re: Kleinpeter Family is Throwing a Fit

That would be a dumb argument. But it definitely was not the one I made.

My argument may not have been clear, but it isn't that zoning cannot change, it's that it would be disingenuous to suddenly reframe this as unexpected development encroaching on nearby residential neighborhoods when it has been part of the public planning framework for decades and reflected in the established land-use expectations for the corridor.

At a meeting of the Woodridge Property Owners Association, Planning and Development Director Bryant Dixon allegedly acknowledged that C-2, which the tract has been zoned as for decades, would “normally” convert to MX-4 as the “one for one switch,” but said the Kleinpeter tract was treated differently because the city considered it “overly zoned.”

That may or may not be a valid policy judgment. But the issue is not whether zoning can change. Of course it can. The issue is that this change is happening now, after decades of consistent expectations, and appears to apply a different standard to a single parcel at the point of actual development rather than through a broader, consistent update to the framework.

They’re extremely corrupt and shady by all accounts.

Nope. I just have an intolerance for both lactose and stupidity.

Valid. I definitely didn’t consider all of the car dealerships.

Yeah, I’ve never done business with them, but have known people that have and they all describe them the same way.

I’ve only rubbed shoulders with them in social settings and found them to be arrogant and odd

Vehicle purchases are taxed based upon the buyer’s home address not the address of the dealership.

Yikes. As a fellow working class person,
I definitely never said any of that but go off if it makes you feel better. Clearly some underlying inadequacies happening there. Hope you get the help you need!

frick that family. We want our way so let's try to overturn the LA Supreme Court.

Just horrific land development. This is why we cant have nice things.

FYI. What I understand, the Kleinpeter family has been waiting 30 years for the Pecue Lane interchange to be completed. Under the city of Baton Rouge, their land was zoned as C – 2. The city of St. George is trying to tremendously lower the zoning for this property. The Woodridge neighborhood didn’t complain when the property between them and I 10 was re-zoned to warehouse. My friend said their family would never do something that’s detrimental to the area. I’ve respected their family my entire life. Good, hard-working people. Tiger Droppings needs to include all the facts. Thanks.
