During a recent government meeting, the Caddo Parish Commission held a public hearing regarding Ordinance 6425 of 2024, aimed at amending the Unified Development Code to address short-term rental properties. However, the hearing drew little public interest, with no attendees voicing support or opposition before the session was closed.

Following this, the Commission moved to consider the final passage of Ordinance 6417. Commissioner Gregory Young proposed a motion to reject the zoning change associated with this ordinance, which was seconded by Commissioner Epperson. The motion to deny the zoning amendment is now open for discussion among the commissioners.

The lack of public engagement in the hearing on Ordinance 6425 raises questions about community awareness and interest in local zoning issues, while the rejection motion for Ordinance 6417 indicates ongoing debates surrounding zoning regulations in the parish. Further discussions among the commissioners are expected as they deliberate on the implications of these ordinances.
