3.2.8 City Planning Commission Approval (Minor Subdivision requiring Commission Approval & Major Subdivisions)

Subdivisions that do not qualify for administrative approval shall be considered by the City Planning Commission. In accordance with Louisiana Revised Statues, the City Planning Commission shall approve or deny the proposed subdivision within 60 days of the submission date. An action by the City Planning Commission that fails to obtain a legal majority vote shall be considered to be a denial.

If the City Planning Commission fails to act within 60 days, the subdivision plat shall be deemed to have been approved. The subdivision applicant may waive this requirement and request an extension of the 60 day approval period.

For proposals that are consistent with the guidelines in the Subdivision Regulations, the Commission may grant Preliminary Subdivision Plan Approval to the subdivision request, stating the conditions to be met prior to Final Subdivision Plan Approval of the proposal. If the Commission disapproves the proposed subdivision, it shall state the grounds of disapproval. The applicant may file an appeal in the manner prescribed in Section 3.4. of these Regulations.
