St Mary Parish City Zoning Code

CHAPTER 1

Zoning Districts and Land Use

Sec. 1.1.1 Purpose of Chapter

The purpose of this Chapter is to establish zoning districts and set out, generally, what is allowed and not allowed in each district. This Chapter also provides supplemental standards that control the development of buildings and structures on residential and nonresidential lots.

Effective on: 11/1/2013

Sec. 1.1.2 Application of Chapter

Generally. In general, this Chapter:

Divides the Parish into zoning districts;
Sets out which land uses are permitted, limited, specific, and prohibited in each district;
Establishes special zones within the Parish; and
Provides standards for "limited" and "specific" uses, which are subject to additional standards, and in the case of specific uses, public hearing procedures.

Zoning Districts. Division 1.2, Establishment of Districts, establishes the districts that provide for the character and type of development that is allowed in various parts of the Parish. The zoning districts are shown on the Official Zoning District Map, which is established in Section 1.2.2, Official Zoning District Map.

Permitted, Limited, Specific, and Prohibited Uses. Division 1.3, Permitted, Limited, Specific, and Prohibited Uses, establishes which uses are allowed and not allowed in each zoning district. In general, uses are permitted or prohibited in each zoning district. However, for some uses, there are other classifications:

Limited Uses. Limited uses are approved by the Director, who applies the standards set out in Division 1.4, Limited and Specific Use Standards, in addition to the other applicable provisions of this UDC; and
Specific Uses. Specific uses are approved by the Parish Council, which applies the standards set out in Division 1.4, Limited and Specific Use Standards (if applicable), in addition to the general and special standards set out in Section 5.4.3, Specific Use Permits, and other applicable provisions of this UDC.

Overlay Zone. Division 1.5, Airport Zoning, establishes an overlay zone in the Parish.

Agricultural, Residential, and Nonresidential Standards. Division 1.6, Agricultural and Residential District Standards, Division 1.7, Special Standards for Existing Neighborhoods (EN), and Division 1.8, Nonresidential District Standards, establishes lot, yard, coverage, height, and other standards which are applied to agricultural, residential, and nonresidential development of individual lots. These divisions also includes supplemental standards that affect all agricultural, residential, and nonresidential lots, buildings, and structures.

Traditional Neighborhood Development Standards. Division 1.9, Traditional Neighborhood Development (TNDs), establishes standards which are applied to lots designed and constructed using Traditional Neighborhood Development ("TND") principles and other applicable provisions detailed throughout this UDC. This Division also establishes standards for accessory buildings, detached garages, and accessory dwelling units in TND developments.

Effective on: 3/12/2014

Sec. 1.2.1 Establishment of Zoning Districts and Boundaries

Generally. As set forth in Louisiana Revised Statute 33:4780.41, Creation of Districts; Powers of Authority; Uniform Regulations Within District, as amended, for the purpose of regulating and restricting the use of land and the erection, construction, alteration or use of buildings, structures or land to promote compatible land development patterns in accordance with the St. Mary Parish Comprehensive Plan, the unincorporated portion of St. Mary Parish, both land and water, is divided into zoning districts, as follows:

Districts. Twelve zoning districts are established in four general use categories. The zoning districts are set forth below. The general use categories are non-urban, residential, commercial, and industrial.

Non-Urban districts:
1. Agriculture (AG)
2. Conservation (CN)
Residential districts:
1. Residential Estate (RE)
2. Single-family Residential (SR)

Existing Neighborhood Subdistricts.

Establishment of EN Subdistricts. The Existing Neighborhood (EN) district is divided into three subdistricts, as set out in Table 1.2.1, Existing Neighborhood Subdistricts.

Table 1.2.1 Existing Neighborhood Subdistricts
Subdistrict	Predominant Building Types(s)

EN₁	Intended for EN district areas where the predominant building type is single-family detached dwellings.
EN ₂	Intended for EN district areas where the predominant building type is mixed residential consisting of both single-family detached dwellings and manufactured housing.
EN₃	Intended for EN district areas where the predominant building type is manufactured housing

1. EN Development Standards. General and alternate development standards are provided in Division 1.7, Special Standards for Existing Neighborhoods.

Effective on: 11/1/2013

Sec. 1.2.2 Official Zoning District Map

The location and boundaries of the various zoning districts are shown on the official zoning district map. The Director is responsible for custody of the map and will promptly make any changes approved by the Parish Council. The provisions of the UDC establishing a district, amending a district classification, or amending a district boundary controls over any conflicting information shown on the official zoning district map. The official zoning district map, together with all notations, references and other information shown thereon and all amendments thereto, shall be as much a part of these regulations as if fully set forth and described herein. The official zoning district map, properly attested, is on file in the office of the Director and is fully accessible to the public during normal business hours.

Effective on: 11/1/2013

Sec. 1.2.3 Interpretation of District Boundaries

Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the districts shown on the official zoning district map, the following rules apply:

Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the center lines of streets or highways, the center lines or rights-of-way lines are construed to be the boundaries;
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow lot lines or other parcel boundaries, the lot lines or parcel boundaries are construed to be the boundaries;
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to street center lines or street right-of-way lines, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the official zoning district map. If no distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale on said official zoning district map or by the UDC provisions establishing the district boundaries;
Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to follow such shorelines, and in the extent of change in the shoreline shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streams, rivers, canals, lakes, bayous or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such center lines;
On un-subdivided land or when a district boundary follows no identifiable feature, the location of district boundaries shall be determined by the UDC provisions establishing the district boundaries or by using the map scale appearing on the official zoning district map, unless the district line is indicated by dimensions printed on the official zoning district map, in which case the printed dimensions shall control;
Where streets or alleys on the ground differ from streets or alleys shown on the official zoning district map, the streets or alleys on the ground control; and,
Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the official zoning district map, or in circumstances not covered above, the Board of Adjustment shall interpret the district boundaries.

Effective on: 2/4/2014

Sec. 1.2.4 Compliance with District Regulations

No building or structure shall be erected, constructed, enlarged, reconstructed or altered for use nor shall any building, structure or land be used or changed in such a way that it does not comply with all the district regulations established by this UDC for the district in which the building or structure or land is located.

Effective on: 11/1/2013

Sec. 1.2.5 Zoning District Purpose Statements

Agriculture (AG) District. The zoning of property for agriculture ("AG") is intended to maintain agricultural land in such use for the long term and to minimize encroachment upon such relatively undeveloped areas by incompatible uses of a more urban nature and intensity. Property zoned "AG" includes un-platted tracts of land, existing large lots, and areas generally characterized by rural roads where adequate utilities and public facilities are not available to support higher density urban development. Agriculture is the primary use of the land to which residential is an accessory to the primary use. This district is designed for agricultural cultivation, production and grazing activities.

Conservation (CN) District. The zoning of property for conservation ("CN") is intended to protect and conserve the major environmental assets within the Parish. It includes large areas of open water, marsh, swamp, wetlands, forested lands and floodplain that are unlikely to be developed for urban uses given the limitations of federal and state environmental regulations. The conservation district also includes the least developed and most rural parts of the Parish, with limited vehicular access. Scattered individual homesteads may occur in the "CN" district, pursuant to local, state and federal regulatory provisions.

Residential Estate (RE) District. The zoning of property for residential estate ("RE") is intended to provide for conventional detached single-family residential uses on large lots. The purpose of "RE" is to provide very low density residential while protecting the semi-rural nature of the area, which is achieved through a balance between the landscape and buildings that favors the landscape. Open space and low proportions of impervious surfaces characterize the built environment. Development clustering will ensure an adequate amount of open space will be available upon build-out to enhance neighborhood character and the lifestyle of residents. This district is intended to allow residential neighborhoods. Recreational uses that serve the neighborhoods are permitted, but are restricted in scale to preserve the safety and integrity of the neighborhood streets.

