St. Tammany Parish Zoning Commission Meeting : May 11, 2026

The St. Tammany Parish Zoning Commission held a meeting on May 11, 2026, to consider multiple zoning and land use cases affecting various parcels within the parish. Key procurement-related discussions included several zoning amendment requests for residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments. Notably, a major amendment to the Bedico Creek Preserve PUD was discussed, with the petitioner proposing relocation of residential lots to a less visible area, which was ultimately denied by the commission due to concerns about consistency with the original PUD and conservation area preservation. Other cases involved rezoning parcels for large lot residential use, manufactured housing overlays, and commercial zoning changes, with some motions to approve and others to deny based on environmental, infrastructure, and community impact considerations. The commission also reviewed a regional business center overlay proposal for a 125-acre site, addressing buffer zones, tree preservation, and development flexibility, with staff and petitioner discussing mitigation and landscaping requirements. Motions were taken on all cases, with votes recorded to approve or deny zoning changes. The meeting included public comments expressing support and opposition, focusing on environmental impacts, traffic, flooding, and neighborhood compatibility. Overall, the meeting centered on land use planning and zoning decisions that will influence future development and procurement opportunities in St. Tammany Parish.
