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

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

Article XL. Special Permitted Uses of Chapter 40 Zoning of this Code.
Sec. 33-2.25. Site plan.
Sec. 33-2.25.1. Purpose.
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.

District, Zoning District

Parking Lot
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,

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.

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.

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

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.

DIVISION 3. MIXED-USE BASE ZONING DISTRICTS.
Sec. 33-3.50. Mixed-Use Base Zoning Districts Use Matrix.
A. In General. Table 33-3.50-1. Authorized Land Uses for Mixed-Use Base
Zoning Districts lists the principal uses, as described in Sec. 33-3.4.3. Master
Use Matrix, allowed by right within the mixed-use base zoning districts as well
as uses that may be authorized subject to supplemental conditions or approval of
a conditional use permit.
B. Interpretation.
1. LBCS hierarchy.
a. 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.
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
UDC.

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.
4. Payment. No certificate of completion shall be issued until complete payment
has been received by the Parish or the Parish Council has:
a. Approved an agreement providing for a phased payment plan. In no case shall
payments be deferred for more than two (2) years;
b. Approved an agreement providing for the deferred construction or occupancy
of floor space for which parking has not been mitigated; or
c. Approved other arrangements providing for required parking to serve the
proposed use within twelve (12) months of the application. In no case shall
arrangements include a parking variance.
5. Parking fund created. The Parish shall contribute the payments to a parking
fund specifically set aside to provide public parking serving the FC Districts.
All monies received as fees imposed by this Section shall be deposited and held,
together with interest thereon, in a public parking mitigation fund hereby created,
and shall be expended from that fund only for the purpose of creating new public
parking. The cost of creating public parking shall include all costs related to land
acquisition, design, permitting, drainage, mitigation, and construction of lighted
and paved public parking, including engineering, legal, consulting and internal
overhead costs.
6. Credits. The imposition or payment of any such payments does not bar the
subsequent imposition of any special assessment upon the new development,
redevelopment or change of use of any premises for which such fees have been
previously imposed or paid. However, any special assessment for similar or
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.
8. The moneys in the parking fund may be allowed to accumulate from year to
year until the Parish Council determines to expend the moneys in the fund for
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
enforcement to authorize the reduction in the required number of on-site parking
spaces subject to the applicants voluntary mitigation of the parking deficiency
in accordance with paragraph G of this Section.
Sec. 33-3.56.5. Clear vision areas.
Clear vision areas shall be provided in accordance with Section 40-665 of this
Code.
Sec. 33-3.56.6. Accessory or support structures and buildings standards.
The following standards shall apply to accessory or support structures and
buildings in each of the Fat City mixed use districts (FC-1, FC-2 and FC-3).
A. No accessory or support building or structure shall be located any closer to
the side street than the principal building.
B. Service bays and drives, trash receptacles and dumpster areas, and accessory

be required, depending on the size and intensity of the service area.
C. All dumpsters and dumpster areas shall comply with the requirements of
Chapter 16 of this Code. In situations where the regulations of that Chapter and
the regulations of this Article are in conflict, the more restrictive shall apply.
D. Any part of an accessory or support building visible from street right-of-way
that is not screened by fencing or landscaping that meets the district requirements
shall be constructed of the same materials as the principal building.
E. Any part of an accessory or support structure that is not a building, other
than playground equipment accessory to permitted uses in the FC districts, or
those structures used for drive-up service (e.g. gas pumps, vacuum stations
and ATMs) visible from street right-of-way shall be screened by a fence with
a minimum height of seven (7) feet and consisting of wood, brick or masonry.
Sec. 33-3.56.7. Mixed use development approval process.

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:

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,

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.

SECTION VII. That Chapter 33, Unified Development Code, Article 7, Adequate
Public Facilities Required, is hereby amended by reformatting and renumbering,
to read as follows:
Sec. 33-7.1. Generally.
This Article establishes standards for water, wastewater, stormwater
management, streets, and other utilities and facilities, whether provided by
Jefferson Parish or some other entity. These standards are supplemented by the
Jefferson Parish Subdivision Public Improvements Standards Manual and the
Fire Prevention Code for the Parish of Jefferson, which provide details necessary
for infrastructure design.
Sec. 33-7.1.1. Purpose.
A. The purpose of these regulations is to promote development that is served by
public facilities at the levels of service established by Jefferson Parish, which
are adequate to support and service the area of the proposed development. Land
shall not be approved for development unless and until adequate public facilities
exist or provision has been made for the following essential public facilities:
water service, wastewater treatment and disposal, stormwater management,
electrical service, and street facilities.
B. New development shall provide adequate facilities and services, including
required servitudes, to accommodate demands from proposed development in
conformance with the minimum standards established in this UDC and other
design and improvement standards adopted by the Parish.
C. Unconstructed improvements shall be guaranteed prior to the recording of
the final plat.
D. New development shall be phased at a pace that will ensure the provision of
adequate community facilities and services for proposed and future development.
E. Each development project shall be designed so that the project is capable of
functioning effectively and independently at completion of each phase.
F. Adequate on-site roadway facilities and access to the proposed development
shall be provided concurrently with the demands created by new development
and shall be designed and constructed in conformance with applicable State and
Parish standards.
G. All Essential Public Facilities shall be inspected, approved, and accepted by
the Parish prior to:
1. Recording of the plat if the applicant chooses to build rather than guarantee
improvements; or
2. Release of improvement guarantee if the applicant chooses to guarantee
improvements, or
3. Issuance of a Building Permit unless the Public Works Director finds that
improvements are substantially complete. In no case shall a Certificate of
Occupancy be granted prior to acceptance of Adequate Public Facilities.
Sec. 33-7.1.2. Consistency with Comprehensive Plan required.
Proposed public improvements shall conform to and be consistent with the
Jefferson Parish Comprehensive Plan and applicable capital improvements
plans.
Sec. 33-7.1.3. Water.
All habitable buildings and buildable lots shall be connected to a public or
private water system capable of providing water for health and emergency
purposes, including adequate fire protection.

All habitable buildings and buildable lots shall be served by an approved means
of wastewater collection and treatment.
Sec. 33-7.1.5. Stormwater management.
Drainage improvements shall accommodate potential runoff from the entire
upstream drainage area and shall be designed to prevent increases in rate and
velocity of existing runoff to avoid increases in downstream flooding. The
Parish shall require the use of control methods such as retention or detention,
and/or the construction of on-site and off-site drainage improvements to mitigate
the impacts of the proposed development.
Sec. 33-7.1.6. Streets.
Proposed streets shall provide a safe, convenient and functional system
for vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle circulation; shall be consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan as well as adopted transportation plans; and shall
be appropriate for the particular traffic characteristics of each proposed
development. Adequate street capacity and street design and construction shall
conform to all applicable Parish Codes. New development shall construct onsite transportation facilities needed to meet the demands attributable to the
development and provide safe access to the property. Such roadways shall be
provided concurrently with new development. The subdivider shall provide
the grading of the entire street right-of-way, alley or public place and pave the
streets. Dedication of rights-of-way and other access servitudes necessary for
needed transportation facilities for current and future phases shall be required
of new development.
Sec. 33-7.1.7. Parks and open space (reserved).
Sec. 33-7.1.8. Location of utilities.
All utilities provided as new installations within a subdivision shall be placed
in the right-of-way or in servitudes and shall be provided underground unless a
waiver has been granted by the Parish Council. This provision shall not apply to
development in an industrial zoning district.
Sec. 33-7.1.9. Extension and oversizing policies.
A. All public improvements and required servitudes shall be extended through
the parcel on which new development is proposed. Streets, water lines,
wastewater systems and drainage facilities shall be constructed through new
development to promote the logical extension of public infrastructure to serve
future growth.
B. The Parish may require the applicant of a subdivision to extend off-site
improvements to reach the subdivision or to oversize required public facilities
to serve anticipated future development as a condition of plat or plan approval.
C. The Parish shall have the option to establish a public improvement district
that will reimburse the developer for excess improvements costs, to use an
excess capacity sharing arrangement between the applicant and subsequent
developers of adjacent property benefiting from the oversized facilities or to
directly reimburse the developer for excess land and facility costs.
D. For the purposes of this section, excess improvements costs shall be the

P. Pedestrian walkways. Where blocks are over six-hundred (600) feet in length,
the Parish may require a pedestrian crosswalk located in a fifteen (15) feet wide
servitude near the center of the block.
Q. Alleys. Alleys with a twenty (20) feet wide right-of-way and eighteen (18)
feet of paved roadway may be required in commercial areas, in the rear lots of
multiple family districts unless other adequate provisions are made for service
and deliveries, and where justified by special conditions such as the continuation
of an existing alley in the same block. Alleys are not required in residential
districts. Dead-end alleys are prohibited.
R. Half streets. Half streets are prohibited, except where an existing platted half
street abuts the subdivision. Where a platted half street exists, the other half
street shall be required to be completed by the applicant.
S. Street names. Streets in alignment with existing streets shall bear the names
of the existing streets. Proposed street names that are in conflict with existing
street names shall not be approved.
T. Street dedication. No street shall be accepted by the Parish unless it meets the
design standards established by this UDC.
U. Reserve strips. Where streets approach a property line of a tract being
subdivided, the right-of-way shall extend to the edge of the property to allow for
connectivity between abutting properties. Reserve or spite strips are prohibited.
Sec. 33-7.5.3. Street construction standards.
Streets shall be designed and constructed to comply with the Jefferson Parish
Subdivision Public Improvements Standards Manual.
Sec. 33-7.5.4. Alleys.
Alleys may only be approved as part of a PUD or Planned Development and shall
be considered private drives that are subject to a Parish approved maintenance
program.
Sec. 33-7.5.5. Reserved.
Sec. 33-7.5.6. Traffic control.
Traffic control devices shall be provided for new development pursuant to
standards adopted by the Parish or State, as applicable.
Sec. 33-7.5.7. Access standards.
A. Purpose. The purpose of regulating the amount and nature of vehicular
access points is to balance the need for providing access to individual private
properties with the need to preserve an adequate level of capacity on the streets
providing access. Vehicular access restrictions may be required to be shown on
subdivision plats.
B. Access to arterials. Where a residential subdivision borders on or contains an
existing or proposed arterial, the Parish may require that access to such streets
be limited by one of the following means:
1. Lots shall back onto the arterial and front onto a parallel collector or local
street; no access shall be provided from the arterial; or
2. A series of cul-de-sacs, U-shaped streets, or short loops entered from and
designed generally at right angles to the arterial; or
3. A marginal access or service road separated from the arterial by a ten (10) feet
wide planting strip and having access at suitable points.
4. Secondary access. For public safety and convenience, secondary access shall
be provided for any single family residential development with thirty (30) or
more homes, or any other development projected to generate more than threehundred (300) trips per day, or any development that derives its sole access from
LEGALS
LEGALS
LEGALS
a street projected to carry more than three-hundred (300) trips per day.
C. Railroads, interstates or major arterials: Railroad rights-of-way, interstates,
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
