Jarreau’s Spanish Town development set to go before Planning Commission

An infill development on Spanish Town Road is set to go before the city-parish Planning Commission today. Donnie Jarreau wants to build The Elysian, which will feature 100 units and 900 square feet of office space. Jarreau bought the property east and south of Interstate 110 in 2008 and has planned to redevelop the site for several years. Additions to Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center are also on the commission’s agenda. The hospital wants to renovate and expand its emergency and trauma center and build a 10-story heart and vascular center building.

In a separate action, the Planning Commission is set to vote on planned unit development rezoning for a 43-acre mixed-use development on Pecue Lane. Pecue Place would be built near Interstate 10 and would include 1.2 million square feet of office and retail space. Staffers have recommended approving that project, along with the first phase of the Long Farm development, near the intersection of Barringer Foreman Road and Jefferson Highway. Also on the agenda is a parking waiver for the old Blockbuster Video building at Highland Road and State Street. Plans are to put a Five Guys Burgers and Fries in the space, along with a Momma Goldberg’s Deli.
