Thank You For Your Help!
The requested waivers of at least a 50% height waiver (from a maximum of 50 feet to 75 plus feet) and almost a 50% increase in the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) from 2.1 to 3.1. were denied by the City Planning Commission. If these were allowed, the new hotel would be the largest building in the Marigny at almost 93,000 sq. ft., and the tallest building on the entirety of Elysian Fields Avenue, from the Mississippi River to Lake Pontchartrain. This does not mean this will not come back up, so please sign the petition. | As we celebrate 50 Years of Historic Preservation, our own Gene Cizek talks with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Preservation Perspectives Podcast host Monica Rhodes to discuss how volunteerism helped shape the preservation movement here in New Orleans.
