RS 140.26 - Regulation of buildings in bed of mapped streets  For the purpose of preserving the integrity of the official map, the City Council and the Police Jury may provide by general ordinance or other legislative action that no permit shall be issued for any building or structure or part thereof on any land located between the mapped lines of any street as shown on the official map. Any such ordinance or legislative act shall provide that the Board of Appeals, as provided for in this Sub-part, shall have the power, upon an appeal filed with it by the owner of any such land, to authorize the grant of a permit for a building or structure or part thereof within any such mapped street location in any case in which such board finds, upon the evidence and arguments presented to it upon such appeal,  (1) That the property of the appellant of which such mapped street location forms a part will not yield a reasonable return to the owner unless such permit be granted, or  (2) That balancing the interest of the municipality or parish in preserving the integrity of the official map and the interest of the owner in the use and benefits of his property, the grant of such permit is required by considerations of justice and equity.  Before taking any such action, the board of appeals shall hold a hearing thereon, at least ten days notice of the time and place of which shall be given to the appellant by mail at the address specified by the appellant in his appeal petition. In the event that the board of appeals decides to authorize a building permit, it shall have the power to specify the exact location, ground area, height, and other details and conditions of extent and character, and also the duration of the building, structure or part thereof to be permitted. NOTE: §140.26 as amended by Acts 2020, No. 294, eff. Jan. 1, 2022. RS 140.26 - The zoning plan  If the commission recommends to the city council a zoning plan, including both the full text of a zoning ordinance and the map or maps, representing the recommendations of the commission for the regulation by districts or zones of the location, height, bulk, number of stories, and size of buildings and other structures, the percentage of the lot which may be occupied, the size of yards, courts and other open spaces, the density of population, and the uses of buildings, structures, and land for trade, industry, residence, recreation, civic activities, and other purposes, then the city council may exercise the powers granted for the purpose mentioned in R.S. 33:140.25 and may divide the municipality into districts or zones of such number, shape, and area as it may determine, and, for such purposes, may regulate the erection, construction, reconstruction, conversion, alteration, and uses of buildings and structures and the uses of land. All such regulations shall be uniform for each class or kind of building throughout each district, but the regulations in one district may differ from those in other districts.
