Shirley Drive subdivision and on-street parking
New Orleans
Summary
A first-time developer's plan to split a 57-foot lot into two narrow lots passed 5-1, but only with a proviso requiring a plan that cuts curb cuts or maximizes on-street parking — board members were worried about a well-parked street losing spaces.

Impact analysis
The applicant framed the project as building affordable, generational-wealth housing in a high-insurance-cost city.
The developer gains two buildable lots; future buyers get new single-family homes.
Nearby residents could lose on-street parking spaces if the driveways are laid out poorly.
