Jill Broussard Schwertner is attempting to sell, or lease, the property located at 1175 Reynolds Road. Although contractors have previously been located here, the property is zoned GC-MD (General Commercial - Multiple Family Dwelling) which does not allow for outside storage or a laydown yard without a Specific Use Permit. Multiple buyers/tenants have showed interest in the property, but they all require outside storage. Property located to the east is zoned LI (Light Industrial) and the requested uses would blend well with neighboring uses. A property to the south, also zoned GC-MD will serve as a buffer to the proposed uses. Please note that final occupancy approval is subject to review and acceptance of submitted plans and field inspections to verify compliance with applicable codes. Exhibits are attached.
