Manual for Costal Development
The Center for Planning Excellence (CPEX) is soliciting proposal submissions from professional engineering and planning consultants to create a Best Practice Manual for Coastal Development in Louisiana. After the hurricanes of 2005, the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) created a Master Plan, titled Integrated Ecosystem Restoration and Hurricane Protection: Louisianas Comprehensive Master Plan for a Sustainable Coast. In support of the goals outlined in the Master Plan, CPEX is assisting in the development of coast-wide model land development regulations that promote sustainable growth patterns. In order to draft the model land development regulations, it is necessary to understand the existing coastal conditions and best practices from other communities that live in coastal areas.
