New Orleans Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance

Printed: 5/14/2026 12:25:13 AM

4.3.E Conditions

1.  The City Planning Commission may recommend and the City Council may impose such conditions and restrictions upon the establishment, location, design, construction, maintenance, and operation of the conditional use as deemed necessary for the protection of the public health, safety, and welfare.

2.  When the application for a conditional use does not fully demonstrate compliance with all general zoning requirements but the City Planning Commission wishes to make clear to the applicant that such compliance will be necessary in order to approve the site plan and associated permits, these conditions may be included as 'Approval Conditions.' These conditions may restate the zoning ordinance without modification and will be deemed to automatically update if the underlying ordinance provision is amended before final approval and permitting.

3.  The applicant shall record the signed development plan in the Office of the Clerk of the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans within thirty (30) days of the date of final approval and shall submit evidence of such recordation to the Executive Director of the City Planning Commission. If the applicant fails to record the signed development plan within this period, the ordinance approving the conditional use is deemed null. No permits or licenses for the conditional use may be issued until the development plan has been recorded and evidence of the recording has been provided to the Executive Director of the City Planning Commission. The City Planning Commission shall maintain a record of such approved conditional uses, the development plans, and any conditions attached thereto.

4.  The City Council may grant a waiver from specific zoning standards otherwise applicable to the use by this Ordinance to secure the general objectives of this section, provided however that any such shall be based on a finding that the case meets the approval standards of Section 4.6.F. However, the City Council cannot waive or modify any approval standards of this section or any other section for which variances may not be granted under the terms of this Ordinance. Any waiver which was not considered by the City Planning Commission must be included in the motion directing the preparation of an ordinance described in 4.3.D.4.a.
