The Parish of Jefferson is hereby soliciting Statements of Qualifications from firms interested in providing planning services for Jefferson Parish. (Deadline Date: 8/30/18)

The Parish Council, Planning Advisory Board and Planning Director have the authority to call planning studies related to the parish’s physical and economic development or the development standards that implement plans or planning initiatives. These studies generally evaluate the Comprehensive Plan, Unified Development Code, or Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, the key chapters of the Jefferson Parish Code of Ordinances that guide development. Study topics vary greatly and include migration of existing land development standards into a single Unified Development Code, new regulations to address land uses that emerge with changing market conditions, and both small- and large-scale area studies resulting in zoning and future land use map amendments.

In cooperation with the Jefferson Parish Planning Department, the Consultant will conduct research, including data collection, coordinate and facilitate stakeholder participation, and provide analysis and recommendations for plans for the parish’s physical and economic development or studies of the development standards that implement plans or address planning issues. The Consultant will produce drafts of proposed plans or amendments to the Code of Ordinances, meet as needed with Parish staff, and make presentations to the appropriate entities.

A General Professional Services Questionnaire must accompany the statements. Please obtain the latest questionnaire form by contacting the Parish Clerk’s Office by telephone at (504) 364-2626 or on our website at jeffparish.net.
