agreement by suit for injunction brought in any court of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION II. That Chapter 33, Unified Development Code, Article 2. Procedures
is hereby amended by creating five divisions and reformatting, renumbering,
clarifying existing regulations, and adding provisions and references, to read
as follows:
The purposes of this Article are to consolidate the procedures for filing and
processing applications for development approval and to allow users to
ascertain the steps involved in obtaining development approvalfrom filing
LEGALS
LEGALS
LEGALS
of an application, reviewing for completeness and compliance with standards

and requirements, and through holding of a public hearing if required. The
provisions of this Article are designed to implement the Parishs Comprehensive
Plan.
DIVISION 1. COMMON PROCEDURES
Sec. 33-2.2. Generally.
Any proposed land use or development shall comply with the procedures of
this UDC. Development approvals are required for all development, unless
otherwise excepted, to ensure compliance with adopted codes, standards, and
regulations, and to ensure consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and policies
of the Parish. This Division describes procedures that are common to multiple
types of applications. Reference is made to the appropriate section of this Code
when procedures and requirements of a particular application are addressed
elsewhere. Generally, the procedures for all applications have five (5) common
elements:
A. Submittal of a complete application, including required fee payment and
appropriate information;
B. Determination of the category of development approval and review of the
submittal by appropriate staff, agencies, and boards;
C. A recommendation, if applicable, and a decision to approve, approve with
conditions, or deny the application;
D. If necessary, amending or appealing the decision; and
E. Recording the decision.
Sec. 33-2.3. Categories of development approvals.
Pursuant to this Article and as described in Table 33-2.3-1, development
approvals comprise three (3) basic categories: legislative (L), quasi-judicial (Q),
and ministerial (M).
A. A legislative development approval requires action by the Parish Council
and includes, but is not limited to, a UDC or zoning text amendment, rezoning,
conditional use permit, or major subdivision, all of which require a public
hearing.
B. A quasi-judicial development approval, which requires a public hearing
and entails procedural due process requirements, involves the application of a
discretionary standard required by this Code. An example is a variance granted
by the Board of Zoning Adjustments.
C. A ministerial development approval involves the application of the standards
of this Code by an administrative official. A public hearing is not required, or, if
required, has already been conducted and the development approval application
ensures that the proposed use complies with the previously approved plat,
plan, or zoning amendment. An example is the issuance of a building permit
by the Director of Inspection and Code Enforcement. Administrative officials
include, but are not limited to, the Directors of Planning and Inspection and
Code Enforcement.

Unless required in this UDC for a specific application type, applicants are
encouraged to meet with staff prior to filing an application to discuss the nature of
the proposed application, application submittal requirements, the procedure for
action, and the standards for evaluation of the application. At the pre-application
conference, the Planning Director, Public Works Director, Inspection and Code
Enforcement Director, or other administrative director may determine that
additional information is necessary to provide for an adequate assessment of
the project. At any time during the processing of any application, additional
information may be required by the decision-maker to ensure compliance with
this UDC.
Sec. 33-2.5. Application and completeness review.
A. Applications. Current application materials shall be made available in the
office of the director responsible for the development approval. Such applications
shall be filed in advance of any public hearing required pursuant to this Code.
The director may establish a schedule for filing any application for development
approval that may require quasi-judicial or legislative action, which schedule
shall provide adequate time for notice and/or publication consistent with State
law or other applicable requirements. Completed applications shall be filed and
processed according to the schedule.
B. Completeness and staff review. Within three (3) days of the submittal of an
application for development approval, the applicable administrative director
shall make a formal determination of completeness. If the application is
incomplete or submitted prematurely, the applicant shall be notified in writing
of the reasons for the determination.
C. The applicable administrative department shall review applications for
compliance with all applicable regulations and with the processes described
in this UDC or other applicable provisions of the Jefferson Parish Code
of Ordinances. This review shall include a determination of the category
of development approval applicable to the application. Regardless of the
development approval process required, the applicant must comply with all
applicable submission, procedural, and substantive provisions of this Code.

Sec. 33-2.21.5. Approvals pending ordinance amendments; moratorium.

