New Orleans Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance

Printed: 4/19/2024 12:20:19 AM

16.2 Uses

Only those uses of land listed under Table 16-1: Permitted and Conditional Uses as permitted uses or conditional uses are allowed within the Centers for Industry. A “P” indicates that a use is permitted within that zoning district. A “C” indicates that a use is a conditional use in that zoning district and would require a conditional use approval as required in Section 4.3 (Conditional Use). No letter (i.e., a blank space) or the absence of the use from the table indicates that use is not permitted within that zoning district. Section 16.4 provides additional permitted uses within the MI Maritime Industrial District Commercial and Recreational Sub-District, which are subject to additional design standards.
