From Bruce Eggler's piece in today's Times Picayune:
"New Orleans voters narrowly agreed Tuesday to amend the City Charter to give the city's forthcoming master plan the force of law, meaning that all zoning and land-use decisions will have to conform to the plan.
The master plan is supposed to guide the city's development for the next 20 years, creating a framework to promote goals such as economic development, better housing, improved infrastructure and environmental quality.
The City Planning Commission has hired a team of consultants to create the plan, which is expected to be finished by late 2009."
Public meetings are planned for November 8-13th. For more information, click here.