A. Upon adoption of a resolution or introduction of an ordinance, the Council
may call for moratorium on development approvals affected by the proposed
amendment or adopt interim development standards. Such moratorium or
interim development standards shall be in effect from the date that a resolution
is adopted or an ordinance is placed in summary for up to one (1) year or until the
effective date of the ordinance, whichever occurs first. The Council action shall
not affect action on completed applications submitted prior to the resolution
or ordinance, but may affect subsequent applications for the same project.
When calling a study or invoking a moratorium, the Council may establish
interim development standards providing for reasonable approval conditions or
exemptions for certain types of development applications that would otherwise
be affected by the study or moratorium. Introduction of an ordinance that conveys
the substantial intent of the Planning Directors findings and recommendations
for the final disposition of a study shall extend a moratorium or interim zoning
regulations for an additional period not to exceed six (6) months or the effective
date of final Council action, whichever comes first.
B. The expiration of a moratorium or interim development standards shall
not result in the expiration of a study. The Planning Director shall notify the
Council ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of a moratorium. At any time
during the ninety (90) day period the Council may extend the moratorium or
interim development regulations by resolution or ordinance for no more than
one (1) additional period not to exceed six (6) months. Upon the expiration of the
moratorium no identical moratorium shall be imposed for a two (2) year period
from the final expiration date of the expired moratorium.
Sec. 33-2.21.6. Subsequent applications.
Whenever a petition or application is filed requesting or proposing a change in
or amendment to this ordinance and said petition of application has been finally
acted upon by the Council in accordance with the above procedure or when
said petition or application has received no action on the part of the Council
within one hundred twenty-six (126) calendar days, or when said petition or
application has been allotted a docket number and officially advertised for
public hearing but has subsequently been withdrawn either before or after said
public hearing has been held, then the Council shall not consider any further
petition or application requesting or proposing such change or amendments for
the same property within two (2) calendar years from the date of the Councils
final legal action on said petition or application, or from the expiration of the
aforesaid one hundred twenty-six-day period in case no action has been taken
by the Council, or from the date of withdrawal of said petition or application
providing, however, that said petition or application has been allotted a docket
number and officially advertised. A change in ownership of property or any
interests therein, or the addition or deletion of property to the application which
does not substantially change the request shall not override the restrictions of
this paragraph. However, the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply in
cases where the Council, Planning Director or Planning Advisory Board wish to
consider a comprehensive zoning or future land use map revision of an area of
more than twenty (20) acres.
Sec. 33-2.22. Planned developments (reserved).
Sec. 33-2.22.1. Preliminary development plan and rezoning (reserved).
Sec. 33-2.22.2. Final development plan (reserved).
Sec. 33-2.23. Special use permit (reserved)
Sec. 33-2.24. Conditional use permit.
This section applies to certain uses, that because of unique characteristics or
potential impacts on adjacent and nearby land uses, are not permitted as a matter
of right but which may, under appropriate standards and factors, be approved.
Compliance with the generally applicable requirements may not be sufficient,
and additional measures and conditions may be necessary to mitigate the impact
of the proposed development. These uses shall be permitted through the issuance
of a conditional use permit (CUP) within a site plan approved by the Parish
Council after ensuring that the use can be appropriately accommodated on the
specific property; that it will conform to the Comprehensive Plan; that it can be
constructed and operated in a manner that is compatible with the surrounding
land uses and overall character of the community; and that the public interest,
health, safety, and general welfare will be promoted. For purposes of this Code,
a special permitted use is the same as a conditional use.
A. Applicability. The provisions of this section apply to any application for
approval of a conditional use enumerated by a C in the applicable use matrix.
Conditional uses are those uses that may be compatible with the land uses
permitted by right but that require individual review of their location, design,
and configuration, and the imposition of conditions or mitigations in order to
ensure the appropriateness of the use at a particular location within the zoning
district.
B. Initiation. An owner of real property in unincorporated Jefferson Parish or
the owners authorized applicant may apply for a CUP for that property by filing
an application with the Planning Department. The application shall include
the material required for a site plan in the Appendix of this UDC and shall
provide substantial competent evidence in the form of data, reports, or impact
assessments to support findings related to the suitability of the use.
C. Procedure and approval. When the Planning Director has determined that
the application is complete, she shall forward the application to the LURTC for
review and comment. After LURTC review, the Planning Director shall make
findings and a technical recommendation regarding approval of the CUP and
submit her findings and recommendation to the PAB and Council in accordance
with the procedures of subsections A, B, C, and D of Sec. 33-2.21.4 Decision
makers of this Division. Pursuant to these procedures, a CUP shall require a
public hearing. The Planning Director and PAB may concurrently process and
review the CUP and its site plan with a concept plan, rezoning, or subdivision
application for the same property. The Council shall make the final decision
regarding approval of the CUP and may concurrently take action on related
applications for concept plan, rezoning, or subdivision.
D. Conditions. In approving any CUP, the Council may:
1. Impose such reasonable standards, conditions, or requirements, in addition
to or that supersede any standard specified in this Code, or within federal or
state regulations and standards if federal or state provisions allow additional
or stricter application, as the Council may deem necessary to protect the public
interest and welfare. Such additional standards may include, but are not be
limited to:
a. Availability and financing of adequate public facilities;
b. Dedication or reservation of land;
c. Impact fees;
d. Creation of special assessment districts;
e. Creation of restrictive covenants, easements, or servitudes;
f. Special setbacks, yard or area requirements;
g. Increased screening, landscaping, or buffering requirements;
h. Development phasing;
i. Standards pertaining to traffic, circulation, lighting, hours of operation,
vibration, noise, odor, dust, smoke, gas, or other performance-related impact,
or protection of environmentally sensitive areas and similar characteristics; and
j. Provision of sustainable features;
2. Require that a performance guarantee be posted and a development
agreement be entered into by the applicant to ensure continued compliance with
all conditions and requirements as may be specified, in accordance with Article
2 Procedures, Division 4 Development agreements of this UDC.
E. Approval criteria. A conditional use is permitted only if the applicant
demonstrates that:
1. The proposed use shall comply with all applicable regulations of this Code;
2. The proposed use shall promote a high quality of development and will be
compatible with existing development and development anticipated in the
future, including recreational uses, public facilities, and open space resources.
3. The establishment, maintenance, or operation of the proposed use shall
not have adverse impacts on the health, safety, comfort, or general welfare of
persons living or working in the area, and shall not be injurious to property or
improvements in the area. In making such a determination, consideration shall
be given to:
a. The location, type, and height of buildings, structures, or facilities;
b. The type and extent of landscaping, screening, and buffering on the site; and
c. Whether the proposed use is consistent with the goals, objectives, policies, or
future land use or development patterns of the comprehensive plan for the area,
especially ones that encourage mixed uses or densities;
4. The proposed use shall not be noxious or offensive by reason of vibration,
noise, odor, dust, smoke, or gas;
5. Adequate public facilities shall be provided as set forth in Article 7, Adequate
public facilities required of this UDC;
6. Adequate measures shall be taken to provide ingress, egress, and interior
circulation so designed as to minimize traffic hazards and congestion on the
public streets and facilitate safe and convenient multi-modal transportation for
vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists;
7. The proposed use shall not impede the orderly development and improvement
of surrounding property or the area;
8. The public interest and welfare supporting the proposed use shall be sufficient
to outweigh the individual interests that may be adversely affected by the
establishment of the proposed use.
F. Subsequent applications. An application for CUP may be withdrawn at any
time. If the application has been advertised for public hearing in compliance
with the procedures of this UDC, an application requesting substantially the
same use on all or part of the same described land shall not be reconsidered
LEGALS
LEGALS
LEGALS
within one (1) year of withdrawal. No application for a CUP for any lot or parcel
that requests the same use and same conditions shall be considered within one
(1) year of a final decision denying the application.
G. Amendments. An amendment is a request for any enlargement, expansion,
increase in intensity or density, relocation, or modification of any condition of
a previously approved and currently valid CUP. Unless otherwise provided,
amendments shall be processed as follows:
1. Minor amendment. After review and comment from LURTC the Planning
Director may approve a shift of five (5) percent or less, calculated cumulatively
over what was approved in the initial CUP application, in the width, length,
depth, or diameter of the location of a building, structure, or impervious surface
to meet a foundation or similar study or accommodate a condition discovered
during construction; or a five (5) percent or less increase in either building
footprint, gross floor area, or impervious surface calculated cumulatively over
what was approved in the initial CUP application; provided that such minor
changes comply with the following criteria:
a. No previous minor modification has been granted pursuant to this section;
b. There will be no detrimental impact on any adjacent property caused by
significant change in appearance or use of the property or any other contributing
factor;
c. The change does not involve the storage of hazardous, flammable, or toxic
materials as determined by the Fire Director or Chief;
d. Nothing in the currently valid CUP precludes or otherwise limits such
expansion or enlargement; and
e. The proposal conforms to the requirements of this UDC, complies with all
regulations of this Code, and is in keeping with the intent of the comprehensive
plan.
2. Major amendment. Any proposed amendment other than those provided in
this section for minor amendment are considered a major amendment and shall
be approved in the same manner and under the same procedures as are applicable
to the issuance of the initial development approval.
H. Nonconforming uses. For an existing and currently valid conditional use that
is no longer allowed as a conditional use in the zoning district in which it is
located, the Parish Council, upon receipt of an application forwarded by the
Planning Director, may review and approve an amendment to said development
approval, provided that such amendment does not allow the use to be enlarged,
expanded, increased in intensity, relocated, or continued beyond any limitation
specified in the existing use development approval or established in Chapter 40,
Zoning, Article XXXVII Nonconforming uses of this Code.
I. Recordation. A copy of all plans, agreements, ordinances, resolutions, or other
documents associated with the authorization of a conditional use pursuant to
this section shall be recorded at the expense of the applicant in the name of the
property owner in the office of the Jefferson Parish Clerk of Court, pursuant to
the procedures of Sec. 33-2.25.4 Recordation of approved site plan of this UDC.
J. Renewal. Unless excepted in a zoning district or specific use standard, or
otherwise provided, a conditional use shall be renewed every two (2) years
subject to the provisions of Sec. 40-764 Renewal of Special Permitted Use in
Article XL. Special Permitted Uses of Chapter 40 Zoning of this Code.
Sec. 33-2.25. Site plan.
Site plans are intended to provide detailed information about the location,
design, and configuration of proposed buildings, parking, accessways,
landscaping, yards, and other features of site development. This information is
needed to demonstrate compliance with applicable requirements for the location
and type of development and is vital to ensure the continued health, safety, and
welfare of the general public. Recognizing that administrative staff is capable of
evaluating site plans as a matter of course in the review of development permits,
that the land development regulations are specific in terms of their requirements,
including which uses are subject to site plan review and in which zoning districts
site plan review shall occur, that the need for a public hearing is reduced for
most projects, and in accordance with law, the Parish establishes a ministerial or
staff procedure for site plan approval and provides a ministerial/quasi-judicial
procedure and a legislative procedure for site plans that require a public hearing
and action by the Board of Zoning Adjustments or the Parish Council.
Sec. 33-2.25.2. Applicability.
Site plans shall be required for development approvals as described in Table 332.25.2-1. and provided in the standards for each zoning district of this UDC or in
this Code for a specific use, building type, or development pattern. In addition
to establishing site plan applicability standards, zoning district standards may
modify site plan review procedures and submittal requirements.

Sec. 33-2.25.3. Development review process.
Unless otherwise provided in this Code, site plans shall be submitted to the
Planning Department. The Planning Director shall forward the site plan to the
LURTC for review and comment prior to action. Lack of findings from LURTC
within ten (10) days shall be construed as no objection to approval. After
evaluating LURTC comments and the site plans compliance with applicable
development standards, the Planning Director shall render a decision: 1) the
application qualifies for ministerial development approval; 2) the application
qualifies for ministerial/quasi-judicial development approval; or 3) the
application is subject to legislative development approval.
A. Ministerial development approval.
Unless otherwise provided in this Code, the Planning Director shall approve
the site plan if it fully complies with the criteria and standards set forth in the
applicable zoning district and other applicable sections of this UDC, or Chapters
of this Code.
B. Ministerial/Quasi-judicial development approval.
If the standards of the zoning district or in other applicable sections of this
Code authorize the Board of Zoning Adjustments (BZA) to grant a variance
or exception for criteria and standards and the applicant requests this quasijudicial action, the Planning Director shall forward the application with a
recommendation regarding approval to the BZA and shall withhold approval of
the site plan until the BZA takes final action.
C. Legislative development approval.
If the standards of the zoning district or in other applicable sections of this
Code authorize the Parish Council to approve a concept or development plan,
or grant a variance, waiver, or exception for criteria and standards and the
applicant requests this legislative action, the Planning Director shall forward
the application with a recommendation regarding approval to the Old Metairie
Commission or the Planning Advisory Board, as applicable, for a public hearing
and recommendation and to the Council for final action.
E. Submittal requirements.
The application for site plan review shall include the information listed in the
Appendix of this UDC, unless additional information is required by the zoning
district standards or other applicable sections of this Code, or the Planning
Director finds, in writing, that specific information is not required or additional
information is required to evaluate compliance with applicable development
standards.
F. Effect of approval.
Final site plan approval, as indicated by the dated signature of the Council
Chairman or Planning Director, as applicable, shall be valid for a period of
one (1) year, except that a phasing plan approved by the Council or Planning
Director, as applicable, may provide for approval of discreet project phases over
a period of up to three (3) years. Site plan approvals of longer than three (3) years
may be authorized through Parish Council approval of a development agreement
as provided in Division 4, Development Agreements, in this Article.
Sec. 33-2.25.4. Recordation of approved site plan.
A. For ministerial approval of a site plan, the applicant shall submit one (1)
original of the final site plan to the Planning Department for the Planning
Directors dated signature, which shall indicate final approval. Within three
(3) days of the submittal of the plan, the Planning Department shall notify the
applicant that the Director has signed the plan. The applicant shall return the
original and five (5) copies of the signed site plan to the Planning Department.
Within ten (10) days of receipt of the original and copies from the applicant,
the Planning Director shall convey the approved site plan to the Clerk of Court
for recordation and two (2) copies of the recorded plan to the Department of
Inspection and Code Enforcement. Recordation of the approved site plan shall
be initiated by the Planning Department rather than the applicant, and shall
be withheld until the requested number of site plans has been received by the
Planning Department.
B. When the Council approves the site plan, the applicant shall submit to the
Planning Department one (1) original and five (5) copies of the final site plan
of the project as approved by the Council. After certification by the Planning
Director that the submitted plans conform to the approval of the Council,
as indicated by the dated signature of the Planning Director, the Planning
Department shall submit the original and four (4) copies of the certified site
plan to the Clerk of Council who shall submit the site plans to the Clerk of
Court for recordation with the council ordinance or resolution that approved the
project, within sixty (60) calendar days of the effective date of the ordinance,
LEGALS
LEGALS
LEGALS
resolution, or certification by the Planning Director that the site plan conforms
to the approval of the Council, whichever is later. After recordation, the Clerk of
Council shall convey the original to the Planning Department and two (2) copies
of the recorded site plan to the Department of Inspection and Code Enforcement,
and shall file one (1) copy of the recorded site plan with the Clerk of Court and
one (1) copy with the Clerk of Council.
C. The Department of Inspection and Code Enforcement shall not issue a building
permit until it receives the recorded site plan from the Planning Department or
Clerk of Council, as applicable. The site plan indicating the recordation shall be
retained by the Clerk of Council, if applicable, and by the Planning Department
and the Department of Inspection and Code Enforcement, which shall flag
properties subject to site plans in its records. If approval of the site plan lapses
because no building permit has been issued or the building permit lapses and has
not been reactivated, then the recorded site plan shall be deemed null and void.
All approved site plans shall make reference to such conveyance cancellation on
the plans prior to recordation.
D. Upon notification in writing from the Director of Inspection and Code
Enforcement that site plan approval has lapsed for a property flagged for site
plan approval, the Planning Director shall notify, if applicable, the Council in
writing that an act of release with the Clerk of Court is necessary to provide
inscription that releases the property from the recorded site plan. The Council
shall authorize an act of release by resolution directing the Clerk of Council to
file such act with the Clerk of Court. The Planning Director or Clerk of Council,
as applicable, shall provide a copy of the recorded release to the Planning
Department and the Department of Inspection and Code Enforcement.
E. Unless an act of release is filed, the recorded site plan shall thereafter be
binding upon the applicants, their heirs, successors, and assigns; shall limit and
control the issuance and validity of permits and certificates; and shall restrict and
limit the use and operation of all land and structures within the area designated
in the site plan and approval thereof. The initial application for site plan review
shall include filing fees for recordation and release.

