Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana – The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury is preparing for a packed house at the upcoming Planning and Zoning Board meeting, scheduled for November 19th. Several contentious items on the agenda have generated significant interest among residents, prompting concerns about overflow crowds and limited seating.
According to officials, the meeting room will be subject to strict fire marshal regulations, which dictate maximum occupancy limits. To ensure compliance, staff and Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office (CPSO) deputies will be on hand to monitor and enforce these restrictions.
Attendees who are unable to secure a seat in the meeting room will have alternative options to follow the proceedings. Televisions will be set up in the lobby of 1015 Pithon Street in Lake Charles, providing a live feed of the meeting. However, this area is also subject to fire marshal rules, limiting the number of observers who can gather there.
The Planning and Zoning Board has made arrangements to accommodate applicants with items on the agenda, guaranteeing them access and seating in the meeting room. Meanwhile, residents who wish to comment on any of the agenda items are encouraged to submit their feedback in advance via email to [email protected].
For those who are unable to attend the meeting in person due to occupancy limits, a live stream of the proceedings will be available on the parish’s website (calcasieu.gov/cgov) and on Facebook. This will allow residents to stay informed and engaged with the decision-making process, even if they cannot be physically present.
