Discussion Items
- 2026-2-HOP – Thrivance Health dba Reflourish Wellness: Applicant Cheree Harris, a board-certified nurse practitioner, requested a home occupation permit to operate a 100% virtual wellness business from her residence at 128 Duhe Drive, Hahnville. She stated that the business would involve only virtual appointments and would not affect the residential appearance or generate extra traffic. Staff recommended approval, noting the business requires oversight from the Louisiana State Board of Nursing, the Department of Health, and the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. The commission unanimously approved the request.
- 2026-7-MIN – Resubdivision of Lots 9B1 and 9B2: Applicant Zachary Hogan requested a lot line shift to create lots 9B1A and 9B2A at 815 Barber Road, Paradis. The resulting lot 9B2A would be landlocked, lacking direct street frontage, but the applicant submitted a waiver request citing a 30-foot servitude through adjacent lot 9A established during a previous resubdivision. Staff had no objection to the waiver. The commission unanimously approved the subdivision and waiver.
- 2026-4-SPU – Modular Home at 214 Wenger Road: Keith and Sherry Petit requested a special permit use to construct a modular home in an R-1A zoning district. The proposed unit is a four-bedroom, two-bath residential modular home to be placed on a permanent foundation. Staff confirmed the request meets all applicable review criteria. The commission chairman (Mr. Keene) noted a direct relative interest and abstained, leaving the chair to Mr. Price. The remaining commissioners unanimously approved the permit.
- Rescheduling of July 2026 Meeting: The commission discussed the regular July 2, 2026 meeting date falling on the day before the July 4th holiday. Several members indicated potential conflicts. A motion was made and seconded to move the meeting to July 9, 2026. The motion passed unanimously.

The appellant applicant requests a lot line shift of lots 9B1 and 9B2, creating lots 9B1A and 9B2A. The lots meet the minimum area and with requirements for their respective zoning districts, but lot 9b2A does not have direct access from a street and is considered landlocked, failing to meet the arrangement requirement, which states all lots shall possess frontage on a street or roadway that meets the specifications of these regulations.

This item is a minor subdivision request to simply swing a lot line, which I cut off the corner of the lot I own prior to me owning it, such that my lot would now become squared off with the rear of lot 9B-1A that is owned by my uncle. This request is being made in order to accommodate our planned positioning of the new home.