DIVISION 3. SUBDIVISION
Sec. 33-2.30. Exemptions.
The following divisions of land shall be exempt from compliance with the
subdivision procedures established in this UDC:

Sec. 33-2.31. Minor Subdivision
Sec. 33-2.31.1.Purpose.
The provision of adequate data concerning land use, utility requirements, traffic
impact, streets, servitudes, and dedications is vital to ensure the continued
health, safety, and welfare of the Parishs residents. Recognizing that the
significance of this data is reduced for small-scale projects that are most heavily
impacted by cost of producing this data, that the need for a public hearing is
reduced for most small projects, and in accordance with law, the Parish herein
establishes a simplified procedure for minor subdivisions.
Sec. 33-2.31.2.Applicability.
Any subdivision meeting the criteria established in this section may be submitted
to the Planning Director for ministerial review subject to the requirements of
this section. Plats shall be prepared in accordance with the requirements listed
in the Appendix of this UDC.
A. The realignment or shifting of lot boundary lines including removal,
addition, alignment, or shifting of interior lot boundary lines, or the designation
or re-designation of lot numbers provided the application meets the following
requirements:
1. Does not involve the creation of any new street, right-of-way in full ownership,
or other public improvement but may provide for the dedication, acceptance,
relocation, or deletion of public utility servitudes granted to Jefferson Parish,
other than streets.
2. Does not involve more than two (2) acres of land or ten (10) lots of record.
3. Does not result in the creation of a lot that is below the minimum width, depth,
and area requirements of this code, except when the new width, depth, or area
increases conformance with the minimum width, depth, or area requirements
of this code, without creating greater deficiency in any of these requirements.
4. Does not involve the creation of a subdivision with private street(s) as
described in Sec. 33-7.5 Transportation of this UDC or the creation of a private
or common driveway as described in Sec. 33-6.4 Block and Lot Standards (c)
Single-family residential lots of this UDC.
5. Does not result in a lot of record that is designated with two (2) or more zoning
districts, excluding overlay districts.
6. Does not result in the rear lot line of the new lot adjoining the side lot line of
another lot or the side lot line of the new lot adjoining the rear lot line of another
lot, when the property to be subdivided is within or abutting a residential zoning
district, unless the following conditions are met:
a. The adjacent lot(s) is under the same ownership as the subject lot; or
b. The Planning Director receives no letter of objection after notifying abutting
property owner(s) of the application for minor subdivision. The applicant shall
provide the Planning Department with a notarized list of the names and addresses
of the abutting property owners affected by the change in lot orientation as part
of the application for minor subdivision, and the costs of certified mail shall be
borne by the applicant. Any objection, which must comply with the following
criteria, shall result in a major subdivision application:
(1) Objection must be made in writing and signed by the abutting property
owner(s) objecting to the minor subdivision;
(2) Objection must be received in the Planning Department office within ten (10)
days of the date of postage on the letter notifying the abutting property owner(s)
of the application for minor subdivision; and
(3) Objection to application shall be considered valid only if related to possible
negative impact on neighboring properties if the minor subdivision is approved.
A letter to the Planning Director objecting to the minor subdivision must detail
the abutting property owners concerns regarding the specific impacts that the
proposed minor subdivision may have on the abutting property.
7. Does not result in the creation of a through lot if the abutting lots are lots
with single frontage when the property to be subdivided is within or abutting a
residential zoning district.
8. Otherwise meets all the requirements of the subdivision and zoning ordinances,
including Section 40-182 Application requirements and review procedures for
Planning Department of Article X.5 Metairie Ridge Tree Preservation District
(MRTPD).
B. Parcels of land where a portion has been expropriated or has been dedicated,
sold, or otherwise transferred to the Parish, thereby leaving a severed portion
of the original property that requires a re-designation of lot numbers and
establishment of new lot boundary lines.
C. If any of the following conditions are met, then the application shall be
reviewed as a Major Subdivision:
1. The Planning Director determines that the proposed subdivision creates the
need for off-site public infrastructure improvements that have not been funded
by the Parish or on the Parish capital improvements program; and
2. The Planning Director determines that the proposed subdivision differs
substantially from the neighborhood norm (as defined in this UDC).
Sec. 33-2.31.3.Application and procedure.
This application, with the information required in the Appendix of this UDC,
shall be filed with the Planning Director, who shall review and forward the

