St. Tammany Parish Planning Meeting October 13, 2026

The St. Tammany Parish Planning and Zoning Commission met on October 13, 2026. No procurement, contract awards, or purchasing decisions were identified. The commission approved an amendment to the Unified Development Code regulating fill and grading in major subdivisions, including limits on elevation changes and zero-net-fill requirements in specified flood-prone areas. The amendment passed without a text change after staff clarified the data used in the proposal. The commission also approved a request to install a sculpture in the Oak Harbor Boulevard roundabout right-of-way and approved revocation of an unopened portion of Walnut Street, several minor subdivisions (some with waivers), and a subdivision’s final plat and construction plans subject to staff comments.

Several development matters were postponed: the Oak Harbor PUD amendment and the Breezes at Oak Harbor subdivision for two months, and a resubdivision request for one month while related zoning appeals and community discussions continue. The commission denied concept plan approval for the Bieco Creek subdivision plan and the Village of Beaufaire’s proposed 100-unit townhouse development; concerns included plan consistency, traffic and emergency access, drainage and flooding, and compatibility with surrounding development. The meeting’s code amendment and land-development actions establish or apply requirements relevant to future construction, but no spending allocation or procurement action was reported.
