Commission queries why Brian Briggs rezoning was delayed at council

Commissioners reviewed Old Business A: an application by Brian Briggs to rezone about 6.2 acres between Mill Street and the Union Pacific Railroad (legal description given in the record) for a restaurant with a special exception to sell alcohol.

The chair asked why the application had been "delayed" by the city council rather than removed from the agenda. City staff replied that the prior council motion used the word "delayed," but did not provide further explanation during the meeting. Commissioners requested clarification about the status; no further action was taken and the item remained deferred.

The record includes a detailed property description referencing Section 77, Township 9 North Range 7 West and a conveyance reference (book 195 folio 4 of the records of Dangers Parish, Louisiana) as read into the minutes by the chair. The commission did not vote on the Briggs application at this meeting.

Next steps: staff or the applicant would need to clarify the council's action before the commission could act further on the rezoning request.
