Zoning Commission

Parish of Ascension

December 13, 2017

Item for Consideration:

DC17-04: Revisions to Appendix II of the Ascension Parish Unified Land

Development Code pertaining to Contract Agreements.

The Ascension Parish Office of Planning and Development are requesting removal of the

requirements for Contract Agreements as contained in the Ascension Parish Zoning Code.

Contract Agreements require applicants to execute a contract with the Parish to ensure that

drainage and traffic studies are completed for some new commercial developments within certain

zoning categories. The original requirement was placed in the code prior to these items being

required for all commercial development. Now, however, the Parish has specific requirements

for traffic and drainage studies, and the Contract Agreement is no longer necessary.

The removal of Contract Agreements, as submitted, will require certain modifications in the

form of additions, deletions and modifications to portions of the existing Unified Land

Development Code. Those changes are as follows:

Proposed: Section 17-2060

Delete the following section in its entirety:

Reason for deletion: The elimination of this section removes the Contract Agreement provision

from the Code.

Proposed: Section 17-2070.B

Delete the following section:

Reason for revision: The elimination of this section eliminates conflict with the removal of the

Contract Agreement provision from the Code.

Proposed: Section 17-2070.E
