Four zoning cases – three in west Biloxi and one in east Biloxi – and the purchase of more than $200,000 in equipment and vehicles are among the issues on the agenda for the City Council meeting Tuesday at 1:30 p.m.
And only weeks after Mardi Gras, Mayor A.J. Holloway will present a proclamation to the Hibernia Marching Society of Mississippi proclaiming March as “Irish Heritage Month.”
The zoning cases include the approval of zoning to allow three apartments at 521 Howard Ave.; the renovation and reconfiguration of an existing car wash on Pass Road, owned by Wall Enterprises; variances for a fast-food restaurant and retail sales outlet at Shoppes at Popp’s Ferry West; and approval of a commercial subdivision plat that would reduce the number of plotted lots from 16 to 10 in the Petit Bois subdivision.
The agenda also includes measures that would approve the purchase of replacement heavy equipment in the Public Works Department and vehicles in the Port Division of the Administration Department.
