Published agenda to date; updates will be made as they become available.
- Corridor Overlay Zone (COZ) The purpose of the Corridor Overlay Zone (COZ) is to revitalize transportation corridors for the citizens of St. Charles Parish by superimposing an overlay zone with standards for facade, landscaping and buffering, signs and other design elements to improve appearance, function, safety and resilience. These design elements are intended to reduce the amount of paved surface, increase landscaping to beautify the corridor, guide traffic, minimize the impact of development on the parish drainage system, provide buffers to neighboring residences, upgrade the façade of commercial structures, reduce sign clutter, and coordinate signage with green space. The COZ requirements are triggered by new construction and major renovation or additions.
