It looks like New Orleans is finally starting to enforce short-term rental rules - in gambit.

Since New Orleans nearly tripled the number of inspectors on the job and first began using STR tracking software Granicus in September, the city has identified at least “2,500 non-compliant listings, and approximately 1,741 of those listings are for exceeding the maximum capacity requirement,” said John Lawson, a spokesperson for Mayor LaToya Cantrell.

City Planning Commission to Assess Expansion of University Area Off-Street Parking IZD

The Council passed Motion M-22-449 authored by Councilmembers Giarrusso and Harris, directing the CPC to conduct a public hearing to consider amending the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (CZO) in order to re-establish and expand the boundaries of the University Area Off-Street Parking Interim Zoning District (IZD), which would require off-street vehicular parking for any increase in the number of existing bedrooms within the boundaries of the IZD.

For years, single and double-family homes in the university area Uptown have been purchased by developers and then converted into large scale, multi-bedroom housing that is designed solely for students. These “doubles to dorms” are then rented out by the bedroom, decreasing the overall affordability of the neighborhood. Today, the Council unanimously supported this IZD to help stem the tide of D2Ds.

The University Area Off-Street Parking IZD requires one off-street parking space for every new bedroom. It only applies to new construction and renovation projects within its boundaries. This IZD will serve as a temporary stopgap as the Council works together to amend the current University Area Off-Street Parking Overlay.

“These developments are not affordable and are pushing out renters who can’t afford to pay $1,500 per month per bedroom,” said District A Councilmember Joe Giarrusso. “I’m thankful to the neighbors, the universities, and my colleagues for supporting this IZD.”
