Zoning Docket 078/26 — First Emanuel Baptist Church parking lot
New Orleans
Description
Rezones a long-informal church parking lot to mixed-use for a 47-49 space paved lot serving the Warbler Hotel, with a landscape-buffer waiver.
Impact summary
Formalizes two decades of informal parking; Commissioner Steeg warned it creates a standalone lot the hotel doesn't need, and a speaker urged permeable paving for stormwater.