Single-family Residential (SR) District. The zoning of property for single-family residential ("SR") is intended to provide for conventional detached single-family dwellings. The purpose of the "SR" district is to provide sufficient, suitable residential neighborhoods, protected from incompatible uses, provided with necessary and adequate facilities and services. The "SR" designation is appropriate for areas that are transitioning from the traditional rural nature of the Parish to a more urban use and intensity.

High Density Residential (HR) District. The zoning of property as high density residential ("HR") is intended for multiple-family dwellings such as duplexes, triplexes, townhomes, condominiums, and apartments. The purpose of the "HR" district is to provide for residential developments in a higher density setting, while ensuring livability, property values, open space, design quality and landscaping, and the safety and general welfare of its residents. This district allows development up to 18 units per acre.

Existing Neighborhood District. This ("EN") district is intended to preserve the character of the designated existing residential neighborhoods that were developed under prior zoning categories that are no longer used in this UDC, or of platted areas that may now be nonconforming. This District is intended to ensure that owners of property in designated established neighborhoods are not required to seek variances to improve existing homes that were either built before zoning regulations were adopted, or conformed to the regulations that were in effect when they were constructed. By retaining existing lot size and dimensional character of the areas as platted and built upon, nonconformities are avoided. Application of this district does not remove the unlawful status of uses, buildings, or improvements that were constructed without required permits or in violation of applicable regulations that were in effect at the time of construction.

Manufactured Homes (MH) District. The zoning of property for manufactured homes ("MH") is intended for the development in appropriate locations of manufactured home subdivisions and manufactured home parks that meet all requirements of this UDC and the Parish's Code of Ordinances, and any applicable state laws. The purpose of the "MH" district is to allow for a means of affordable housing, in HUD-code manufactured homes, within a well-designed and managed, compatible and cohesive residential environment.

Neighborhood Commercial (NC) District. The zoning of property for neighborhood commercial ("NC") is intended to provide for small-scale, limited-impact retail and office businesses on relatively small sites in convenient proximity to residential neighborhoods. The uses permitted within the "NC" district are meant to be compatible with largely residential areas and serve the retail and personal service needs of nearby residents. The nature of the permitted uses and scale of buildings are intended to blend with adjacent and nearby properties without causing adverse impacts. The "NC" district directs such development to sites at or near intersections of major roads to enhance access and minimize traffic growth and safety concerns on minor rural roads.

General Commercial (GC) District. The zoning of property for general commercial ("GC") is intended to provide for a variety of commercial uses including wholesale sales and services, general retail and service businesses, and office uses. This district is primarily intended for relatively larger sites and uses in high-traffic areas adjacent to arterial streets and highways and is appropriate for high-volume commercial shopping and service centers and developments that serve the entire Parish. The "GC" district also accommodates businesses that trade in goods and services primarily aimed at the needs of other commercial and industrial enterprises.

Highway Commercial (HC) District. The zoning of property for highway commercial ("HC") is intended to provide for intensive and large scale commercial development along US 90/I-49, where utilities are readily available and the road system is most adequate to support urban growth and associated traffic volumes in a safe and efficient manner. The "HC" district encourages concentration of commercial development at strategic locations relative to population density, available utilities and major roadway access and intersections. Development within the "HC" district is intended to be of an increased quality that is compatible with adjacent land uses and designed to positively contribute to an enhanced visual environment along this future interstate corridor. Complementary high-density residential uses may be developed nearby, with adequate buffering and compatibility measures between residential and non-residential developments. Joint access and sharing of commercial parking areas is strongly encouraged to minimize traffic congestion and avoid "strip development" outcomes along this major roadway.

Light Industrial (LI) District. The zoning of property for light industrial ("LI") is intended to accommodate enterprises engaged in low-intensity manufacturing and warehousing activities at a relatively smaller scale than uses permitted in the heavy industrial ("HI") district. The "LI" district also includes "high technology" research, development and production activities and other office and warehouse functions that may occur in a "business park" setting, with campus-style arrangement and spacing of buildings, generous landscaping, and enhanced building design. Such developments and permitted uses must cause limited impacts on surrounding properties and be compatible with nearby commercial areas and residential neighborhoods, provided adequate separation and buffering is provided. This district is not intended for general retail uses and activities. "LI" zoning is intended for areas with adequate utilities and infrastructure for the envisioned uses, as well as locations with direct access to major or minor arterial roadways to keep truck traffic away from residential and retail/office areas. Most activities within the "LI" district will occur inside a building; however, outside storage of materials and on-site work activities are permitted subject to adequate screening and buffering.

Heavy Industrial (HI) District. The zoning of property for heavy industrial ("HI") is intended to provide for the most intensive and large-scale manufacturing, warehouse and port-related development that meet the economic development needs of the Parish. At the same time, the nature and scale of such development, including certain nuisance characteristics (e.g., noise/vibration, smoke/dust, odor, heat, glare, visual impact, etc.), are not compatible with residential and/or less-intensive commercial or industrial uses. Development requiring "HI" zoning should be situated away from the Parish's major environmental, recreation and tourism assets and in areas traditionally noted for or having the necessary facilities and services to effectively support such uses. This includes adequate utilities and infrastructure and access to major roadways and rail, water or air transport facilities and services. Associated truck traffic should be focused on adequate roadways that avoid areas not conducive to heavy industrial activity and related goods movement, especially to minimize public safety risk if potentially dangerous materials or substances are handled, processed or transported. Large sites and substantial perimeter buffers are necessary for facilities that pose a risk of fire, explosion, or accidental release of radiation or toxic matter.

Effective on: 2/4/2014

Sec. 1.3.1 Interpretation of Use Tables

Generally. Land and structures in each zoning district may only be used for the listed uses specified as a use permitted by right in that district as shown in the Use Tables provided in this Division.

Types of Uses. Use categories classify land and activities into categories based on common functional, product or physical characteristics. Characteristics include type and amount of activity, the type of customers or residents, how goods or services are sold or delivered and site conditions. The following types of uses are included in the Use Table:

"P" means that the use is Permitted. Permitted uses are allowed by right in the respective district subject to the height and area requirements and development standards specified for that district and other applicable regulations of this UDC.
"L" means that the use is Limited. Limited uses are allowed by right in the respective district subject to the standards set out in Division 1.4, Limited and Specific Use Standards, in addition to the height and area requirements and development standards specified for that district and other applicable regulations of this UDC.
"S" means that the use is a Specific Use. Specific uses will be permitted, provided that the use meets the standards and criteria in Division 1.4, Limited and Specific Use Standards (if applicable), and Section 5.4.3, Specific Use Permits. Such uses are also subject to other applicable regulations of this UDC.
"-" means that the use is Prohibited in that district.

Uses Not Listed. If the Director determines that a proposed use is not listed, or if there is ambiguity as to its proper classification within the respective zoning district(s), the Director shall make an official determination as to the appropriate district or districts for the use. The Director shall use the purpose statements in Section 1.2.5, Zoning District Purpose Statements, and the criteria described below in determining new or unlisted use classifications. The Director's decision may be appealed by an applicant to the Board of Adjustment for a final determination as to the appropriate district for the use to be located. In the event the determination requires a text amendment, the proposed use must be sent to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Parish Council for their consideration and action in accordance with the procedures for amending the text of this UDC, which is set out in Section 5.4.9, Text Amendments. The considerations to be used in making similar use interpretations are as follows:

The actual or projected characteristics of the activity in relationship to the stated characteristics of each use category;
The relative amount of site area or floor area space and equipment devoted to the activity;
The customer type from each activity;
The relative number of employees in each activity;
Hours of operation;
Building and site arrangement;
Vehicles and equipment used with the activity;
The relative number of vehicle trips generated by the use; and
How the use advertises itself.

Sec. 1.4.7 Traditional Neighborhood Development

Intent. Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) is a form of development that is intended to include a variety of residential lot sizes and housing types along with supportive nonresidential development that is designed in a way to be more pedestrian oriented and with higher design quality than standard residential development. To accomplish this, it requires provisions that provide flexibility while ensuring the resulting development meets the higher quality design specifications and true intent of a TND. As such, the Parish Council has integrated both the increased flexibility and the higher design standards into the UDC.

