South Beach BSL subdivision on Tuesday’s P&Z agenda

The folks behind a proposed development that was rebuffed at the October Planning & Zoning meeting will be back Tuesday with modified plans for two parcels fronting Third Street near Ramoneda.

Last time, South Beach BSL, LLC proposed around 67 lots and townhouses, a park and pavilion; this time they want to develop “53 lots, more or less, for a single-family residential development with a minimum of 7,500 square feet per lot and a lot width of 75 feet.”

Neighbors packed the October meeting to oppose the plan and it’s likely they will show up again to weigh in on the new application.

Here’s the full agenda:

CITY OF BAY ST. LOUIS – The City of Bay St. Louis is requesting a text amendment to the Zoning Ordinance.

The proposed amendment does not involve changing the classification of land and is necessary to facilitate accuracy and proper interpretation.

The City is requesting to amend the Section 1306, DECISIONS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, to read as followed:

SECTION 1306: DECISIONS OF THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION

In exercising the above mentioned powers, the Planning and Zoning Commission by a concurring vote of a majority of its members present and voting may recommend that the City Council reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or may modify the order, requirements, decision or determination appealed from; and make such order, requirement, decision or determination as ought to be made. Decisions shall be recommended to the City Council for final action.

In the event of a decision by the Planning and Zoning Commission to recommend denial of an application, the applicant may attend the next scheduled City Council Meeting to appeal the decision. If the applicant desires to appeal the decision and is unable to attend the next scheduled City Council Meeting, he or she may file an appeal with the Clerk of Council no later than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the next scheduled City Council Meeting. After the appeal has been filed with the Clerk of Council, the applicant has thirty (30) days to attend a scheduled City Council Meeting to present his or her appeal. If an appeal is not filed prior to the next scheduled City Council Meeting, the application with the Planning and Zoning recommendation will be heard by the City Council at the next scheduled meeting for approval or denial by the City Council.
