About

The Shreveport-Caddo Metropolitan Planning Commission, also known as the MPC, is the official planning agency for the City of Shreveport and the immediate environs of Caddo Parish—a jurisdictional boundary known as the Planning Limits. 

Established in 1954 by Act 34 of the Louisiana Legislature, it is responsible for comprehensive planning and administration of zoning and land subdivision regulations, and processes several different types of land-use applications including rezoning, site plans, variances, special use permits, and planned unit developments—as well as a host of other development-related applications such as sign permits, certificates of occupancy, home-based business license, food truck and trailer permits, and short-term rentals.

 Funding for the Shreveport-Caddo Metropolitan Planning Commission\’s activities comes primarily from city and parish appropriations.