services provided to any parcel of land; and
6. There is evidence that the right-of-way, reservation, or servitude or subdivision
plat is no longer needed by any of the parties having an interest in same.
G. Decision-maker. The Parish Council shall review the application in the same
manner as a Plat at a public hearing and approve, approve with conditions, or
deny the application.
Sec 33-2.35. Subdivision waivers.
A. Purpose. Subdivision waivers provide a mechanism for relief for property
owners when strict application of this UDC would result in practical difficulties
or a particular hardship to a property owner due to unique conditions of a
property proposed to be subdivided. Waivers may be granted for lot dimensions
and setbacks at the time of preliminary plat approval. The waiver granted shall
be the minimum necessary to permit reasonable use of the land.
B. Applicability. Subdivision waivers to the provisions of this UDC may be
requested when an applicant can demonstrate that the unique parcel shape, size,
configuration or other conditions preclude compliance with this UDC.
C. Application and procedure. The application, with the required information
as listed in the Appendix of this UDC, shall be filed with the Planning Director.
Subdivision waiver requests shall be requested in writing along with a plat
application and processed concurrently with a Preliminary Plat application.
D. Required findings. A waiver is not a right. In conformance with State law, a
waiver may be granted only upon finding that:
1. The property cannot be developed reasonably under the provisions of this
UDC;
2. The requested waiver will not conflict with the purposes of this UDC or the
Comprehensive Plan;
3. The hardship does not generally apply to other properties in the Parish.
Reasons for hardship may relate to the particular property, because of size, shape,
topography, or other physical conditions, rather than personal circumstances;
4. If the applicant complies strictly with the provisions of this UDC, then the
applicant will be unable to make reasonable use of the affected property;
5. The hardship does not exist because of conditions created by the owner or
previous owners of the property;
6. Granting the requested waiver will not confer on the applicant any special
privilege that is denied by this UDC to other lands that are similarly situated
and configured;
7. The granting of the waiver will not be contrary to the public interest, will not
adversely affect property values, will not adversely affect other property in the
vicinity, and will be in harmony with the intent and purpose of this UDC; and
8. The waiver requested is the minimum modification to this UDC necessary to
alleviate the hardship.
E. Decision maker. Decisions on subdivision waivers to this UDC shall be
made by the Parish Council. When a waiver to this UDC constitutes a waiver
to multiple sections of this UDC, separate actions shall not be required to
modify the provisions of each section. However, each waiver shall be cited in
the ordinance approving the preliminary plat and shall be noted on the final plat.
Sec. 33-2.36. Appeals from staff interpretations (reserved).
DIVISION 4. DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS
The purpose of a development agreement is to ensure completion of public
improvements and facilities, to assign responsibility for construction and funding
of on and off-site improvements, to provide assurances to the applicant that the
development may proceed under the terms of the development agreement, and
to document all agreements between the Parish and the applicant relating to a
development.
Except as provided below, before a subdivision plat is recorded or the
department of inspection and code enforcement issues the final certificate of
compliance or completion on the building permit for a site plan approved by the
Planning Director or Council, all applicants shall be required to complete, to the
satisfaction of the Public Works Director, all street, sanitary, and other public
improvements required by this UDC. The required improvements shall be those
specified in the approved construction plans or site plans.
Sec. 33-2.42. Conditions.
If the applicant chooses not to complete all required on and off-site public
improvements prior to final plat approval or issuance of the final certificate
of compliance or completion, the applicant shall provide financial guarantees
in favor of the Parish to assure the construction of on- and off-site public
improvements identified in the final plat or site plan approval and documented in
the development agreement. This surety shall remain in effect for the duration
of the agreement or until the Parish has accepted all improvements. In the
event the applicant is unable to complete the required improvements, and such
improvements are deemed necessary for the preservation of the public health
and safety, the Parish may use the guarantee to complete the improvements as
required or pursue other remedies authorized by State law.
Sec. 33-2.43. Guarantee of completion of public improvements.
The Parish Council may defer the requirement for the completion of required
improvements if the applicant enters into a development agreement by which
the applicant guarantees completion of all required public improvements no
later than two (2) years following the date upon which the council approves
the final plat or the department of Inspection and Code Enforcement issues the
final certificate of compliance or completion on the building permit for a site
plan approved by the Planning Director or Council. The Parish Council may
authorize an agreement providing for multi-phase development over a longer
period of time, provided that the agreement includes a phasing schedule and
that provisions are made for guaranteeing completion of improvements required
to serve each phase as it is subdivided or, in the case of a site plan, developed.
The Council may require the applicant to complete and/or dedicate some
required public improvements, rights-of-way, or servitudes for subsequent
development phases prior to approval of the final plat or issuance of the final
certificate of compliance or completion for a site plan for any phase of a multiphase development. For public improvements serving multiple developments
the Council may accept a pro rata contribution towards the funding of required
public improvements. The Parish Attorneys approval of the form and legality
of any development agreement is required prior to its execution. The Public
Works Director shall verify that improvement costs provided by the applicant
reasonably reflect the costs of required improvements prior to execution of the
development agreement.
Sec. 33-2.44. Covenants to run with the land.
The development agreement shall provide that the covenants contained therein
shall run with the land and bind all successors, heirs, and assignees of the
applicant. The development agreement shall be recorded with the Jefferson
Parish Clerk of Court in conjunction with the applicable final plat or site plan.
Applicants shall be required to have all existing lien holders subordinate their
liens to the covenants contained in the development agreement.
Sec. 33-2.45. Performance security.
A. Security required. Whenever the Parish Council permits an applicant to
enter into a development agreement under this section, the applicant shall be
required to provide sufficient security to ensure completion of the required
public improvements. The security shall be in the form of performance bond, a
trust agreement, a letter of credit, cash escrow, or a surety bond acceptable to the
Parish and naming the Parish as the beneficiary and guaranteeing construction
of subject improvements.
B. Amount of security. The performance bond, trust agreement, letter of credit,
cash escrow, or surety bond shall be in an amount estimated by the Public
Works Director as reflecting one-hundred ten percent (110%) of the cost of
the improvements in the approved construction plan or site plan as calculated
using prevailing wage rates, and shall be sufficient to cover all promises and
LEGALS
LEGALS
LEGALS
conditions contained in the development agreement.

C. Performance bond. In addition to all other security, when the Parish
participates in the cost of an improvement, the applicant shall provide a
performance bond from the contractor, with the Parish as a co-obligee.
D. Any performance or surety bond written for a project under this Section shall
be written by a surety or insurance company currently on the U.S. Department
of Treasury Financial Management Service list of approved bonding companies
which is published annually in the Federal Register, or by a Louisiana domiciled
insurance company with at least an A rating in the latest printing of the
A.M. Bests Key Rating Guide to write individual bonds up to ten percent of
policyholders surplus as shown in the A.M. Bests Key Rating Guide.
E. No Surety Company will be accepted as bondsman that does not have a
permanent agent or representative in the State of Louisiana upon whom notices
may be served. Service of notice on said agent or representative in the State
of Louisiana shall be equal to service of notice on the president of the surety
company or such other officer as may be concerned.
F. Should the applicants surety, even though approved and accepted by Jefferson
Parish, subsequently remove its agency or representative from the State of
Louisiana or terminate its residency or license in this state or become insolvent,
bankrupt, or otherwise fail, the applicant shall furnish a new bond by another
company approved by Jefferson Parish at no cost to Jefferson Parish. The new
bond shall be executed under the same terms and conditions as the original bond.
Sec. 33-2.46. Escrow agent.
If security is provided in the form of a cash escrow, the applicant shall deposit
with the Parish Clerk of Council a cash amount or certified check endorsed to
the escrow agent for a face value in an amount not less than the amount specified
by the Public Works Director.
Sec. 33-2.47. Accrual.
The performance bond, trust agreement, letter of credit, surety bond or cash
escrow account shall accrue to the Parish for administering the construction,
operation, and maintenance of the improvements.
Sec. 33-2.48. Reimbursement.
Where oversized facilities are required, the development agreement shall
establish the amounts and terms of any reimbursements to be granted to the
applicant.
Sec. 33-2.49. Temporary improvements.
The applicant shall construct and pay for all costs of temporary improvements
required by the Parish and shall maintain said temporary improvements for the
period specified.
Sec. 33-2.50. Governmental units.
Governmental units to which these improvement and security provisions apply
may file, in lieu of the Agreement and security, a contract by the officers or
officials authorized to act on their behalf, agreeing to comply fully with all
applicable provisions of these regulations.
Sec. 33-2.51. Decision-maker.
The Parish Council shall approve, approve with conditions or deny the
development agreement through the resolution approving a final plat or
the ordinance approving a preliminary plat or granting a rezoning. For a
development agreement associated with a site plan approved by the planning
director or council, the council shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny
the development agreement through an ordinance.
Sec. 33-2-54. Reserved.
DIVISION 5. BUILDING, USE, AND OCCUPANCY
The ministerial development approvals described in this Division typically
occur late in the development approval process and authorize construction
of a structure, improvement of land, or establishment of land use. No land
shall be disturbed and no building or structure shall be erected, added to, or
structurally altered until a development approval has been issued by the Director
of Inspection and Code Enforcement. All development approvals shall comply
with the requirements of this Code. No development approval, building permit,
certificate of completeness or occupancy shall be issued for any building,
structure, or activity where said construction, addition, alteration, or use
violates any provision of this Code.
Sec. 33-2.56. Building permit.
See Chapter 8 of this Code.

is hereby amended by creating six divisions and reformatting, renumbering,
clarifying existing regulations, and adding provisions and references to read
as follows:
DIVISION 1. INTRODUCTION
A. The intent of the Parish Council is to move all of its zoning regulations to
Chapter 33. During the transition, the zoning provisions of this Chapter and in
Chapter 40 of this Code supplement each other. To the extent that this chapter
lacks provisions and standards common to all districts and procedures for
applying, administering and enforcing its regulations, the provisions, standards,
and procedures of Chapter 40 shall apply; to the extent that the provisions of this
chapter conflict with the provisions of Chapter 40, the provisions of this chapter
shall prevail. All references to the UDC refer to Chapter 33 of this Code.
B. Pursuant to State law, the Parish Charter, and the Comprehensive Plan in
Article VI, Chapter 25 Planning and Development of this Code, the regulations
of this Article have the purposes of Sec. 33-1.4 of this UDC and further are

structures of Article III General Provisions in Chapter 40 Zoning of this Code,
no land shall be used or occupied and no building or structure shall be designed,
erected, moved, altered, enlarged, occupied, or used or intended to be used
except in conformity with all regulations, compliance with all standards, and
upon performance of all conditions associated with any special or conditional
use permit, variance, appeal, rezoning, planned development, or site plan
approval.
Sec. 33-3.3. Establishment of zoning districts.
In order to regulate, classify, and provide a framework for the location and use of
land, buildings, and structures; the height and size of buildings; the area of yards
and other open spaces; and the density and intensity of land development, this
Article establishes base zoning districts, overlay zoning districts, and floating
zones.

