Starting March 1, 2017, The Uptown an Carrollton Neighborhoods will transition from being members of the Neighborhood Conservation District Advisory Committee to becoming members of the New Orleans Historic District Landmarks Commission. The transition will help streamline the process for demolition, according to the Mayor’s Office.
While the properties in both the Uptown and Carrollton neighborhood, two strips of the neighborhood will be under “full control,” noted as the purple and gold sections on the map.
- Properties on St. Charles Avenue between Jena Street and South Carrollton.
- And properties on South Carrolton between Leake Avenue and Earhart Boulevard.

Historical places and structures under “full control” must consult the Historic District Landmarks Commission for any alteration to the exterior of the property.
All other areas of the two districts are under partial control, which means consultation is only necessary for demolitions.
Other approved Local Historic Districts in 2017 include:
- Mid-City
- Parkview
