Attorney General Jeff Landry just released a summary of his offices’ Opinions from May 9-13, including #16-0011 in response Ascension Parish’s request to clarify powers of the Planning Commission.  The entire summary, devoid of jurisprudential analysis, reads:

Pursuant to La. R.S. 33:101.1, the Ascension Parish Planning Commission has the authority to deny an application seeking approval of a subdivision when the plat meets all statutory and regulatory requirements. The standard of review that will be applied by a court on judicial review of an application which meets all statutory and regulatory requirements is strict scrutiny. (Andrews)

Op to Mr. O’Neil Parenton, Parish Attorney, Ascension Parish, Donaldsonville, LA Date Released: May 10, 2016
