St. Tammany Parish Planning Meeting August 11, 2026

The St. Tammany Parish Planning Commission held a meeting on August 11, 2026, primarily focused on zoning cases, subdivision approvals, and concept plan reviews for various residential developments within the parish. Several items, including major amendments and minor subdivisions, were discussed with motions to postpone or approve based on staff recommendations and public input. A significant portion of the meeting was devoted to the concept plan for the Beako Creek subdivision, where concerns were raised by residents about increased density, drainage, ingress and egress, and preservation of green space and amenities. The commission debated the applicability of current Unified Development Code (UDC) requirements to the subdivision's major amendment and ultimately voted to postpone the Beako Creek concept plan for one month to allow the developer to address staff comments, consider a second ingress/egress, and reallocate green space to better preserve community amenities. Other agenda items included approvals of minor subdivisions and right-of-way access requests, with motions passed accordingly. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting.
