Plan Update & Implementation

In summer of 2020, consultants N-Y Associates began working on a study on the implementation of the Lafreniere Sub Area Plan, including preparing amendments to the zoning map and zoning text to effectuate the recommended strategies of the sub area plan. The firm performed an analysis on zoning, land use, and signage, and working with an appointed citizen Task Force, prepared recommendations for implementation.

The amendments to the plan and associated text & map amendments were overwhelmingly approved by the Planning Advisory Board and the Jefferson Parish Council in June of 2021.