Applicability.

TND Specific Standards. TNDs are permitted pursuant to the standards of this Section in the districts where the use is specified in Table 1.3.2, Residential, Home, and Institutional Uses, as "S." The following includes provisions specifically regulating TND design and development:
1. Division 1.9, Traditional Neighborhood Developments (TNDs);
2. Division 2.4, Traditional Neighborhood Developments;
3. Division 3.3, Traditional Neighborhood Development Design and Layout;
4. Section 3.2.7, Blocks;
5. Section 3.2.8, Lots;
6. Section 3.5.2, Required Parking and Loading;
7. Section 3.6.1, Street Design Objectives and Review;
8. Section 3.6.2, Street Design Objectives;
9. Section 3.6.5, Alleys;
10. Section 3.6.12; Performance Standards for Residential Streets;
11. Section 5.4.10, Pattern Book Approvals.
Other Applicable Standards. TNDs are regulated by the specific TND standards identified in subsection B.1., of this Section, and the performance measures established by the applicant and approved by the Parish Council during a public hearing (see Section 5.4.10, Pattern Book Approvals). When there are standards specific to TNDs and similar standards for the underlying zoning district (e.g., bufferyard requirements), the standards specific to TNDs supersede the provisions of the underlying zoning district. In the event there is no applicable standard specific to TNDs, and it is not covered in the approved Pattern Book, the standards of the underlying zoning district apply.

Effective on: 2/6/2014

5. 5.
  Transfer and/or Sale. A permit issued under this Section may, with the approval of the Parish, be transferred or assigned, with the assignee being obligated to all requirements of the permit and this Section; however, written notice of such transfer or assignment shall be made to the Parish and the identity of the new permittee shall be noted in the Parish records.
  1. a.
    The issuance of a permit under this Section shall serve as the agreement and acknowledgment by the permittee, and its successors and assigns, as well as the property owners, that St. Mary Parish Government shall have standing to enforce any and all provisions and obligations of the permit.

Sec. 1.5.1 Short Title of Division

This Division shall be known and may be cited as "The Harry P. Williams Memorial Airport Hazard Zoning Ordinance."

Effective on: 11/1/2013

Sec. 1.5.2 Zone Types

In order to carry out the provisions of this Division, there are hereby created and established certain zones which include all of the land lying within the approach zones, transitional zones, horizontal zones, and conical zones as they apply to the Harry P. Williams Memorial Airport. Such zones are shown on the Harry P. Williams Memorial Airport Hazard Zoning Map consisting of one sheet, prepared by Dawson Engineers, Inc., and dated March, 1982. An area located in more than one of the following zones is considered to be only in the zone with the more restrictive height limitation. The various zones are hereby established and defined as follows:

Utility Runway Visual Approach Zone. The inner edge of this approach zone coincides with the width of the primary surface and is 250 feet wide. The approach zone extends outward uniformly to a width of 1,250 feet at a horizontal distance of 5,000 feet from the primary surface. Its centerline is the continuation of the centerline of the runway.
Utility Runway Nonprecision Instrument Approach Zone. The inner edge of this approach zone coincides with the width of the primary surface and is 500 feet wide. The approach zone expands outward uniformly to a width of 2,000 feet at a horizontal distance of 5,000 feet from the primary surface. Its centerline is the continuation of the centerline of the runway.
Runway Larger than Utility Visual Approach Zone. The inner edge of this approach zone coincides with the width of the primary surface and is 500 feet wide. The approach zone expands outward uniformly to a width of 1,500 feet at a horizontal distance of 5,000 feet from the primary surface. Its centerline is the continuation of the centerline of the runway.
Runway Larger than Utility with a Visibility Minimum Greater than Three-quarter-mile Nonprecision Instrument Approach Zone. The inner edge of this approach zone coincides with the width of the primary surface and is 500 feet wide. The approach zone expands outward uniformly to a width of 3,500 feet at a horizontal distance of 10,000 feet from the primary surface, its centerline being the continuation of the centerline of the runway.
Runway Larger than Utility with a Visibility Minimum as Low as Three-quarter-mile Nonprecision Instrument Approach Zone. The inner edge of this approach zone coincides with the width of the primary surface and is 1,000 feet wide. The approach zone expands outward uniformly to a width of 4,000 feet at a horizontal distance of 10,000 feet from the primary surface. Its centerline is the continuation of the centerline of the runway.
Transitional Zones. For aircraft, these zones are hereby established as the areas beneath the transitional surfaces. For helicopters, these zones extend outward from the sides of the primary surface and the heliport approach zones a horizontal distance of 250 feet from the primary surface centerline and the heliport approach zone centerline.
Horizontal Zone. The horizontal zone is hereby established by swinging arcs of 5,000 feet radii for the seaway and 10,000 feet for the runway 5/23 from the center of each end of the primary surface of each runway and connecting the adjacent arcs by drawing lines tangent to those arcs. The horizontal zone does not include the approach and transitional zones.
Conical Zone. The conical zone is hereby established as the area that commences at the periphery of the horizontal zone and extends outward therefrom a horizontal distance of 4,000 feet. The conical zone does not include the precision instrument approach zones and the transitional zones.
Heliport Approach Zone. The approach zone begins at each end of the heliport primary surface with the same width as the primary surface and extends outward and upward for a horizontal distance of 4,000 feet where its width is 500 feet. The slope of the approach surface is 8 to 1 for civil heliports.
Precision Instrument Runway Approach Zone. The inner edge of this approach zone coincides with the width of the primary surface and is 1,000 feet wide. The approach zone expands outward uniformly to a width of 16,000 feet at a horizontal distance of 50,000 feet from the primary surface. Its centerline is the continuation of the centerline of the runway.

Effective on: 11/1/2013

Effective on: 11/1/2013

Sec. 1.5.5 Permits Required

Generally. Except as specifically provided in subsections A.1., A.2., and A.3., of this Section, no material change shall be made in the use of land, and no structure or tree shall be erected, altered, planted, or otherwise established in any zone hereby created unless a permit therefor shall have been applied for and granted. Each application for a permit shall indicate the purpose for which the permit is desired, with sufficient particularity to permit it to be determined whether the resulting use, structure, or tree would conform to the regulations prescribed in this section. If such determination is in the affirmative, the permit shall be granted. No permit for a use inconsistent with the provisions of this Division shall be granted unless a variance has been approved in accordance with Section 5.4.6, Airport Variances.

In the area lying within the limits of the horizontal zone and conical zone, no permit shall be required for a tree or structure of less than 75 feet of vertical height above the ground, except when, because of terrain, land contour, or topographic features, such tree or structure would extend above the height limits prescribed for such zones.
In areas lying within the limits of the approach zones, but at a horizontal distance of not less than 4,200 feet from each end of the runway, no permit shall be required for any tree or structure less than 75 feet of vertical height above the ground, except when, because of terrain, land contour, or topographic features, such tree or structure would extend above the height limits prescribed for such zones.
In the areas lying within the limits of the transition zone beyond the perimeter of the horizontal zone, no permit shall be required for any tree or structure less than 75 feet of vertical height above the ground, except when, because of terrain, land contour, or topographic features, such tree or structure would extend above the height limits prescribed for such zones. Nothing contained in any of the exceptions of this section shall be construed as permitting or intending to permit any construction or alteration of any structure or growth of any tree in excess of any height limits established by this Section except as set forth in Section 1.5.3, Height Limitations.

Existing Uses. No permit shall be granted that would allow the establishment or creation of an airport hazard or permit a nonconforming use, structure, or tree to become a greater hazard to air navigation than it was on the effective date of this Division or any amendments thereto or than it is when the application for a permit is made. Except as indicated, all applications for such a permit shall be granted.

