An architect's rendering of the Pine Street view of the rear of the Audubon Charter School expansion.
With plans finalized for a mid-winter move to a temporary location in Gentilly, Audubon Charter School is now moving forward with preparations for renovations to its Broadway campus.
The expansion design settled upon by architects, teachers and parents will extend the rear of the school building much closer to Pine Street. The city normally requires a 25-foot setback for a school’s backyard, but the design only provides 10 feet, so the school must appear before the city Board of Zoning Adjustments on Monday to request a waiver of the remaining 15 feet.
The meeting begins at 10 a.m. Monday at in the City Council chambers at City Hall, 1300 Perdido Street.
Also included on Monday’s docket, by neighborhood:
- Audubon | An addition to a house that will reduce the side yard space at 17 Richmond Place, and permission for two houses on one lot at 6016 Annunciation.
- Central City | Construction on lots that are too small for a duplex at 1413 S. Saratoga and for four-unit residences at 3922 Thalia and 2417 Freret.
