hearing for Ordinance #2297 (An Ordinance to rezone to a C-2 Zoning District, as described in Chapter 23 of the Code of Ordinances, the Zoning Ordinance, at Sec. 23-5.11, the portions of the following lots, only to the extent located within a R-1 Zoning District prior to the adoption of this ordinance, which lots are identified by the St. Martin Parish Assessor as Parcel ID Nos. 0690003142, 0690003043, 0690003543, 06901D1665 and 0690003137, all of which are located within the corporate limits of the City of Breaux Bridge; and further to amend the official zoning map of the City of Breaux Bridge, as provided for in Sec. 23-3.3, to reflect same; and matters related thereto and in furtherance thereof).

Planning and zoning director, Jeremy Broussard explained that the purpose of this Ordinance is to rezone the area around Parc Hardy from R-1 to C-2.  He said that the R-1 designation would be more appropriate for a neighborhood park.  Another reason for this rezone is to allow the cell tower recently approved by the Council to be able to be installed.

The area to be rezoned also includes the property where the City plans to extend Mills Avenue to Champagne Boulevard.  The C-3 designation would allow for this extension.

Councilman Melancon asked if the C-3 zone would accommodate municipal or civic structures.

Mr. Broussard stated that as the zoning ordinance currently stands, there are no designated zones for municipal or civic structures.

Upon motion of Albert Menard, duly seconded by Eddy Leblanc, and unanimously carried, the Public Hearing on Ordinance #2297 was closed.

Upon motion of Albert Menard, duly seconded by Eddy Leblanc, and unanimously carried, the Board  of Aldermen opened a public hearing for Ordinance #2298 (An Ordinance to amend Chapter 6 of the Code of Ordinances by the repeal, amendment, revision; enactment, and/or re-enactment of Sections 6 -16, 6-20, 6-25, 6-26, 6-27, 6-28, 6-29, 6-51, 6-81, 6-82, 6-101, 6-121 and 6-129 regarding buildings and building regulations and matters related thereto).

Planning and zoning director, Jeremy Broussard explained that this ordinance pertains to building codes and inspections. 

City Attorney, Bart Hebert explained that this ordinance would allow the City to be able to follow the state guidelines regarding building codes without having to change them each time the state made new requirements and regulations.  The City would always be up to date with the current state standards.

Mr. Broussard stated that this ordinance would also implement the fee schedule for such services.

Councilman Melancon asked if “Registration Fees” were the same as “Occupational Licenses.”   Mr. Broussard answered that no, they were different fees.  If a company is located outside of the City limits, the City cannot enforce having them get an occupational license.  The City can, however, require a registration fee to do work within the City, which would allow the City to verify that a contractor is properly licensed and insured.

Councilman Melancon asked if the City had anything in place to hold accountable contractors that do not do quality work.

City Attorney, Bart Hebert replied that the City can only verify whether or not the contractor is properly licenses and insured.

Mr. Broussard stated that if complaints would come to the City, he could pass them along to State Board of further action, if necessary.

Upon motion of Albert Menard, duly seconded by Scotty Borel, and unanimously carried, the Board of Aldermen closed the Public Hearing for Ordinance #2298.

Upon motion of Albert Menard, duly seconded by Scotty Borel, and unanimously carried, the Board of Aldermen open a public hearing for Ordinance #2299 (An ordinance to rezone to a R-4 Zoning District, as described in Chapter 23 of the Code of Ordinances, the Zoning Ordinance, at Sec. 23-5.5, each and every lot abutting Richard Street, Sterling Street, William Street, Nettie Street, Skipper Street and Castille Street, and each and every lot east of Margaret Street and west of Alexander Street and abutting Anderson Street, all of which are located within the corporate limits of the City of Breaux Bridge and more particularly identified as outlined in “red”  on map attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit “A” and further to amend the official zoning map of the City of Breaux Bridge, as provided for in Sec. 23-3.3, to reflect same; and matters related thereto and in furtherance thereof ).

Planning and zoning director, Jeremy Broussard explained he has gotten several requests from this area of the City to put or replace mobile homes. Currently, mobile homes are prohibited from being placed in this area.   He stated that because much of this area contains mobile homes, it would make sense to zone it accordingly. 

A citizen asked if any of the rezone would include commercial zoning.  Mr. Broussard stated that only those businesses that are currently operating would be “grandfathered” in and if any of these businesses were to close for 12 months, the zone would revert to residential.

Upon motion of Albert Menard, duly seconded by Eddy Leblanc and unanimously carried, the Board of Aldermen closed the Public Hearing for Ordinance #2299 (An ordinance to rezone to a R-4 Zoning District, as described in Chapter 23 of the Code of Ordinances, the Zoning Ordinance, at Sec. 23-5.5, each and every lot abutting Richard Street, Sterling Street, William Street, Nettie Street, Skipper Street and Castille Street, and each and every lot east of Margaret Street and west of Alexander Street and abutting Anderson Street, all of which are located within the corporate limits of the City of Breaux Bridge and more particularly identified as outlined in “red”  on map attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit “A” and further to amend the official zoning map of the City of Breaux Bridge, as provided for in Sec. 23-3.3, to reflect same; and matters related thereto and in furtherance thereof ).