Obstruction Marking and Lighting. Any permit or variance granted may, if such action is deemed advisable to effectuate the purpose of this Division and be responsible in the circumstances, be so conditional as to require the owner of the structure or tree in question to install, operate, and maintain, at the owner's expense, such markings and lights as may be necessary. If deemed proper by the Airport Board of Appeals, this condition may be modified to require the owner to permit the state department of transportation at its own expense, to install, operate, and maintain the necessary markings and lights.

Effective on: 11/1/2013

Sec. 1.5.6 Adoption and Amendments

Public Hearing Required. No airport zoning regulations shall be adopted, amended, or changed under this Division except after a public hearing and recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission, followed by a public hearing and decision by the Parish Council. Thirty days' notice of the hearing date, time, and place shall be published in the official journal of the Parish.

State Consent and Approval Required. Such airport zoning regulations adopted by the Parish Council after such public hearing is held shall have the consent and approval of the state department of transportation and development, as provided for in the Louisiana Revised Statutes 2:139 of 1936.

Required Yards.
1. The depth of the required front and rear yards are determined by measuring along the side lot lines, beginning at the respective front and rear lot lines and extending to the required minimum distances. The depth of the required side and corner yards are determined by measuring along the front and rear yards, beginning at the respective side and corner lot lines and extending to the required minimum distances.
2. Except as otherwise provided in these regulations, a building must not be erected, established, altered, converted, or relocated so as to be located or extend within the required front, side, corner or rear yard.
3. In applying these regulations, the front yard of a corner lot may be parallel to either street upon which the lot abuts provided all minimum lot dimensions and setbacks are maintained.
4. On lots having double frontage, the required front yard shall be provided on both streets.
5. Every part of a required front yard must be open and unobstructed of structures from ground level of the graded lot to the sky, except as follows:
  1. Trees, shrubbery and other landscape materials.
  2. Driveways in front and corner yards.
  3. Sidewalks in any required yard.
  4. Uncovered porches and steps to building entrances and uncovered decks and balconies extending up to six feet into any required yard setback.
  5. Sills, belt courses, cornices, buttresses, chimneys, flues, eaves and other architectural features may extend up to two feet into any required yard.
  6. Accessory structures that do not require a building permit.
6. Side Yard Setback Reductions. Where the front, interior side and rear setbacks of the zoning district reduce the buildable width of a corner lot to less than 40 feet, the Director shall be authorized to reduce the required front setback on the longer street side as much as necessary to increase the buildable width to 40 feet. In the event the street sides of such lot are of equal length, the reduction shall be made on the side which lies on the shorter side of the block.
7. Height Exemptions. Unless otherwise expressly stated, the height limitations of these regulations shall not apply to any of the following:
  1. Electrical power transmission lines;
  2. Flagpoles, belfries, cupolas, spires, domes, monuments, chimneys, radio/television receiving antennas or chimney flues; or
  3. Bulkhead, elevator, water tank, or any other similar structure or necessary mechanical appurtenance extending above the roof of any building where such structure does not occupy more than 33 percent of the area of the roof.
  4. Sports lighting facilities owned by or under the control of a governmental entity and utility poles and towers owned by a utility and used for the transmission and distribution of electricity may be erected to any height in any zoning district, unless prohibited by airport height hazard zoning regulations as specified in Division 1.5, Airport Zoning.

Sec. 1.7.2 EN Development Standards

Generally. This Section sets out the standards for new development, redevelopment, and expansion of existing single-family dwellings and manufactured homes in the EN district.

Applicability. The lot standards set out in Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards, and Table 1.7.2B, EN Building Standards, apply after the effective date of this UDC to all property zoned EN, which includes:

Further subdivision of already platted tracts;
Consolidation of lots zoned EN that occurs after the effective date of this UDC; and
Lots that have been vacant for a period of at least six months.

General Lot Standards. The lot standards in each EN subdistrict are set out in Table 1.7.2, EN Lot Standards. These standards do not make existing development nonconforming.

Table 1.7.2A EN Lot Standards
Subdistrict	Lot Dimensions				Yards			Height
Subdistrict	Lot Area	Lot Width	Lot Width, Corner	Lot Depth	Front Yard	Rear Yard	Side Yard	Height
EN₁	8,000 sf	50'	60'	100'	20'	10'	5'	35'
EN₂	5,000 sf	50'	60'	100'	15'	5'	5'	35'
EN₃	5,000 sf	50'	60'	100'	15'	5'	5'	35'

Allowable Building Types. The allowable building types in each EN subdistrict are set out in Table 1.7.2B, EN Allowable Building Types. On existing lots, if the placement of a new home, or the expansion of an existing home do not comply with the standards of Table 1.7.2B, EN Allowable Building Types, the proposed development, redevelopment, or expansion will be evaluated pursuant to subsection E., of this Section. On lots subdivided after the effective date of this UDC, all buildings shall comply with the standards set out in Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards.

Table 1.7.2B EN Allowable Building Types
Subdistrict	Dwelling Types Allowed
Subdistrict	Single-Family Detached	Manufactured Homes
EN₁	Allowed. New housing or expansions are allowed per the setback standards set out in Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards, or subsection E., below.	Existing manufactured homes on lots that meet the standards set out in Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards, are allowed and may be modified or expanded in conformance with this Section. New manufactured homes are not allowed.
EN₂	Allowed. New housing or expansions are allowed per the setback standards set out in Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards, or subsection E., below.	Existing manufactured homes are allowed to be replaced on existing lots that do not meet the minimum requirements set out in Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards. New manufactured homes are allowed on existing lots that were vacant on the effective date of this UDC provided that the setbacks are in compliance with Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards, or subsection E., below. New manufactured homes are allowed on lots created after the effective date of this UDC provided that they meet the standards of Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards.
EN₃	New Single-Family Detached housing is not allowed.	Existing manufactured homes are allowed to be replaced on existing lots that do not meet the minimum requirements set out in Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards. New manufactured homes are allowed on existing lots that were vacant on the effective date of this UDC and provided that the setbacks are in compliance with Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards, or subsection E., below. New manufactured homes are allowed on lots created after the effective date of this UDC provided that they meet the standards of Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards.

Alternate Setback Standards for Existing Lots. In the EN subdistricts, rigid adherence to inflexible building setback requirements is often not practical or disrupts the character of existing development that may have existed prior to the development of this UDC. This subsection only applies to the new development, redevelopment, or expansion of EN lots that were existing at the effective date of this UDC. Placement of buildings on new lots subdivided after the effective date shall comply with Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards.
1. Relationship to Variances. Compliance with the standards of this subsection is equivalent to compliance with the standards of Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards, and approvals hereunder are not considered variances. Variances shall not be granted to allow encroachments if the encroachments could be permitted pursuant to the standards of this subsection.
2. Relationship to Servitudes and Rights-of-Way. The standards of this subsection shall not be construed to authorize construction of buildings or portions of buildings in utility or drainage servitude or public rights-of-way.
3. Alternate Setbacks, Generally. Alternate setbacks shall only be allowed if it is demonstrated that the proposed construction:
  1. Does not interfere with planned expansion of right-of-way, and if right-of-way expansion is planned, the application is evaluated as if the right-of-way has been expanded;
  2. Does not result in interference with a utility servitude;
  3. Does not cause more or faster drainage onto abutting properties or rights-of-way than the condition that existed before the proposed construction;
  4. Does not result in a nonconformity with respect to the building code on either the applicant's lot or the abutting property; or
  5. Is built to building code standards (e.g., fire ratings) that would allow construction of the abutting lot to be built to the same standard along the same setback line.
4. New Development, Redevelopment, or Expansion on Existing Lots; Alternate Front Setbacks. On existing lots, a new single-family detached dwelling or manufactured home may be placed or expanded as long as the building meets one of the following:
  1. The building is an allowable building type and it meets the required front setback standard per the applicable as set out in Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards; or
  2. The building is an allowable building type and the placement cannot meet the required front setback standard, but it is demonstrated that the proposed new front setback:
    1. is equal to the front setback of homes on the two lots abutting the lot proposed for development; or
    2. is located within a 10 percent range of the average actual setback of the other homes on the same side of the block.
  3. If these calculations cannot be determined due to there being an insufficient number of existing dwellings on abutting or lots on the same side of the block, then these alternate front setback standards do not apply.
5. New Development, Redevelopment, or Expansion on Existing Lots; All Other Setbacks. On existing lots, all new buildings or expansions shall comply with the applicable setback standards set out in Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards.
Accessory Buildings and Structures. Accessory buildings and structures that were legally permitted on the effective date of this UDC are conforming. New accessory buildings and structures shall meet the meet the minimum standards as set out in Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards, and other applicable sections of this UDC.

