BoardJefferson Parish Development Plan
This document introduces JP Next, an initiative by Jefferson Parish to modernize its land use regulations and Unified Development Code (UDC). The initiative focuses on updating the outdated zoning ordinance from 1958, implementing design standards for improved aesthetics and placemaking, and aligning development rules with existing strategic visions like Envision Jefferson 2040 and Jefferson Edge 2030. The goal is to create a clearer, more predictable code that facilitates well-designed development, attracts investment, increases property values, and enhances the overall quality of life across the parish.
