Bryant Dixon - Zachary Planning & Zoning Director

Ever wonder why you can’t turn your backyard into a coin operated laundry or how to subdivide that family tract into the next great neighborhood development?

When planning and zoning becomes a necessity, there is usually some economic reward at stake and things can get contentious. Whatever side of the decision you are on, our Planning & Zoning department is our first line of defense against “un–smart” growth. P&Z is responsible for maintaining the character of the city the way the majority believes it should be upheld. What I’ve learned is that when something gets denied, it has to be uncharacteristically bad for the city, like a daiquiri shop next to a church childcare facility. Even still, when something gets approved, it is not unlikely that there won’t be sour feelings after the gavel drops. That’s business folks, and we’re going to explore further.

We’re explaining the why and the how with City of Zachary’s own Planning & Zoning director, and we’re going to meet an incredibly even-keeled professional. I’ll attest that we are lucky to have him. Steven Villavaso of Villavaso and Associates, responsible for configuring our Unified Development Code said that Dixon is an absolute rockstar. Let’s get to know him, as he is here in person with us in the booth. You can usually find him in his element on Tuesday nights at Planning, Zoning, and council meetings.

Bryant Dixon has worked in the Urban Planning profession for over 8 years and specializes in zoning/land use planning, economic development, green infrastructure, and stormwater management. Before joining the City of Zachary, Bryant worked as a Sr. City Planner in the Environmental Affairs Department with the Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans (SWBNO). Bryant has also worked as an Economic Development Analyst for Camoin Associates, an independent economic development firm in Saratoga Springs, New York, and a Sr. Planner with the Baton Rouge City-Parish Planning Commission. Bryant is a graduate of Louisiana State University. There he received a B.A. in Anthropology with a concentration in Socio-cultural Anthropology and a second B.A. in Sociology with a concentration in Criminology. He received his Master’s in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of New Orleans in 2014 where he specialized in Housing and Community Economic Development. Bryant is also currently a board member on The Water Collaborative of Greater New Orleans. And now he works right here in the Z.