Lot Dimensions. No building permit or development approval may be issued for a lot that does not meet the minimum lot area requirements as shown in Table 1.8.1, Nonresidential Lot, Yard, Height, and Coverage Standards, except in the case of a nonconforming lot in accordance with Section 6.3.10, Nonconforming Lots.
Required Yards.
1. No part of a yard required in connection with any building, lot, or use for the purpose of complying with these regulations shall be included for any other building, lot or use as part of a yard.
2. The depth of the required front and rear yards are determined by measuring along the side lot lines, beginning at the respective front and rear lot lines and extending to the required minimum distances. The depth of the required side and corner yards are determined by measuring along the front and rear yards, beginning at the respective side and corner lot lines and extending to the required minimum distances.
3. Except as otherwise provided in these regulations, a building must not be erected, established, altered, converted, or relocated so as to be located or extend within the required front, side, corner or rear yard.
4. In applying these regulations, the front yard of a corner lot may be parallel to either street upon which the lot abuts provided all minimum lot dimensions and setbacks are maintained.
5. On lots having double frontage, the required front yard shall be provided on both streets.
6. Off-street parking facilities may be located within the required front yard of any nonresidential establishment in a nonresidential district, but shall conform to the height and area regulations and development standards of the applicable district.
7. Every part of a required front yard must be open and unobstructed of structures from ground level of the graded lot to the sky, except as follows:
  1. Trees, shrubbery and other landscape materials.
  2. Fences and walls.
  3. Driveways in front and corner yards.
  4. Sidewalks in any required yard.

  7. Sills, belt courses, cornices, buttresses, chimneys, flues, eaves and other architectural features may extend up to two feet into any required yard.
  8. Accessory structures that do not require a building permit.
Side Yard Setback Reductions. Where the front, interior side and rear setbacks of the underlying zoning district reduce the buildable width of a corner lot to less than 40 feet, the Director shall be authorized to reduce the required front setback on the longer street side as much as necessary to increase the buildable width to 40 feet. In the event the street sides of such lot are of equal length, the reduction shall be made on the side which lies on the shorter side of the block.
Height. Unless otherwise expressly stated, the height limitations of these regulations shall not apply to any of the following:
1. Electrical power transmission lines;
2. Flagpoles, belfries, cupolas, spires, domes, monuments, chimneys, radio/television receiving antennas or chimney flues; or

The portion of a site covered by principal and accessory buildings and structures, as measured from the outside of the building or structure at ground level, shall not exceed the percentage of the net lot area as shown in Table 1.8.1, Nonresidential Lot, Yard, Height, and Coverage Standards, for the district in which the use is located.

Effective on: 2/6/2014

Sec. 1.8.2 Additional Nonresidential Standards

Generally. All nonresidential development shall comply with the standards of this Section.

Artificial Lighting. Artificial lighting used to illuminate the premises and/or signage shall be directed away from adjacent or nearby residential properties.

Outdoor Storage. Materials and equipment not offered for sale or rent may be stored outside if they are within an area that is 100 percent screened on all sides from public view. In no such case, shall fencing be required to exceed 10 feet in height.

Outdoor Display. Customary passenger vehicles, trailers, recreational vehicles, motor vehicles and other motorized machinery and equipment for sale or lease may be displayed on an unlimited basis outside a building on a display are a or lot, provided that the display area shall not be placed within a required parking/paving setback area and shall not reduce the capacity of a parking lot below that required by these regulations for the use.

Screening. Nonresidential development shall be screened from residential development by a bufferyard as set out in Section 3.11.1, Bufferyard Requirements.

Mechanical and Utility Equipment. Mechanical and utility equipment shall be screened in accordance with the provisions set out in Section 2.3.2, Mechanical and Utility Equipment Screening.

Effective on: 11/1/2013

Sec. 1.8.3 Compatibility Standards

Generally. Compatibility standards are intended to preserve and protect low density residential uses and neighborhoods by ensuring that new development and redevelopment is compatible with the character of the area in which it is located. The compatibility standards apply to all multiple-family residential and nonresidential developments when it occurs on a lot within 150 feet of the lot line of any residential property or across the street from or adjacent to a lot containing a single-family or two-family dwelling.

Building Setback and Height Standards. The following building setback and height standards shall apply to development that is subject to the compatibility standards of this Section:

Building setbacks. On a site with 60 feet of lot width or less, no structure shall be within 20 feet of the lot line of residential property that contains a single-family or two-family dwelling. On a site with more than 60 feet of lot width, the minimum setback from the lot line of property that is zoned residential or that contains a single-family or two-family dwelling shall be 20 feet, plus two additional feet of setback for each 10 additional feet of lot width, or fraction thereof (beyond 60 feet). This Section shall not be interpreted as requiring a setback of more than 30 feet.
Parking and Driveway Setbacks. No off-street parking area or driveway shall be located within 20 feet of the lot line of residentially zoned property or that contains a single-family or two-family dwelling unless the parking and driveway are located on a site that is equal to or less than 120 feet in width. Minimum parking and driveway setbacks for sites with equal to or less than 120 feet of width are established in Table 1.8.3, Compatibility Parking Standards.

1. Building Height. No structure shall exceed 35 feet in height within 50 feet of the lot line of residentially zoned property or that contains a single-family or two-family dwelling. No structure shall exceed 40 feet in height within 75 feet of residentially zoned property or that contains a single-family or two-family dwelling. Structures located over 75 feet from residentially zoned property or that contains a single-family or two-family dwelling, may increase in height, if permitted by applicable district regulations, at a ratio of one foot in height for each five feet of setback. For example, a building limited to 40 feet in height at 75 feet from residentially zoned property may be increased to a height of 60 feet at a point that is 175 feet from the residentially zoned property.

Effective on: 11/1/2013

Sec. 1.9.1 Traditional Neighborhood Developments (TNDs) Permitted

Generally. A traditional neighborhood development ("TND") is a mixed-use community within the Parish that offers a variety of housing types at a variety of price points; prominently sited civic or community buildings and public open spaces; and stores, offices, services, and (in larger developments) schools, providing a balanced mix of activities in close proximity to each other. TNDs have a recognizable center and clearly defined edges, and streets, sidewalks, and pathways are designed so that in most locations the pedestrian and bicyclist are given at least equal status as the automobile.

Mix of Uses. TNDs are mixed-use developments that are allowed to include a wider variety of uses than are otherwise allowed in the zoning district.

Pattern Books. Pattern books are required for TNDs. See Section 5.4.10, Pattern Book Approvals.

Establishment of Subdistricts. TND Plans submitted for approval pursuant to this UDC shall indicate three subdistricts:

Center ("C"), which is the location for the most intense development, including vertically mixed-use (at the applicant’s option), and formal public gathering spaces.
General ("G"), which is the location for most of the housing in the development.
Edge ("E"), which is the location for the least intense development, in the form of relatively large-lot single-family detached residences.

Relationship to TND Subdistricts. Subdistricts are applied across the entire TND, regardless of the underlying zoning district. Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted to require that each zoning district contain all three TND subdistricts.

