AGENDA FOR THE LAKE CHARLES HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION Agenda Oct. 19, 2026 326 Pujo Street City Council Chambers 5:00 P.M. OPEN MEETING ROLL CALL SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS 1. MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 21, 2026 HPC meeting HPC 26-013 LAKE CHARLES ZONING ORDINANCE CO. 10598 APPLICANT: JOSEPH & LASHAWNA EDWARDS SUBJECT: 527 DIVISION ST Applicant is requesting to appeal the denial by planning staff of a minor conditional use permit to establish a short-term rental for the single-family structure located at 527 DIVISION ST. regulated by Ordinance 19433, effective 12-7-2022. STAFF FINDINGS: The on-site and site plan reviews revealed that the applicant is requesting to establish a short-term rental in a Neighborhood Zoning District. It is the intent of the City, through ordinance 19433, to allow the Short-Term Rental of dwellings within the corporate limits of the City of Lake Charles and to establish minimum standards for their use while also minimizing the incompatibility with the surrounding residential areas. These standards provide additional protection for the substantial investment, both of private and public, being made while promoting a mix of lodging options that support the Citys tourism base and local economy, and upholding the health, safety and welfare of the public. Ordinance 20431 requires the issuance of a Minor Conditional Use approval in order to establish a Short Term Rental within Residential and Neighborhood Zoning Districts. Additionally ordinance 20499 established that no short term Rentals will be permitted within 1,000 feet of an existing lawfully permitted Short-Term Rental. Staffs review found that the proposed location is less than 100 feet from the Downtown Development Authority district, regulated by the smart code which is supportive of this use and exempt from the 1000 feet separation requirement. The proposed location is located on an arterial/collector street. Staff also identified evidence of existing Short-Term rentals within 1000 feet of the proposed property at 618 Ford street, 624 Ford Street, 705 Drew Street, and 515 Division Street.
