  1. St. Tammany Parish Land Use Regulatory OrdinanceNo. 523 Comprehensive Re-zoning of the St. Tammany Parish Zoning Ordinance

  2. Why re-draft the Ordinance? • As zoning ordinances are amended over time, conflicts and inconsistencies develop • New development methods, concepts and technologies create/highlight shortcomings • Community standards and expectations change as the community grows • Legislative and judicial actions require review of processes and procedures

  3. Expansion of Districts • The dramatic steps between land use districts often results in difficult decisions • Conditional uses were used to address these concerns • More districts can provide relief without requiring extensive public hearings for each use

  4. Proposed Residential Districts • Four E-Estate Districts to preserve large parcel rural areas of the Parish • Six A-Single Family Districts to provide for suburban level development • Three A-Two Family/Multiple Family to provide density in appropriate areas

  5. Proposed Commercial Districts • Six NC-Neighborhood Commercial Districts • Three Medical Use Districts • Two Educational Use Districts • One Public Facilities District • Four Highway Commercial Districts • Three Industrial District • One Planned Business Campus • One Animal Training/Housing District • One Gaming District

  11. Overlays • PUD Overlay replaces the PUD zoning classification to allow the reversion of the approval to the underlying zoning if the project does not develop in a timely fashion • Manufactured Housing Overlay permits the “by-right” use of manufactured housing in areas deemed appropriate for such use • MHO also prohibits the placement of manufactured housing in inappropriate locations • The Slidell Airport Overlay protects the airspace around the Slidell Airport • Municipal Interface Overlay allows some coordination and joint reviews between the Parish Government and participating municipalities • Planned Corridor Overlay maintains the PCO standards along Highway 21 and Gause Boulevard

  12. Planned Unit Developments • Basic Procedure is adequate • Some additional standards are needed • Lack of adequate zoning is primary problem • Lack of procedural guidance has cause confusion and conflict • PUD’s that do not develop in a timely fashion can result in substandard development

  13. Traditional Neighborhood Development • In addition to PUD, the ordinance includes a process and standards for Traditional Neighborhood Developments • TND’s allow mixed use development at a human scale similar to the older cities and towns such as: • Charleston • Savannah • Santa Fe • Downtown Covington • Trailhead in Mandeville • Olde Town Slidell • Madisonville • Abita Springs

  14. Re-zoning Process • Land Use Survey • Public Comment, including Greenprint • Staff recommendation • Submittal to Zoning Commission • Advertising and Public Hearings • Recommendation to Parish Council • Hearings and adoption

  15. Land Use Survey • Currently underway • Initial study area completed • Continuing in second study area Public Comment • Saturday Meeting • Greenprint Model input • Weekday walk-ins

  16.

  17. Submittal to Zoning Commission • Staff presents recommendation to Zoning Commission • Public Hearing is held after all advertising requirements are met • Commission reacts to input and amends recommendation if necessary • Commission makes formal recommendation to Parish Council

  18. Submittal to Parish Council • Zoning Commission forwards recommendation to Parish Council • Public Hearing is set and held as determined by the Parish Council • Parish Council reacts to input and amends recommendations if necessary • Parish Council adopts Rezoning and sets a date in which that zoning will go into effect