Effective on: 11/1/2013

Sec. 1.9.2 TND Lot and Yard Standards

Generally. The general standards for each housing type are out in Division 1.6, Agricultural and Residential District Standards, which contains lot standards, minimum lot areas and dimensions, setbacks, building heights, and maximum building coverage (if applicable) for each type of building. These standards ensure that each building type will have adequate light and air, living area, and yard areas to provide a quality experience. However, to achieve the design objectives of a TND, it may be desirable to modify the requirements of Division 1.6, Agricultural and Residential District Standards. Accordingly, the lot, yard, and building coverage standards of Division 1.6, Agricultural and Residential District Standards, may be modified upon approval of a Pattern Book that meets the requirements of Section 5.4.10, Pattern Book Approvals, and demonstrates compliance with the standards of this Section.

Minimum Number of Housing Types. Housing types shall be mixed as required by Section 3.3.2, TND Mix of Housing Types.

Subdistricts. The applicant shall designate the boundaries of the subdistricts on a map that is included in the Pattern Book. Patterns shall be provided for each subdistrict.

Modification of Setbacks.

Range of Modification. Setbacks may be modified, or replaced with "build-to" lines, as provided in Table 1.9.2, Reduced Setbacks for TNDs. Setbacks or build-to lines may be established for subdistricts or for individual street segments, and shall be described in the Pattern Book.

Table 1.9.2 Reduced Setbacks for TNDs
Subdistrict	Setback or Build-To Range
Subdistrict	Front	Interior Side	Street Side	Rear
Center	0 to 8 feet	As allowed by building code	3 feet or more	Any

1. Criteria for Modification.
  1. Where front setbacks will be less than eight feet, the applicant shall provide drawings in the Pattern Book that show:
    1. How steps giving entry to the homes will be designed;
    2. How a combination of street trees, yard landscaping, and open space configuration and landscaping provide for a streetscape that compensates for the loss of front yard landscape area;
    3. That the reduction in the front yard will be offset by an equivalent increase in the rear yard of the principal building, or the creation of a courtyard or patio on the side of the building that makes up for the loss of the front and rear yard;
    4. That the lot takes access from an alley; and
    5. That the modified front setback will not impact neighboring properties. If the development has lots that front on an existing street with residential development on the other side, then the standards of Division 1.6, Agricultural and Residential District Standards, shall apply to those lots.
  2. Where side setbacks (interior or street) will be modified, the applicant shall demonstrate that:
    1. The buildings will comply with applicable building codes;
    2. There is sufficient spacing to provide for building maintenance and access;
    3. The configuration will not interfere with sight distance requirements; and
    4. With respect to street side yards only, a combination of street trees, yard landscaping, and open space configuration and landscaping will provide for a streetscape that compensates for the loss of front yard landscape area.
  3. Where rear setbacks will be modified, the applicant shall demonstrate that:
    1. The design provides for comparable useable outdoor living space on the lot (e.g., through a larger front yard or a courtyard or patio on the side of the house);
    2. The design will not create an unsafe condition for the passage of vehicles and pedestrians in an abutting alley (if present); and
    3. The design will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of rear or side yards on abutting lots.

Modification of Lot Dimensions. Lot dimensions may be modified if it is demonstrated that:
1. The proposed lot sizes will ensure a diversity of development that is consistent with the intent of the standards of Division 1.6, Agricultural and Residential District Standards;
2. The proposed lot sizes are sufficient to provide light and air to all of the dwelling units in the development;
3. The proposed lot sizes are appropriate to the types of housing that are proposed on the lots;
4. The proposed lot sizes, combined with the permitted building coverage, provide enough room for useable outdoor living space for all single family detached housing types; and
5. The proposed lot sizes provide enough room for utilities and drainage.
Modification of Building Coverage. Building coverage may be modified if lot sizes are reduced, as follows:
1. For all housing types except townhomes (of any type):
  1. The permitted building coverage shall not allow for the complete development of the area bounded by the setback lines on the lot in order to ensure that buildings are not monolithic in appearance (compliance with this standard requires a meaningful articulation of the building); or
  2. The permitted building coverage allows for the complete development of the area bounded by the setback lines on the lot, but another bulk control is used to ensure that the second floor is articulated to avoid the appearance of a monolithic building.
2. For townhomes, the building coverage may be increased to allow for the complete development of the area bounded by the setback lines.

Effective on: 11/1/2013

Sec. 1.9.3 Accessory Buildings and Detached Garages

Generally. Not more than two buildings (in addition to the principal building) shall be permitted on a lot pursuant to this Section. In some cases, only an accessory building may be allowed.

Accessory Buildings.

Accessory buildings that are not detached garages are permitted on all residential lots except through lots, and shall be subject to the standards of Section 1.6.2, Residential Accessory Uses, Buildings, and Structures.
Accessory buildings shall have the same architecture and building materials as principal buildings.

Detached Garages. Detached garages are permitted as provided in this subsection. These standards supersede any standards of Section 1.6.2, Residential Accessory Uses, Buildings, and Structures that are in direct conflict. Where there is no conflict, the standards of Section 1.6.2, Residential Accessory Uses, Buildings, and Structures also apply.

Maximum Ground Floor Area.
1. Center ("C") subdistrict and General ("G") subdistrict: 600 square feet.
2. Edge ("E") subdistrict: 800 square feet.
Maximum Height.
1. 15 feet if used only as a garage;
2. 35 feet if ancillary dwelling unit is constructed above the garage.
Location. Detached garages shall be located behind the principal building or to the side of the principal building. Such garages shall be set back of at least 25 feet more from the front lot line than the facade of the principal building.
Architecture. Detached garages shall be designed to be architecturally comparable to the principal building.

Sec. 1.9.4 TND Accessory Dwelling Units

Generally. ADUs may be built in new traditional neighborhood developments (TNDs) that are approved after the effective date of this UDC.

Minimum Standards. Development of ADUs in TNDs shall comply with the following standards in addition to other applicable sections of this UDC:

Applicability. Any or all single-family lots that are larger than 6,000 square feet may developed with ADUs, provided that the site plan or plat specifically designates the lots upon which such development may occur, or provides a general statement that ADUs are allowed on all single-family lots in the subdivision.
Pattern Book. In the required pattern book (See Section 5.4.10, Pattern Book Approvals), the applicant shall submit plans showing how the homes will be designed to provide for accessory units. The units may be within the structure, a separate structure, or above a detached garage. Specific design standards shall be provided for each one of the arrangements that are to be permitted.
Compatibility. The Parish Council may place conditions on the designation of lots that abut existing development in order to ensure compatibility. These conditions may include:
1. A limitation on the lots that abut existing development that may be developed with ADUs to those which will have the least impact due to the configuration of lots and natural resources;
2. The designation and installation of a Type B Bufferyard (see Section 3.11.1, Bufferyard Requirements) along the property lines that divide the parcel proposed for development from existing development; or
3. A limitation on the types and designs of ADUs that may be constructed on lots that abut existing development.
Limitations.
1. Not more than one site-constructed ADU shall be constructed on a single-family lot.

1. ADUs shall comply with the design requirements set out for all ADUs as specified in subsections B.4., B.5., and B.6., of Section 1.4.1, Accessory Dwelling Units.
2. ADUs may be attached to or integrated into the principal building if it is demonstrated that:
  1. The ADU does not have a separate exterior entrance that faces the street.
  2. Modifications to the outside of the principal building that are necessary to accommodate the ADU appear as integrated elements of the principal building in terms of materials, architecture, roof pitch, window styles, and color.
3. ADUs may be located in a separate building or above a detached garage, provided that it meets the standards set out in Section 1.6.2, Residential Accessory Uses, Buildings, and Structures.

