Owners of La Fiesta Brava restaurant on Pass Road will be asking the Biloxi City Council for permission to add a nightclub to their operation when the council meets Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 at City Hall.
The issue is one of three zoning measures on the council’s agenda. The others are an exception to allow a Mississippi Cottage on a Back Bay parcel and a measure that would allow the addition of a self-service ice vending machine at a Popp’s Ferry Road self-storage facility.
Mayor A.J. Holloway also will be asking the City Council for $6,000 for soccer league funding, and $560 for the Second Liners Mardi Gras club.
