PARISH PLANNING DIRECTOR TO EXPLAIN COMPREHENSIVE REZONING OF ST. TAMMANY PARISH AT TAMMANY TOGETHER QUARTERLY MEMBERSHIP MEETING

The next quarterly General Membership Meeting of Tammany Together will be held on Monday, January 28, 2008. Parish Director of Planning Sidney Fontenot will make a presentation on the parish’s comprehensive rezoning process at this meeting. Mr. Fontenot will discuss the new Unified Development Code, explain how the new code differs from the zoning code presently in effect, and how it will be applied across the parish. It is important that the citizens of St. Tammany understand this process so that they can be prepared to participate in this very important task. The public is invited to attend, so please plan to attend and invite anyone who might be interested.

The meeting will be held at the North Shore Unitarian Universalist church located at 28662 Krentel Road, just north of the intersection of I-12 and Highway 434 in Lacombe. Doors will open at 6:00 PM, and the meeting will begin at 6:30 PM. A map showing the location of the meeting is available at http://www.tammanytogether.org/files/NSUUC.jpg .
