§ 33-2.27. Ministerial exceptions.

(a)

To facilitate flexibility in design while maintaining the health, safety, and welfare of the public, the planning director, upon consideration of LURTC comments, may grant ministerial exceptions, where specifically authorized by the Code, where the applicant demonstrates, through documentation based on generally accepted planning and urban design principles, that full compliance would be impracticable due to site or other physical constraints, or that an alternative approach would achieve the purposes of the standards without posing a threat to health and safety or degrading the general welfare.

(b)

Where the planning director does not grant a ministerial exception, the applicant may appeal the decision made by the planning director to the parish council. Upon consideration of the written report of the planning director, the council shall decide the appeal by adoption of a resolution and may reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or may modify the decision appealed as provided in the resolution.