unique neighborhood, environmental, or design impacts and have not been
previously identified on the official zoning map, and that require individual,
legislative approval to establish appropriate standards.
A. GED Gaming and Entertainment District.
B. P-1 Penal and Criminal Correctional Institution District.
Sec. 33-3.3.4. Official zoning map.
The maps delineating the boundaries of the zoning districts, together with all
matters and information shown on these maps, collectively constitute the official
zoning map. The official zoning map, available from electronic records of the
Geographic Information System (GIS) of Jefferson Parish and kept current by the
Jefferson Parish Planning Department, is hereby adopted, approved, and made a
part of this Chapter, and all of this map including legends, notations, references,
and other information set forth thereon shall form a part of this Chapter as if all
the matter and information set forth on the map were fully described and copied
herein. The official zoning map contained in said electronic records is based
on the paper official zoning maps dated and adopted January 27, 1966, and as
amended thereafter.
Sec. 33-3.3.5. Interpretation of boundaries and classification.
When uncertainty exists as to the boundaries shown on the official zoning map,
the following rules shall apply:
A. Boundaries indicated as following or approximately parallel to the right-ofway lines or centerlines of streets, alleys, and other roadways; platted lot lines,
parish limits, and other boundary lines; the boundaries or centerlines of canals,
the river, lakes, other water courses, and other natural topographic features,
shall be construed to be such lines or boundaries or construed as parallel at a
distance indicated by dimension or scale of the official zoning map;
B. Boundaries indicated as following railroad lines shall be construed to be
midway between the main tracks;
C. In unsubdivided property or tracts, where a district boundary divides a lot,
the location of such boundaries shall be determined by use of the dimensions or
scale of the official zoning map;
D. Whenever any street, alley, or public way not subject to zoning regulations
is vacated by official action of Jefferson Parish or the State of Louisiana, the
zoning district line adjoining each side of such street, alley, or other public way
shall be automatically extended to the center of such vacation, and all areas so
involved shall then be subject to all regulations of the extended districts; and
E. Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground vary from those
shown on the official zoning map, or in case any further uncertainty exists, the
Planning Director shall determine the location of boundaries.
Sec. 33-3.4. Master Use matrix.
Sec. 33-3.4.1. Interpretation.
Table 33-3.4.3-1. Master Use Matrix lists the principal uses allowed by right
within zoning districts as well as uses that may be authorized subject to
supplemental conditions or approval of a conditional use permit. Function
and structure codes of the Land Based Classification Standards (LBCS) of
the American Planning Association (APA) correspond to the authorized uses
and shall be used to define uses. (Table 33-3.4.1-1) The function code refers to
the economic function or type of establishment. The structure code refers to
the type of structure or building. In the land use matrices, the structure code
is sometimes provided to augment the function with a structural or building
characteristic. All uses are subject to the standards and regulations within this
Code.

A. LBCS hierarchy.
1. No entry. The LBCS function codes establish a four-digit hierarchy of uses
with digits to the right expressing greater specificity. Where no entry appears
in the zoning district columns of Table 33-3.4.3-1 (for example 1000, 1100 and
1110), the uses described more specifically in the rows below (1111 and 1112 in
the above example) indicate whether or not a specific use is authorized.
2. Entry. Where an entry appears in the zoning district columns of Table 333.4.3-1 for a general use (for example 2520) and also for a more specific use
(for example 2521) within the same classification, the more specific code and its
entry shall govern.
B. Entries for permitted uses.
1. A P indicates the listed use is allowed by right within the respective zoning
district.
2. An S indicates that the listed use is allowed subject to the supplemental use
regulations established in the zoning district standards, in Article 5 of this UDC,
or elsewhere in the Jefferson Parish Code of Ordinances.
C. Entry for conditional uses. A C indicates the listed use is allowed within
LEGALS
LEGALS
LEGALS
the respective zoning district only after review and approval of a conditional use
permit by the Parish Council in accordance with Sec. 33-2.24 Conditional Use
Permit of this UDC. For purposes of this UDC, a special permitted use is the
same as a conditional use. Note that supplementary conditions for some of these
uses are established in Article 5 of this UDC and within regulations for specific
zoning districts.
D. Entry for prohibited uses. An X indicates the listed use is not allowed
within the respective zoning district, unless otherwise expressly allowed within
this UDC.
Sec. 33-3.4.2. Uses not specifically listed.
In the case where a use is not listed in the Master Use Matrix (Table 33-3.4.31), and such use is not otherwise prohibited by law, the Planning Director and
the Inspection and Code Enforcement Director shall determine whether a
substantially similar use exists in the use matrix. If the Directors determine
that a substantially similar use exists, then the regulations governing that use
shall apply to the particular use not listed. If the Directors determine that a
substantially similar use does not exist, the Planning Director shall refer to the
following documents and rules of construction to address the matter:
A. LBCS Tables, American Planning Association, LBCS Project, 07-Oct-09 or
latest edition
B. North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), United States,
2007 or latest edition.
C. If the Planning Director determines that the LBCS Tables do not address
the use at the appropriate level of specificity, then she shall refer to the NAICS
for guidance. If a use is listed for a general classification while a more specific
classification within the same industry classification is also listed, the specific
classification shall govern.
D. In referring to the NAICS, the Planning Director shall consider the industry
description and illustrative examples of the most specific NAICS classification
that may apply to the use, and shall compare uses across similar levels of
specificity within the same NAICS classification and between NAICS and LBCS
classifications.
E. If all nine (9) LBCS codes within a classification are populated with uses to
the fourth or most specific digit, then the Planning Director shall determine the
most appropriate location among existing codes for a use not specifically listed,
based on the NAICS and LBCS descriptions and illustrative examples.
F. If LBCS has unpopulated codes within a classification and none of the listed
codes are appropriate for the unlisted use, then the Planning Director shall
assign a new LBCS code based on the national standardization of the NAICS and
LBCS descriptions and the Parishs needs for zoning and land use classification.
G. If the Planning Director determines that a new LBCS code is needed in the
use matrix (Table 33-3.4.3-1), then she shall call a text study of the use matrix in
accordance with section 33-2.23 to establish a specific listing for the use and the
appropriate district or districts where such use shall be allowed.
H. If, when seeking periodic ratification of interpretations through text
amendment to this Code, the Planning Directors or Inspection and Code
Enforcement Directors interpretation is reversed by action of the Council, then
decisions regarding a development application made in reliance on the Directors
interpretation shall be valid, except that nonconforming use regulations of this
Code shall apply.

in the zoning district columns of Table 33-3.4.3-1 (for example 1000, 1100 and
1110), the uses described more specifically in the rows below (1111 and 1112 in
the above example) indicate whether or not a specific use is authorized.
b. Entry. Where an entry appears in the zoning district columns of Table 333.4.3-1 for a general use (for example 2520) and also for a more specific use
(for example 2521) within the same classification, the more specific code and its
entry shall govern.
2. Entries for permitted uses.
a. A P indicates the listed use is allowed by-right within the respective zoning
district.
b. An S indicates that the listed use is allowed subject to the supplemental use
regulations established in the zoning district standards, in Article 5 of this UDC,
or elsewhere in the Jefferson Parish Code of Ordinances.
3. Entry for conditional uses. A C indicates the listed use is allowed within
the respective zoning district only after review and approval of a conditional
use permit by the Parish Council in accordance with Sec. 33-2.24 Conditional
Use Permit. For purposes of this UDC, a special permitted use is the same as a
conditional use. Note that supplementary conditions for some of these uses are
established in Article 5 of this UDC and within regulations for specific zoning
districts.
4. Entry for prohibited uses. An X indicates the listed use is not allowed within
the respective zoning district, unless otherwise expressly allowed within this

Figure 33-3.56.4-2: Windowed Opening
G. Parking mitigation.
1. Purpose. The Parish finds that adequate parking is important for the economic
success of Fat City. Many properties in Fat City will be unable to accommodate
required parking due to their smaller lot size. Dispersing parking off-site in a
way that serves multiple properties provides a more efficient, cost-effective,
and sustainable way to serve Fat Citys parking needs. The Parish finds that,
at the time of new development, redevelopment or change of use requiring site
plan approval, a proportionate capital contribution to construct additional public
parking is a fair and equitable method of apportioning the cost of such additional
parking among all property within the FC districts without unreasonably
burdening vacant lands or existing development that is not undergoing new
development, redevelopment or change of use. Accordingly, this sub-section
allows property owners to substitute payments toward off-site parking for onsite parking.
2. Mitigation authorized. Required parking spaces for non-residential uses may
be mitigated through pro-rata contributions to the Fat City Parking Mitigation
Fund. The amount of parking mitigated through this Section shall not exceed
the amounts in Table 33-3.56.4-2. Mitigation is not allowed for residential uses.
Table 33-3.56.4-2: Maximum Percentage of Parking Subject to Mitigation
3. Amount. Pro rata contributions shall be based on the capital costs of providing
parking spaces in parking structures. The per-stall fee shall be eighteen
thousand four hundred dollars ($18,400.00) in 2010 dollars and shall be adjusted
annually in November of each year based on the Engineering News Record
Construction Cost Index 20-City average ((ENR CCI) for November. The actual
fee-in-lieu amount shall be established at the time of payment and approved by
the Parish Attorney.

like purposes takes into consideration such prior imposition and payment and
provides the then current owner of the premises with an equitable credit for the
fee actually paid for such similar or like purposes.
7. All proposed parking mitigation contributions shall be approved by the Parish
Attorney and shall be placed in the Parking Mitigation Fund which shall be used
exclusively to establish parking to serve non-residential uses in the Fat City
overlay zoning districts.

the purposes specified.
9. The payments shall be expended in all cases within five (5) years of collection.
Any payment not expended shall be refunded to the property owner of record at
the time of the refund.
H. Nonconforming parking. Where a change in use of an existing structure
to a non-residential use is being requested and that new use increases parking
requirements, the applicant may request the director of inspection and code

are met:
1. The variance is consistent with the general provisions and intent of the zoning
district.
2. The variance is harmonious and compatible with adjacent land uses.
3. Special conditions and circumstances exist that are peculiar to land, structures
or buildings which are not applicable to other land, structures or buildings in the
same district and which a site related hardship can be demonstrated.
4. The need for the variance was not created by the applicant;
5. The variance is the minimum amount needed to relieve a hardship that is
unique to the property; and
6. The variance does not grant relief to height, building setbacks, parking
requirements, or sign requirements in any of the FC zoning districts, except as
provided for parking related to the location of monument signs in the FC-1, FC-2
and FC-3 districts.
B. Variances may be granted by the Board of Zoning Adjustments for the
following design factors in the FC-1, FC-2 and FC-3 zoning districts:
1. One (1) parking space for a monument sign; however, the variance shall be
applicable only to the approved site plan for which the variance was originally
granted and subsequent amendments thereto; a new site plan request shall
require a new variance request.