Sec. 1.2.3 Interpretation of District Boundaries

Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of any of the districts shown on the official zoning district map, the following rules apply:

Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the center lines of streets or highways, the center lines or rights-of-way lines are construed to be the boundaries;
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow lot lines or other parcel boundaries, the lot lines or parcel boundaries are construed to be the boundaries;
Where district boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to street center lines or street right-of-way lines, such district boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance therefrom as indicated on the official zoning district map. If no distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale on said official zoning district map or by the UDC provisions establishing the district boundaries;
Boundaries indicated as following shorelines shall be construed to follow such shorelines, and in the extent of change in the shoreline shall be construed as moving with the actual shoreline. Boundaries indicated as approximately following the center lines of streams, rivers, canals, lakes, bayous or other bodies of water shall be construed to follow such center lines;
On un-subdivided land or when a district boundary follows no identifiable feature, the location of district boundaries shall be determined by the UDC provisions establishing the district boundaries or by using the map scale appearing on the official zoning district map, unless the district line is indicated by dimensions printed on the official zoning district map, in which case the printed dimensions shall control;
Where streets or alleys on the ground differ from streets or alleys shown on the official zoning district map, the streets or alleys on the ground control; and,
Where physical or cultural features existing on the ground are at variance with those shown on the official zoning district map, or in circumstances not covered above, the Board of Adjustment shall interpret the district boundaries.

Sec. 1.7.2 EN Development Standards

Generally. This Section sets out the standards for new development, redevelopment, and expansion of existing single-family dwellings and manufactured homes in the EN district.

Further subdivision of already platted tracts;
Consolidation of lots zoned EN that occurs after the effective date of this UDC; and
Lots that have been vacant for a period of at least six months.

General Lot Standards. The lot standards in each EN subdistrict are set out in Table 1.7.2, EN Lot Standards. These standards do not make existing development nonconforming.

Table 1.7.2A EN Lot Standards
Subdistrict	Lot Dimensions				Yards			Height
Subdistrict	Lot Area	Lot Width	Lot Width, Corner	Lot Depth	Front Yard	Rear Yard	Side Yard	Height
EN₁	8,000 sf	50'	60'	100'	20'	10'	5'	35'
EN₂	5,000 sf	50'	60'	100'	15'	5'	5'	35'
EN₃	5,000 sf	50'	60'	100'	15'	5'	5'	35'

Allowable Building Types. The allowable building types in each EN subdistrict are set out in Table 1.7.2B, EN Allowable Building Types. On existing lots, if the placement of a new home, or the expansion of an existing home do not comply with the standards of Table 1.7.2B, EN Allowable Building Types, the proposed development, redevelopment, or expansion will be evaluated pursuant to subsection E., of this Section. On lots subdivided after the effective date of this UDC, all buildings shall comply with the standards set out in Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards.

Table 1.7.2B EN Allowable Building Types
Subdistrict	Dwelling Types Allowed
Subdistrict	Single-Family Detached	Manufactured Homes
EN₁	Allowed. New housing or expansions are allowed per the setback standards set out in Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards, or subsection E., below.	Existing manufactured homes on lots that meet the standards set out in Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards, are allowed and may be modified or expanded in conformance with this Section. New manufactured homes are not allowed.
EN₂	Allowed. New housing or expansions are allowed per the setback standards set out in Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards, or subsection E., below.	Existing manufactured homes are allowed to be replaced on existing lots that do not meet the minimum requirements set out in Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards. New manufactured homes are allowed on existing lots that were vacant on the effective date of this UDC provided that the setbacks are in compliance with Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards, or subsection E., below. New manufactured homes are allowed on lots created after the effective date of this UDC provided that they meet the standards of Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards.
EN₃	New Single-Family Detached housing is not allowed.	Existing manufactured homes are allowed to be replaced on existing lots that do not meet the minimum requirements set out in Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards. New manufactured homes are allowed on existing lots that were vacant on the effective date of this UDC and provided that the setbacks are in compliance with Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards, or subsection E., below. New manufactured homes are allowed on lots created after the effective date of this UDC provided that they meet the standards of Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards.

Alternate Setback Standards for Existing Lots. In the EN subdistricts, rigid adherence to inflexible building setback requirements is often not practical or disrupts the character of existing development that may have existed prior to the development of this UDC. This subsection only applies to the new development, redevelopment, or expansion of EN lots that were existing at the effective date of this UDC. Placement of buildings on new lots subdivided after the effective date shall comply with Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards.
1. Relationship to Variances. Compliance with the standards of this subsection is equivalent to compliance with the standards of Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards, and approvals hereunder are not considered variances. Variances shall not be granted to allow encroachments if the encroachments could be permitted pursuant to the standards of this subsection.
2. Relationship to Servitudes and Rights-of-Way. The standards of this subsection shall not be construed to authorize construction of buildings or portions of buildings in utility or drainage servitude or public rights-of-way.
3. Alternate Setbacks, Generally. Alternate setbacks shall only be allowed if it is demonstrated that the proposed construction:
  1. Does not interfere with planned expansion of right-of-way, and if right-of-way expansion is planned, the application is evaluated as if the right-of-way has been expanded;
  2. Does not result in interference with a utility servitude;
  3. Does not cause more or faster drainage onto abutting properties or rights-of-way than the condition that existed before the proposed construction;
  4. Does not result in a nonconformity with respect to the building code on either the applicant's lot or the abutting property; or
  5. Is built to building code standards (e.g., fire ratings) that would allow construction of the abutting lot to be built to the same standard along the same setback line.
4. New Development, Redevelopment, or Expansion on Existing Lots; Alternate Front Setbacks. On existing lots, a new single-family detached dwelling or manufactured home may be placed or expanded as long as the building meets one of the following:
  1. The building is an allowable building type and it meets the required front setback standard per the applicable as set out in Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards; or
  2. The building is an allowable building type and the placement cannot meet the required front setback standard, but it is demonstrated that the proposed new front setback:
    1. is equal to the front setback of homes on the two lots abutting the lot proposed for development; or
    2. is located within a 10 percent range of the average actual setback of the other homes on the same side of the block.
  3. If these calculations cannot be determined due to there being an insufficient number of existing dwellings on abutting or lots on the same side of the block, then these alternate front setback standards do not apply.
5. New Development, Redevelopment, or Expansion on Existing Lots; All Other Setbacks. On existing lots, all new buildings or expansions shall comply with the applicable setback standards set out in Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards.
Accessory Buildings and Structures. Accessory buildings and structures that were legally permitted on the effective date of this UDC are conforming. New accessory buildings and structures shall meet the meet the minimum standards as set out in Table 1.7.2A, EN Lot Standards, and other applicable sections of this UDC.

Height. Unless otherwise expressly stated, the height limitations of these regulations shall not apply to any of the following:
1. Electrical power transmission lines;
2. Flagpoles, belfries, cupolas, spires, domes, monuments, chimneys, radio/television receiving antennas or chimney flues; or
3. Bulkhead, elevator, water tank, or any other similar structure or necessary mechanical appurtenance extending above the roof of any building where such structure does not occupy more than 33 percent of the area of the roof.
4. Sports lighting facilities owned by or under the control of a governmental entity and utility poles and towers owned by a utility and used for the transmission and distribution of electricity may be erected to any height in any zoning district, unless prohibited by airport height hazard zoning regulations as specified in Division 1.5, Airport Zoning.
Maximum Building Coverage. The portion of a site covered by principal and accessory buildings and structures, as measured from the outside of the building or structure at ground level, shall not exceed the percentage of the net lot area as shown in Table 1.8.1, Nonresidential Lot, Yard, Height, and Coverage Standards, for the district in which the use is located.

Sec. 1.8.3 Compatibility Standards

Building Setback and Height Standards. The following building setback and height standards shall apply to development that is subject to the compatibility standards of this Section:

Building setbacks. On a site with 60 feet of lot width or less, no structure shall be within 20 feet of the lot line of residential property that contains a single-family or two-family dwelling. On a site with more than 60 feet of lot width, the minimum setback from the lot line of property that is zoned residential or that contains a single-family or two-family dwelling shall be 20 feet, plus two additional feet of setback for each 10 additional feet of lot width, or fraction thereof (beyond 60 feet). This Section shall not be interpreted as requiring a setback of more than 30 feet.
Parking and Driveway Setbacks. No off-street parking area or driveway shall be located within 20 feet of the lot line of residentially zoned property or that contains a single-family or two-family dwelling unless the parking and driveway are located on a site that is equal to or less than 120 feet in width. Minimum parking and driveway setbacks for sites with equal to or less than 120 feet of width are established in Table 1.8.3, Compatibility Parking Standards.

