GATEWAY NEIGHBORHOODS PLAN

The Gateway Neighborhoods Plan is a six-month community engagement process that will develop a comprehensive neighborhood plan for the Oasis Coterie and Quiet Town Coterie. These two coteries sit at the intersection of I-49 and I-10 encountering the most of transportation activity than any other coterie. A neighborhood plan is needed for these coteries to translate community desire of the built environment and nodal activity to land use and development strategies and tactics. The Planning Commission and City-Parish Council endorsed Plan Lafayette (Lafayette 2035) in Summer 2014. Lafayette Consolidated Government’s Comprehensive Plan sets out actions across ten elements (land use, community character, housing & neighborhoods, historical & cultural resources, economic development, transportation & mobility, utilities, community facilities & services, recreation & open space, and resource conservation & hazard mitigation). The Gateway Neighborhoods Plan will provide current conditions, neighborhood vision, and specific outcomes to strive, delivering an implementation document that substantially carries Plan Lafayette elements into the Oasis Coterie and Quiet Town Coterie.
