review_type | require | tif_district_plan_consistency | Projects within an established Economic Development District (EDD) or Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district may receive incremental sales/ad-valorem TIF revenue. State Bond Commission approval required for bonded TIFs. Local zoning continues to apply; the TIF is a financing overlay, not a use overlay. |

Research notes
TIF/EDD overlays are widespread in New Orleans (downtown TIFs, the Lafitte Greenway, Lower Mid-City), Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Lafayette, and Lake Charles. Tracked at state level because the enabling chapter is state statute, but the binding force is the local ordinance that creates the district. Not a zoning preemption per se — included because TIF boundaries frequently align with — and often catalyze — zoning rewrites and overlay districts.