Sec. 33-3.56.9. Development agreements.
In the FC zoning districts, development agreements may be used to phase or
mitigate parking, streetscape improvements, or other public improvements; to
phase large-scale development projects; or to coordinate joint public/private
development projects. However, development agreements in FC zoning districts
shall not be used to provide relief from compliance with FC zoning district use
or design standards.
Sec. 33-3.56.10. Amortization of signs.
The following regulations and amortization provisions shall apply to each of the
Fat City Mixed Use Districts (FC-1, FC-2 and FC-3):
A. Findings and purpose:
1. The Parish Council finds that nonconforming signs that do not conform with
the provisions of the FC-1, FC-2 and FC-3 district, as applicable, threaten the
public health, safety and welfare because they:
1. Create traffic safety hazards;
2. Create pedestrian safety hazards;
3. Decrease property values;
4. Increase the potential for blight; and/or
5. Discourage reinvestment in residential and nonresidential property that is
essential to for the implementation of the Strategic Implementation Plan.
2. The purposes of this Chapter are to:
1. Recognize that the eventual elimination of existing signs that are not in
conformity with the provisions of this Section is as important as is the prohibition
of new signs that would violate these regulations.
2. Establish a fair and equitable process for the elimination of nonconforming
signs that will facilitate implementation of the Strategic Implementation Plan.
B. Immediate removal of certain signs. The following nonconforming signs
shall be removed immediately:
1. Any sign not established as a legal nonconforming sign prior to the adoption
of these regulations;
2. Any sign erected or maintained upon any parish highway, right-of-way,
servitude, street, public building or Parish property without a resolution from
the Parish Council authorizing such sign or for which the resolution is not posted
in a visible location on the premises;
3. Any sign now or hereafter existing which no longer advertises a bona fide
business conducted, or a product sold, on the premises where such sign is located.
C. Limits on nonconforming signs.
1. Change of business or use. Any single-use nonconforming sign advertising,
identifying, or pertaining to a business on the premises on which it is located
shall be removed upon any change in the business name or change in the use
advertised by the sign. A multi-tenant nonconforming sign that advertises,
identifies, or pertains to more than one business or use located on the premises,
LEGALS
LEGALS
LEGALS
may remain until December 31, 2015 if the change is the replacement of a sign
face for a change in the business name or use, is not the replacement, alteration,

height, width, depth or area.
2. A nonconforming sign may not be:
a. Changed to another nonconforming sign;
b. Structurally altered to extend its useful life;
c. Expanded in height, width, depth or weight;

modified to conform with the provisions of this Article.
4. Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted to exclude routine maintenance,
repair, or renovation which does not extend, increase, or enlarge the
nonconforming sign.
5. No building permit shall be issued for any structures, building expansions or
new building construction on a site which contains nonconforming signs, unless
all signs on the site are brought into conformance with this title. This does not
include interior alterations which do not substantially change the character or
intensity of the site.
D. Amortization. Legally nonconforming signs erected prior to the effective
date of this ordinance may continue to be maintained until December 31, 2015.
Thereafter, unless such signs conform to the provisions of this Article, they shall
be removed.
1. Signs that are nonconforming due to exceeding the permitted height, width or
area by ten (10) percent or less shall not be subject to removal under this Section.
2. Signs approved after September 22, 2010, when Ordinance No. 23881 was
approved by Parish Council, prior to any subsequent amendment shall not be
subject to removal under this Section.
E. A determination of sign conformance shall be provided by the Department of
Inspection and Code Enforcement.
F. Removal. Nonconforming signs that require removal under the regulations
in this Section shall be taken down, or removed by the owner, agent or person
having the beneficial use of the building or structure upon which such sign may

and major arterials, where so located as to affect the subdivision of adjoining
lands, shall be treated as follows:
1 In residential zoning districts, buffers shall be provided adjacent to the railroad
right-of-way, interstate or major arterial. Buffers shall measure at least fifty (50)
feet in width and shall include at least one tree every thirty-five (35) feet and a
combination of fencing, walls, berms and/or landscaping necessary to establish
a six (6) feet tall opaque buffer within two (2) years of plat approval. This strip
shall be part of the platted lots and shall be designated on the plat.
2. In districts zoned for business, commercial or industrial uses, wherever
practicable, the nearest street extending parallel or approximately parallel to the
railroad right-of-way shall be at a sufficient distance from the railroad right-ofway to ensure suitable depth for commercial or industrial sites.
3. When streets parallel to the railroad right-of-way intersect a street that crosses
the railroad right-of-way at grade, they shall, to the extent practicable, be at a
distance of at least one-hundred fifty (150) feet from the railroad right-of-way.
Such distance shall be determined with due consideration of the minimum
distance required for future separation of grades by means of appropriate
approach gradients.
D. Driveway permits. A driveway permit, issued by the Inspection and Code
Enforcement Director shall be required for all single family residences and any
multiple family development encompassing five (5) or more dwelling units.
Driveway permits for all other uses shall be obtained from the Public Works
Director prior to the construction of any new access point. When a traffic study
is required, no driveway permit will be issued until the traffic study process has
been completed. For the purposes of evaluating driveway permit requests, the
boundary of the site is considered to be all contiguous parcels under the same
ownership on the date of adoption of this provision. Any non-residential change
in use resulting in the following will require a new driveway permit:
1. An increase of greater than fifty (50) peak hour trips, or
2. A ten (10) percent increase in average daily trips of an existing non-residential
or multi-family development, or
3. Over ten (10) additional daily vehicle trips made by vehicles exceeding thirtythousand (30,000) pounds gross vehicle weight.
E. Driveway design standards:
1. Dimensions. Unless required for emergency access, the minimum driveway
width shall be twelve (12) feet for residential and fifteen (15) feet for nonresidential land uses, and the maximum driveway width shall be twenty-five
(25) feet for residential and thirty-five (35) feet for non-residential land uses. The
minimum thickness shall comply with adopted improvement standards.
2. Approach. The driveways adjacent to paved roads shall provide a concrete
driveway approach from the property line to the roadbed edge.
F. Substandard access. Where access standards or design objectives of this
UDC cannot be met, the Public Works Director shall be guided by the following
process in determining whether substandard access may be permitted.
1. The Public Works Director shall first determine whether alternate access to
another street exists that meets the standards of the Code.
2. Where alternate access opportunities are determined not to exist, the Public
Works Director may grant a reduction in spacing standards of up to twenty (20)
percent.
3. If after considering alternatives subject to subsections a. and b. above,
the Public Works Director determines that no feasible alternatives exist, a
substandard access permit may be granted as a subdivision waiver subject to the
following findings:
a. Conditions or circumstances exist which limit the strict application of the
requirements of this UDC, including the lack of a secondary access to another
public street, the inability to use joint access, and the lack of engineering or
construction solutions that can be applied to mitigate the condition;
b. The proposed access will not result in undue delay or congestion or be
detrimental to the safety of motoring public using the roadway; and
c. The limiting access will create an exceptional and undue hardship on the
applicant and that the permit issued will allow a reasonable use of the property.
Sec. 33-7.5.8. Oversizing streets.
A. Responsibility. Where a designated street, according to the Jefferson Parish
Thoroughfare Plan, runs through the proposed subdivision, the applicant
shall be responsible for the costs of construction of such street to a collector
street standard unless the development generates sufficient traffic to justify
construction of an arterial street.
B. Reimbursement and costs. If the designated street exceeds the collector
standard, the applicant shall be required to construct the designated street
subject to reimbursement by the Parish for the construction cost of the difference
between the collector street and arterial street. Should reimbursement funds
by the Parish not be available, the applicants responsibility for construction
shall be limited to a collector standard; however, the development and street
design shall be modified to facilitate future expansion of such street. The plat
shall identify anticipated future right-of-way required for compliance with the
Jefferson Parish Thoroughfare Plan and no buildings may encroach into future
right-of-way. The maximum allowable density or intensity of development
on the site shall be calculated based on the area of the property prior to the
dedication of the additional right-of-way.
Sec. 33-7.5.9. Other improvements.
A. Sidewalks and pedestrian paths standards:
1. Required. Sidewalks or pedestrian paths shall be required along all parish
streets.
2. Design. Walkways shall be designed to comply with the Americans with
Disabilities Act, provided that the Council may approve a different standard for
walkways across private property.
3. Location. All required walkways shall be located within a dedicated right-ofway or access servitude. A median strip of grass or landscaped area at least three
(3) feet wide shall separate all sidewalks from adjacent curbs unless approved by
the Public Works Director.
4. Servitudes. Sidewalk and path servitudes shall be a minimum of ten (10)
feet in width if adjacent to a public street or land. The minimum width of the
sidewalk/path servitude between the rear or side lot lines of a parcel shall be
fifteen (15) feet, unless approved otherwise by the Parish Council.
B. Street signs. All streets, including private streets, shall be identified with
street signs properly named. The applicant shall deposit with the local
government at the time of final subdivision approval the set fee for each street
sign required by the Public Works Director. The Parish shall install all street
signs before issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any residence on the
streets approved. Street name signs shall be placed at all intersections within or
abutting the subdivision, the type and location of which shall be approved by the
Public Works Director.
C. Street lighting. Installation of street lights shall be required in accordance
with design and specification standards approved by the Public Works Director.
D. Utilities:
1. Location. All utility facilities including, but not limited to, gas, electric
power, telephone and CATV cables shall be located underground throughout
the subdivision. All utility facilities existing and proposed throughout the
subdivision shall be shown on the preliminary plat.
2. Servitudes. Servitude widths shall be established between the subdivider
and the applicable utility companies for the establishment of utility servitudes
established in adjoining properties.
Sec. 33-7.5.10. Traffic impact analysis.
The intent of this Section is to provide the information necessary to allow
decision-makers to assess the transportation implications of traffic associated
with a proposed development, to address the transportation-related issues
associated with development proposals that may be of concern to neighboring
residents, business owners and property owners, and to provide a basis for
negotiation regarding improvements and funding participation in conjunction
with an application for development. This Section establishes requirements
for the TIA and evaluation of transportation impacts associated with proposed
developments.
A. Purpose. A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) will be required for certain
permitted and Special Permitted Uses, Major Subdivisions and Site Plans
exceeding specific trip generation thresholds. The purpose of a Traffic Impact
Analysis will be to:
1. Evaluate traffic operations and impacts at site access points under projected
peak period traffic loads;
2. Evaluate the impact of site-generated traffic on affected intersections in the
vicinity of the development site;
3. Evaluate the impact of site-generated traffic on the quality of traffic flow
within a reasonable distance of the site of development;
4. Evaluate the impact of the proposed development on neighborhood collector
or local streets in the vicinity of the site;
5. Ensure that site access and other improvements needed to mitigate the
traffic impact of the development meet commonly accepted engineering design
standards;
6. Ensure that adequate facilities for pedestrians, transit users and bicyclists
have been provided;
7. Identify transportation infrastructure needs and related costs created by the
development and cost sharing on needed improvements.
B. Applicability. Traffic Impact Analysis shall be required for any amendments
to the official zoning map or future land use map, subdivision review, special
permitted use, or site plan under the following described conditions; or as
LEGALS
LEGALS
LEGALS
otherwise required in the Jefferson Parish Code of Ordinances:

1. The proposed use will generate seven-hundred fifty (750) or more average
daily trips, according to most current versions of the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Informational Report or comparable
research data published by a public agency or institution; or
2. The proposed development will concentrate one-thousand five-hundred
(1,500) or more trips per day through a single access point; or
3. The proposed development will include thirty (30) or more dwelling units
taking sole access from an existing or planned neighborhood collector or local
street; or
4. The proposed development will include a drive-through facility or structural
parking lot entrance that will result in traffic spillover onto a public street, when
eight (8) or more vehicles are queued at the facility; or
5. Any residential project accessing an arterial street; or
6. Any development that is subject to a state requirement for a traffic impact
study. [8-31-2011]
C. Waiver. The requirements of this section for a TIA may be waived by the
Planning Director, Public Works Director and Parish Traffic Engineer when
it is determined that such report is not necessary to determine needed road
improvements or that no unsafe or hazardous conditions will be created by the
development as proposed.
D. Preparation. The TIA shall be prepared by a Licensed Professional Engineer
or AICP certified planner with qualifications and no less than five (5) years
experience in the preparation of traffic analyses.
E. Traffic service standards. The standards for traffic service that shall be used
to evaluate the findings of traffic impact studies are:
1. Level of service. For collector or local streets, a level of service (LOS) C
or better shall be maintained. On any arterial or higher order street a LOS D
or better shall be maintained. Where the existing LOS is below these standards,
the TIA shall identify those improvements required to ensure that development
related traffic demands result in no net reduction in LOS, and identify additional
improvements needed to raise the level of service to the standards on the arterial
or higher order street to the adopted LOS standard.
2. Number of access points. The spacing of access points shall comply with
applicable Parish, State and American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials (AASHTO) standards.
3. Neighborhood collector or local street impact. Average Daily Traffic (ADT)
on neighborhood collector or local streets shall be within the ranges spelled out
in the Thoroughfare Plan for the class of street involved. No non-residential
development shall increase the traffic on a neighborhood collector or local street
with at least three-hundred (300) average daily trips by more than twenty-five
(25) percent.
4. Internal circulation. On-site vehicle circulation and parking patterns shall be
designed so as not to interfere with the flow of traffic on any public street and
shall accommodate all anticipated types of site traffic.
5. Safety. Access points shall be designed to provide for adequate sight distance
and appropriate facilities to accommodate acceleration and deceleration of site
traffic.
6. Curb space use plan. Details shall be provided on curb space use on public
streets along the edge of the development site when it is intended that such areas
be used for parking, parking space access, delivery and loading zones, passenger
zones, taxi cab stands, bus stops, fire zones and/or other official/emergency
zones. This review shall include a description of existing conditions prior to
development, and proposed changes resulting from the development, including
a description of any loss or gain in curb space use by the activities intended.
F. Contents. A TIA shall contain information addressing the factors listed below.
1. Site description. The TIA shall contain illustrations and narrative that
describe the characteristics of the site and adjacent land uses as well as expected
development in the vicinity which will influence future traffic conditions. A
description of the proposed development including access plans, staging plans
and an indication of land use and intensity, shall be provided.
2. Study area. The TIA shall identify the geographic area under study and identify
the roadway segments, critical intersections and access points to be analyzed.
The study shall include all intersections and access points to the development
and with all arterial and collector streets and/or all arterial and collector street
intersections located on the approaches within one-half (1/2) mile of the site. If
no arterial street intersection is so located, the study area may be extended to the
nearest arterial street intersection if the proposed development is projected to
contribute at least five (5) percent of the traffic at that intersection at the time of
development, unless determined otherwise by the Planning Director and Parish
Traffic Engineer.
3. Existing traffic conditions. The TIA shall contain a summary of the data used
in the analysis of existing traffic conditions, including:
a. Traffic count and turning movement information, including the source of and
date when traffic count information was collected;
b. Correction factors that were used to convert collected traffic data into
representative design hour traffic volumes;
c. Roadway characteristics, including the design configuration of existing or
proposed roadways, existing traffic control measures (speed limits, traffic
signals, etc.) and existing driveways and turning movement conflicts in the
vicinity of the site; and
d. The existing LOS for roadways and intersections without project development
traffic using methods documented in the Special Report 209: Highway Capacity
Manual or latest edition, published by the Transportation Research Board, or
comparable accepted methods of evaluation. LOS shall be calculated for the
weekday peak hour and, in the case of uses generating high levels of weekend
traffic, the Saturday or Sunday peak hour as determined by the Parish Traffic
Engineer or Planning Director.
4. Horizon year(s) and background traffic growth. The report shall identify the
horizon year(s) that were analyzed in the study, the background traffic growth
factors for each horizon year, and the method and assumptions used to develop
the background traffic growth. Unless otherwise approved by the Parish Traffic
Engineer or Planning Director, the impact of development shall be analyzed for
the year after the development is expected to be at full occupancy.
5. Traffic assignment. The report shall identify projected design hour traffic
volumes for roadway segments, intersections or driveways in the study area,
with and without the proposed development, for the horizon year(s) of the study,
including:
a. Traffic count and turning movement information;
b. Correction factors that were used to convert collected traffic data into
representative design hour traffic volumes;
c. Roadway characteristics, including the design configuration of existing or
proposed roadways, existing and proposed traffic control measures (speed
limits, traffic signals, etc.) and existing and proposed driveways and turning
movement conflicts in the vicinity of the site; and
d. The existing and proposed LOS for roadways and intersections without project
development traffic using methods documented in the Special Report 209:
Highway Capacity Manual or latest edition, published by the Transportation
Research Board, or comparable accepted methods of evaluation. LOS shall be
calculated for the weekday peak hour and, in the case of uses generating high
levels of weekend traffic, the Saturday or Sunday peak hour as determined by the
Parish Traffic Engineer or Planning Director.
6. Mitigation/alternatives. In situations where the traffic level of service standards
are exceeded, the report shall evaluate each of the following alternatives for
achieving the traffic service standards:
a. Identify where additional right-of-way is needed to implement mitigation
strategies;
b. Identify suggested phasing of street or intersection improvements where
needed to maintain compliance with traffic service standards; and
c. Identify the anticipated cost of recommended improvements.
G. Process for the review and preparation of a TIA. The following steps provide
an outline of the steps to be included in the preparation and review of a TIA:
1. The Public Works Director, Parish Traffic Engineer and Planning Director
shall be consulted for assistance in determining whether a traffic impact study
needs to be prepared for a proposed development application;
2. The Public Works Director, Parish Traffic Engineer and Planning Director
shall meet with applicants to identify study issues, assumptions, horizon years
and time periods to be analyzed, analysis procedures, available sources of data,
past and related studies, report requirements and other topics relevant to study
requirements. The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development
(LDOTD) District 02 Traffic Engineer or designated representative shall be
contacted and coordinates with as appropriate when the TIA includes State or
Federal highways as points of access for a development;
3. Following initial completion of a Traffic Impact Analysis, the TIA shall be
submitted to the Planning Director for distribution to the staff of all jurisdictions
involved in the construction and maintenance of public roadways serving the
development;
4. Within ten (10) working days, staff shall complete an initial review to
determine the completeness of the TIA and shall provide a written summary
to the applicant outlining the need for any supplemental study or analysis to
adequately address any deficiencies. A meeting to discuss the contents and
findings of the TIA and the need for additional study may be requested by the
applicant;
5. Following a determination that the technical analysis is complete, staff
shall prepare a report outlining recommendations that have been developed
to address the findings and conclusions included in the study regarding the
LEGALS
LEGALS
LEGALS
proposed developments access needs and impacts on the transportation system.

Depending on the type of application, the recommendations may be presented to
the PAB and/or Parish Council.
6. In the case of a Traffic Impact Analysis showing deficiencies requiring
mitigation within the public right-of-way, negotiations based on the conclusions
and findings resulting from the traffic study shall be held with the Public Works
Director, Parish Traffic Engineer, Planning Director and Parish Attorney.
A development agreement, detailing the applicants responsibilities and the
Parishs responsibilities for implementing identified mitigation measures, shall
be prepared following the negotiations for final action by Parish Council and
the applicant.
H. Report findings. If staff finds that the proposed development will not meet
applicable service level standards, staff shall recommend one or more of the
following actions by the public or the applicant:
1. Reduce the size, scale, scope or density of the development to reduce traffic
generation;
2. Divide the project into phases and authorize only one (1) phase at a time until
traffic capacity is adequate for the next phase of development;
3. Dedicate right-of-way for street improvements;
4. Construct new streets and intersection improvements;
5. Expand the capacity of existing streets;
6. Redesign ingress and egress to the project to reduce traffic conflicts;
7. Alter the use and type of development to reduce peak hour traffic;
8. Reduce background (existing) traffic;
9. Eliminate the potential for additional traffic generation from undeveloped
properties in the vicinity of the proposed development;
10. Integrate non-vehicular design components (e.g., pedestrian and bicycle
paths or transit improvements) to reduce trip generation;
11. Recommend approval of the development contingent upon making
improvements or addressing items required to mitigate traffic and access issues
and impacts;
12. Recommend denial of the application for development for which the traffic
study is submitted.

Sec. 33-7.6. Adequate public facilities waivers.
Adequate public facilities waivers provide a mechanism for relief for property
owners when strict application of this UDC would result in practical difficulties.
Waivers may be granted for adequate public facilities requirements at the time of
preliminary plat approval. The waiver granted shall be the minimum necessary
to permit reasonable subdivision of land.
Adequate public facilities waivers to the provisions of this UDC may be requested
when an applicant can demonstrate that one of the following situations apply:
A. Connection to the parishs sanitary sewer system will require unreasonable
expenditure when compared with other methods of sewage disposal, subject to
the following conditions:
1. The lot, parcel or tract of land is located on the unprotected side of the West
Bank and Vicinity Hurricane Protection Levee;
2. The Public Works director finds that the cost of connecting to the parishs
sanitary sewer system would be unreasonable given the inadequacy or
inexistence of connecting facilities; and
3. The State of Louisiana approves the alternative sewage disposal system at the
building permit stage; or
B. Provision of adequate public facilities will require unreasonable expenditure,
subject to the following conditions:
1. The subdivision is for the purpose of inheritance, sale or similar act without
intention of development within five (5) years;
2. Each lot, parcel or tract of land included in the application is undeveloped, is
at least ten (10) acres, and has frontage on a publicly dedicated and constructed
street;
3. If the resubdivision results in any lot, parcel, or tract of land that is less than
ten (10) acres, the lot, parcel or tract of land shall meet the adequate public
facilities requirements or the applicant shall make provision for adequate public
facilities through a development agreement in accordance with the requirements
of this UDC;
4. The number of lots, parcels, or tracts of land created in one (1) application
does not exceed ten (10); and
5. The subdivision does not involve the creation of any new street, right-ofway in full ownership, or other public improvement but as determined by the
public works director may provide for the dedication, acceptance, relocation,
or deletion of public utility servitudes granted to Jefferson Parish, other than
streets.
Sec. 33-7.6.3. Application and procedure.
The application, with the required information as listed in the appendix of this
UDC, shall be filed with the Planning Director. Requests for adequate public
facilities waivers shall be made in writing along with the reasons for the waiver
expressly made with a plat application, and processed concurrently with a
preliminary plat application.
Sec. 33-7.6.4. Required findings.
A waiver is not a right. In conformance with state law, a waiver may be granted
only upon finding that:
A. The requested waiver will not conflict with the purposes of this UDC or the
Comprehensive Plan;
B. Granting the requested waiver will not confer on the applicant any special
privilege that is denied by this UDC to other lands that are similarly situated
and configured;
C. The granting of the waiver will not be contrary to the public interest, will not
adversely affect property values, will not adversely affect other property in the
vicinity, and will be in harmony with the intent and purpose of this UDC; and
D. The waiver requested is the minimum modification to this UDC necessary to
accommodate the situation.
Sec. 33-7.6.5. Decision-maker.
Decisions on adequate public facilities waivers to this UDC shall be made by
the Parish Council. When a waiver to this UDC constitutes a waiver to multiple
sections of this UDC, separate actions shall not be required to modify the
provisions of each section. However, each waiver shall be cited in the ordinance
approving the preliminary plat and shall be noted on the final plat.

Sec. 17-100.13. - Procedure for and effect of suspension, revocation.
Upon violation of any offense enumerated in this Division, a hearing may be

(1) Committee. There is hereby created a committee to be known as the tobacco

council chairman or his/her designee, the district council person or his/her
designee, one (1) of the directors of the office of research and budget analysis
or their designee, the director of the community justice agency and the director
of the department of inspection and code enforcement. The committee shall

regarding the suspension or revocation of tobacco products permits or the denial
of a renewal application.
(2) Initiating procedure; hearing required. Within one hundred twenty (120)
days of notice of a violation enumerated in this chapter, a hearing may be held
before the tobacco products permit review committee or the parish council at
the request of the parish president, the sheriff, or upon motion of any member
of the parish council upon written complaint, petition or notice of violation.
Such hearing shall be noticed by the committee, parish attorney, any member
of the parish council or the sheriff; a hearing shall be held in accordance with
the provisions of this article to determine whether the permit of the person
charged shall be suspended or revoked or whether a renewal application shall be
denied. The complaint, petition, notice or motion shall set forth and enumerate
the causes for suspension or revocation of the permit or for denial of renewal
application.
(3) Notice. A notice or summons shall be served upon the holder of the permit
stating the time and place of the hearing, which shall not be less than forty-eight
(48) hours from the date and time such notice is given. If the holder of the permit
is not the owner of the property on which the business operates, a copy of the
notice or summons shall also be served upon the owner of said property. Notices
may be mailed by registered, certified or delivery confirmed mail to the holder
of the permit to the address of his place of business, as given in his application
for the permit, and, if applicable, to the owner of the property on which the
business operates to the address listed in the assessors office of the parish or
the address obtained from other reliable sources upon verifying ownership with
the mortgage and conveyance office; when so addressed and mailed, notices
or summonses shall be conclusively presumed to have been received by the
permit holder and, if applicable, by the owner of the property; in addition to the
above method of service, the notice or summons may be served on the permit
holder and, if applicable, on the owner of the property by personal or domiciliary
service by a deputy sheriff or an employee of the department of inspection and
code enforcement.
(4) Hearings. Hearings required by this article may be conducted by the tobacco
products permit review committee or by the parish council. The council or
the tobacco products permit review committee, designated to hold a hearing,
may administer oaths, issue subpoenas for the attendance of witnesses and
the production of books, papers, accounts and documents, and may examine
witnesses and receive testimony at the hearing. Subpoenas issued under the
authority of this section may be served by sending same by certified mail, United
States Postal Service postage-paid, to a valid address of the intended recipient.
Parties other than the council or committee requesting any subpoena under this
section shall prepare and serve same using forms approved by the committee.
No hearing shall be suspended or invalidated due solely to the non-appearance
of any witness subpoenaed to testify or produce documents at the hearing.
(5) Conduct of hearing. Whenever a hearing is conducted pursuant to this article,
opportunity shall be afforded all parties to respond and present evidence on all
issues of fact involved and argument on all issues of law and policy involved

evidence and briefs and compile same into the record, which record shall then
be certified by the chairman of said committee. The committee shall submit the
certified record to the parish council with the committees recommendation as
to whether the permit of the person charged shall be suspended or revoked or
whether a renewal application shall be denied.
(6) Council action. If the hearing is conducted by the committee, the council
shall not be required to conduct another hearing during its deliberation, unless
a majority of the council votes to do so; however, nothing herein shall prohibit a
permit holder from submitting written objections regarding any alleged errors in
the record prior to the council considering the permit revocation or suspension.
No permit shall be suspended or revoked, nor shall any renewal application be
denied, however, except by a majority vote of the parish council. No rehearing
shall be granted after judgment of the parish council had been had.
(7) Effect of revocation, suspension. When a tobacco products permit is revoked
or renewal is denied for any legal cause, by any lawful authority, no parish permit
shall be issued consistent with the existing use at the time of the revocation or
the denial of the renewal covering the premises for a minimum of one (1) year
and one (1) day after the date of the revocation, except under director declared
emergency by the director of inspection and code enforcement. When a permit
has been suspended by the parish council or their lawful authorities, no new
permit shall be issued for the same premises for a period of fourteen (14) days
beginning from the last day of the suspension.
(8) Signage required. During the entire period of any permit suspension or
revocation as provided for herein, the permittee or former permittee shall display
