Staff Directory

Land Development planners focus on current planning matters where they review site plans, subdivision plats, rezonings, zoning map amendments and text amendments to the zoning ordinance, and other applications related to the zoning code, guide applicants through the development process, and write staff reports advising the MPC Board and ZBA.

The Community Planning and Design Department updates and amends all Community Plans within the MPC's Planning Limits for neighborhoods, corridors, and other smaller study areas within them. Community planning in Shreveport-Caddo is a collaborative process, involving MPC staff working with community stakeholders to develop the community and small area plans. This process seeks to balance the often competing needs of a wide variety of stakeholders to arrive at a common community vision, and then to apply sound planning principles to develop plans that foster sustainable community development and preservation.
