H1 Associates Covington rezoning appeals (Highway 1077 corridor)
St. Tammany Parish
Summary
Two appeals of the Zoning Commission's denial of up to ~700 homes between Ronald Reagan Hwy and Hwy 1077 near Covington. The Council overrode both denials after the developer agreed to lower density, bigger buffers, and 200-year storm drainage — but residents fear flooding and traffic on already-stressed roads.
