Hazard Mitigation and Land Use Planning in Coastal Louisiana: Recommendations for the Future

Published by at 07:43 under ALL

This project assesses the current state of land use planning authority and practice, as it
pertains to the ability of the state and local governments to respond to their coastal crisis. In addition,
it provides coastal parish and state land use planners with information on legal and policy tools that
allow them to use available powers to achieve public safety goals and to optimize the effectiveness and
value of coastal restoration projects. Where sufficient powers are lacking, the project identifies gaps
and provides information to land use planners, allowing them to promote land use planning as a necessary
element in addressing land loss issues. This project also provides lawmakers with information on land use
planning issues that will assist them in enacting legislation necessary to respond to the requests and
needs of land use planners for greater powers with which to address coastal land loss issues.
