§ 33-2.25.1. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • Site plans are intended to provide detailed information about the location, design, and configuration of proposed buildings, parking, access ways, 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.
