§ 170-161. Management Unit V: Viavant.

The Viavant Management Unit is bounded by Florida Avenue and Bayou Bienvenue on the south, the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet on the north, and Paris Road on the east. Due to significant modification, this unit has been designated as a transitional area.

(1)

Goal: To provide, where appropriate, land in Viavant as an industrial development reserve to meet long-range industrial needs.

(2)

Objectives:

a.

To resist the extension of public facilities into the area until other available industrial land is absorbed, except in unusual circumstances.

b.

Support efforts of the board of commissioners of the Port of New Orleans and the coastal management section, department of natural resources to establish a Port of New Orleans Special Area, to include Viavant, which would allow the necessary expansion of the Port of New Orleans and port-related industry without causing undue deterioration to the coastal zone.

(3)

Policies: To require coastal use permits in conformance with the LCRP for any activities which will result in modifications to coastal wetlands, until such time as this area is placed under special management.
