The Baton Rouge City Planning and Zoning Commission approved its consent agenda at the Oct. 20 meeting, clearing several zoning map changes and related items that staff certified as consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the Unified Development Code.

Staff listed consent items recommended for approval: Case 3425 (4914 Government Street: rezone from Light Commercial C1 to Commercial Alcoholic Beverage Restaurant CAB1), Case 3725 (1927 South River Road: rezone from Planned Unit Development SPUD to Heavy Commercial HC2), Case 3825 (1857 Government Street: rezone from CAB1 to CAB2), Case 3925 (477 Burbank Drive: rezone from SPUD to Light Commercial LC2 and portion CAB2), and Case 4025 (5825875 Airline Highway: rezone from heavy commercial/CAB2 and CAB1 to General Residential A4). Staff certified these items as consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and UDC.

One item noted for deferral was CS 11 25 (WI Pettit Tract, 7740 Pettit Road): deferred by council member Kenny to Dec. 15. Item 8 (CUP 725, Big Rock Oaks) was pulled from the consent agenda at a commissioner’s request and heard on the regular agenda.

Commissioner Addison moved to approve the remaining consent items; Commissioner Coleman seconded. Seeing no objections, the commission approved the consent agenda in a single vote as presented by staff.