Sec. 1.9.1 Traditional Neighborhood Developments (TNDs) Permitted

Mix of Uses. TNDs are mixed-use developments that are allowed to include a wider variety of uses than are otherwise allowed in the zoning district.

Pattern Books. Pattern books are required for TNDs. See Section 5.4.10, Pattern Book Approvals.

Establishment of Subdistricts. TND Plans submitted for approval pursuant to this UDC shall indicate three subdistricts:

Center ("C"), which is the location for the most intense development, including vertically mixed-use (at the applicant’s option), and formal public gathering spaces.
General ("G"), which is the location for most of the housing in the development.
Edge ("E"), which is the location for the least intense development, in the form of relatively large-lot single-family detached residences.

Effective on: 11/1/2013

Sec. 1.9.2 TND Lot and Yard Standards

Minimum Number of Housing Types. Housing types shall be mixed as required by Section 3.3.2, TND Mix of Housing Types.

Subdistricts. The applicant shall designate the boundaries of the subdistricts on a map that is included in the Pattern Book. Patterns shall be provided for each subdistrict.

Modification of Setbacks.

Range of Modification. Setbacks may be modified, or replaced with "build-to" lines, as provided in Table 1.9.2, Reduced Setbacks for TNDs. Setbacks or build-to lines may be established for subdistricts or for individual street segments, and shall be described in the Pattern Book.

1. Criteria for Modification.
  1. Where front setbacks will be less than eight feet, the applicant shall provide drawings in the Pattern Book that show:
    1. How steps giving entry to the homes will be designed;
    2. How a combination of street trees, yard landscaping, and open space configuration and landscaping provide for a streetscape that compensates for the loss of front yard landscape area;
    3. That the reduction in the front yard will be offset by an equivalent increase in the rear yard of the principal building, or the creation of a courtyard or patio on the side of the building that makes up for the loss of the front and rear yard;
    4. That the lot takes access from an alley; and
    5. That the modified front setback will not impact neighboring properties. If the development has lots that front on an existing street with residential development on the other side, then the standards of Division 1.6, Agricultural and Residential District Standards, shall apply to those lots.
  2. Where side setbacks (interior or street) will be modified, the applicant shall demonstrate that:
    1. The buildings will comply with applicable building codes;
    2. There is sufficient spacing to provide for building maintenance and access;
    3. The configuration will not interfere with sight distance requirements; and
    4. With respect to street side yards only, a combination of street trees, yard landscaping, and open space configuration and landscaping will provide for a streetscape that compensates for the loss of front yard landscape area.
  3. Where rear setbacks will be modified, the applicant shall demonstrate that:
    1. The design provides for comparable useable outdoor living space on the lot (e.g., through a larger front yard or a courtyard or patio on the side of the house);
    2. The design will not create an unsafe condition for the passage of vehicles and pedestrians in an abutting alley (if present); and
    3. The design will not interfere with the use and enjoyment of rear or side yards on abutting lots.

Modification of Lot Dimensions. Lot dimensions may be modified if it is demonstrated that:
1. The proposed lot sizes will ensure a diversity of development that is consistent with the intent of the standards of Division 1.6, Agricultural and Residential District Standards;
2. The proposed lot sizes are sufficient to provide light and air to all of the dwelling units in the development;
3. The proposed lot sizes are appropriate to the types of housing that are proposed on the lots;
4. The proposed lot sizes, combined with the permitted building coverage, provide enough room for useable outdoor living space for all single family detached housing types; and
5. The proposed lot sizes provide enough room for utilities and drainage.
Modification of Building Coverage. Building coverage may be modified if lot sizes are reduced, as follows:
1. For all housing types except townhomes (of any type):
  1. The permitted building coverage shall not allow for the complete development of the area bounded by the setback lines on the lot in order to ensure that buildings are not monolithic in appearance (compliance with this standard requires a meaningful articulation of the building); or
  2. The permitted building coverage allows for the complete development of the area bounded by the setback lines on the lot, but another bulk control is used to ensure that the second floor is articulated to avoid the appearance of a monolithic building.
2. For townhomes, the building coverage may be increased to allow for the complete development of the area bounded by the setback lines.

Effective on: 11/1/2013

Sec. 1.9.3 Accessory Buildings and Detached Garages

Generally. Not more than two buildings (in addition to the principal building) shall be permitted on a lot pursuant to this Section. In some cases, only an accessory building may be allowed.

Accessory Buildings.

Accessory buildings that are not detached garages are permitted on all residential lots except through lots, and shall be subject to the standards of Section 1.6.2, Residential Accessory Uses, Buildings, and Structures.
Accessory buildings shall have the same architecture and building materials as principal buildings.

Maximum Ground Floor Area.
1. Center ("C") subdistrict and General ("G") subdistrict: 600 square feet.
2. Edge ("E") subdistrict: 800 square feet.
Maximum Height.
1. 15 feet if used only as a garage;
2. 35 feet if ancillary dwelling unit is constructed above the garage.
Location. Detached garages shall be located behind the principal building or to the side of the principal building. Such garages shall be set back of at least 25 feet more from the front lot line than the facade of the principal building.
Architecture. Detached garages shall be designed to be architecturally comparable to the principal building.

Effective on: 11/1/2013

Sec. 1.9.4 TND Accessory Dwelling Units

Generally. ADUs may be built in new traditional neighborhood developments (TNDs) that are approved after the effective date of this UDC.

Minimum Standards. Development of ADUs in TNDs shall comply with the following standards in addition to other applicable sections of this UDC:

Applicability. Any or all single-family lots that are larger than 6,000 square feet may developed with ADUs, provided that the site plan or plat specifically designates the lots upon which such development may occur, or provides a general statement that ADUs are allowed on all single-family lots in the subdivision.
Pattern Book. In the required pattern book (See Section 5.4.10, Pattern Book Approvals), the applicant shall submit plans showing how the homes will be designed to provide for accessory units. The units may be within the structure, a separate structure, or above a detached garage. Specific design standards shall be provided for each one of the arrangements that are to be permitted.
Compatibility. The Parish Council may place conditions on the designation of lots that abut existing development in order to ensure compatibility. These conditions may include:
1. A limitation on the lots that abut existing development that may be developed with ADUs to those which will have the least impact due to the configuration of lots and natural resources;
2. The designation and installation of a Type B Bufferyard (see Section 3.11.1, Bufferyard Requirements) along the property lines that divide the parcel proposed for development from existing development; or
3. A limitation on the types and designs of ADUs that may be constructed on lots that abut existing development.
Limitations.
1. Not more than one site-constructed ADU shall be constructed on a single-family lot.
2. ADUs shall not have more than one bedroom, nor more than one bathroom.
3. Detached ADUs are not exempt from the maximum footprint provisions set out in Table 1.6.2, Residential Accessory Uses, Buildings, and Structures.
Design Requirements. ADUs may be designed in any of the following ways:
1. ADUs shall comply with the design requirements set out for all ADUs as specified in subsections B.4., B.5., and B.6., of Section 1.4.1, Accessory Dwelling Units.
2. ADUs may be attached to or integrated into the principal building if it is demonstrated that:
  1. The ADU does not have a separate exterior entrance that faces the street.
  2. Modifications to the outside of the principal building that are necessary to accommodate the ADU appear as integrated elements of the principal building in terms of materials, architecture, roof pitch, window styles, and color.
3. ADUs may be located in a separate building or above a detached garage, provided that it meets the standards set out in Section 1.6.2, Residential Accessory Uses, Buildings, and Structures. If the ADU is located in a detached structure that is not a detached garage, it shall be located no closer than 25 feet from the principal dwelling.
