Commercial short-term rental permits
The council split on commercial STRs: denying a Julia Street request while approving two Chef Menteur Highway sites and a Marigny STR over one dissent. Each decision shapes hotel-style use in residential and commercial corridors.
Data center regulation in New Orleans
The city is deciding how — or whether — to let data centers operate here. The staff plan would ban huge hyperscale facilities citywide, allow small and medium ones conditionally in industrial and some commercial districts, and keep them 500 feet from homes. Residents pushed hard for more time and stronger rules, and the commission agreed to wait.
Affordable housing definition for community land trusts
