AN ORDINANCE establishing the comprehensive zoning regulations for the City of Slidell,
Louisiana, and providing for the administration, enforcement and amendment thereof,
in accordance with the provisions of the authority granted by R.S. 33:4721—33:4729,
as amended.
ADOPTION
WHEREAS the city council deems it necessary for the purpose of promoting the health,
safety, morals, or general welfare of the city to enact such an ordinance; and the
city council has appointed a zoning commission to recommend the boundaries of the
various original districts and appropriate regulations to be enforced therein. The
zoning commission has divided the city into districts and has prepared regulations
pertaining to such districts in accordance with a comprehensive plan designed to lessen
congestion in the streets; to prevent overcrowding of land; to secure safety from
fire, panic, and provide adequate light and air; to avoid undue concentration of population;
to facilitate the adequate provisions of transportation, water, sewerage, schools,
parks, and other public requirements.
The zoning commission has given reasonable consideration, among other things, to the
character of the districts and their peculiar suitability for particular uses, with
a view to conserving the value of buildings and encouraging the most appropriate use
of land throughout the city. The zoning commission has made a preliminary report and
held public hearings thereon and submitted its final report to the city council. The
council has given due public notice of hearings relating to zoning districts, regulations,
and restrictions.
All requirements of R.S. 33:4721—33:4729 with regard to the preparation of the report
of the zoning commission and the subsequent action of the city council have been met.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT ENACTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF SLIDELL, LOUISIANA, AS AN ORDINANCE:
