NEW ORLEANS — The proposal that would have allowed French Quarter homes and businesses to make changes without the normal approval process will be delayed for the time being, City Councilman Freddie King told WWL Radio Monday.
The possibility of a year without oversight had upset preservation groups.
King had proposed a one-year exemption to rules to buildings in the Quarter.
King told WWL Radio that he would not bring the proposal up for a vote at Thursday’s council meeting, he will now try to build support for the legislation that could streamline the rules to make it easier for businesses and residents to make changes.
