2. That shite is flooding so badly right now that it's hard to imagine pushing it all into the city's storm system or a retention pond will remedy the situation.
It's backing water up all the way into Riverbend Subdivision now.

108 apartment units? That should kill it right there.
Does St. George, require site plans be submitted to the city for approval?

Look what happened to Coursey Boulevard.

No one is even mentioning the fricking VA hospital that is right there on the plans?
They are just going to drop a government hospital next to these existing homes. And that is going to make traffic awful.
The Klienpeters have enough money. I don’t have any sympathy if they lose this one, the land isn’t worthless. Just can’t be used the way that they can extract the most money with no regard for everyone else.

So the interchange was planned for decades, the zoning was already there, and most of the neighboring subdivisions exist because the Kleinpeters sold the land for them.
But somehow the shocking, unforeseen event is that the last remaining tract might get developed according to the zoning it already had?
Briarwood was being built when Clinton was president. Woodridge went up in the early 2000s. The Pecue interchange certainly wasn't some secret government project hidden from public view.
Defending the zoning change isn't "preserving the neighborhoods from encroachment." It's feigning stupidity to stop something residents damn well knew was coming. If you bought next to a planned interstate interchange and land already designated for higher-intensity development, you don't get to act blindsided thirty years later when someone decides to develop it.

Because developers have the money and ear of state and especially local regulators. And any time something more stringent than the status quo is proposed they throw a fit and it gets killed.
You even see it at the federal level with some of these executive orders pushing for bypassing regulations in favor of more development.
How do they get passed in nearly every other city?
Permeable paving should be a no brainer in Louisiana for any large concrete parking area. .

On top of that, St. George should be eager to get a revenue generating development online because, fiscally speaking, what exactly is the non-property tax engine there right now?
There aren’t major commercial corridors carrying the load. The tax base is mostly houses, churches, schools, and a scattering of strip centers trying to pass for a retail economy while most residents still drive into Baton Rouge to spend real money. Because Baton Rouge retained the region’s dominant retail and healthcare corridors (Siegen, Bluebonnet, Acadian, Essen, and College) most of which are anchored by major arterial and interstate access routes.
Opposing development at one of the few logical high-value commercial sites inside St. George seems counterintuitive to setting up the city for success.

Kleinpeter wants to BR St. George and the fact that St. George is controlling the development that EBR has historically allowed to run wild - they mad.
All of EBR's drainage issues are caused by over development allowed by BR City hall over the years.

This might be the dumbest argument I've read on here. Cities develop and rezone all the time to accommodate the changing nature of the area and/or new priorities/learned lessons
Because something was originally zoned one thing back when Clinton was president, the city can't change course prior to development? Can't learn from the shitty city planning that everyone curses every rush hour or a missive city wide flood in 2016?

This needs to be documented. They are building in a Type 1 Conveyance Zone which stipulates their project cannot cause any flooding impact to surrounding properties. I mean frick they’re literally building in a designated wetland.

Sorry to say it, but F Kleinpeter.
They really feel the best path is to nuke the city to get their way?
I have friends who have to do business with the Kleinpeter’s and nobody has nice things to say.
The fact they want to put apartments (which will go sec8) and VA hospitals in STG is disgusting. They are going to cause the ghetto to come to the front door of the city.
What a bullshite stunt.
