4. REGULAR AGENDA
a. The regular meeting was recessed and a Public Hearing was called to order at 4:33 p.m.
by Mayor Albanese for the purpose of discussing and receiving comments regarding the
request for a Specific Use Permit(SUP) for the property located at 104 South Twin City
Highway (lot 5, Block 15F, Tracts 2 and 17 of PALCO Addition) for a tire repair shop
in a C-2 (neighborhood retail)zoned area.
Chris Duque, City Manager, stated that George Wheeler, Chief Building Official,
interprets a tire repair business as an automobile repair business, which is only
permitted in a C-2 (neighborhood retail) zoning district with a specific use permit
approved by the City Council. In a C-3 zoning district, the SUP is not required. Mr.
Wheeler does not believe the property in its current condition is conducive to
accommodating a tire repair business; however, the applicant (Waleed Khan) stated that
Minutes continued, January 27, 2025
the work of removing the tires from vehicles, etc. could be located under the existing
canopies and that the work could be performed outside behind a wooden fence so not to
be visible. Mr. Wheeler anticipated the owner discussing retrofitting such as work on
the inside and exterior of the structure with bay doors to house vehicle lifts and all tire
repair equipment.
The applicant, Waleed Khan, stated that he has plans to construct a 50x30 addition on
the side of the existing building and everything would be enclosed inside the new
building. The new building would be placed between the current building and the car
wash. He would open the tire business after he builds this additional building.
George Wheeler stated that since this property is commercial, Mr. Khan would not have
to subdivide the property. The City has the option to set conditions for approval of the
specific use permit to be specific for tire repair only
b. A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tern Sonnier and seconded by Councilmember
Guillot to authorize the Jefferson County Mosquito Control District to fly at low

The funding allocation was increased this year by 25%but within the first three months

Molli Hall, Director of Library Services, stated there are approximately four patrons

can utilize. A large percentage of the usage comes from patrons who travel and the
main usage is the audio books. There are currently 347 active users of this service.

approximately $8,000.

the SGR Group in the past when hiring a Finance Director and that process took
approximately 1 1/2 years to complete. Chris Duque stated that executive recruitment has
been very challenging in the last couple of years due to the market. Mayor Pro Tem
Sonnier stated that SGR's projected timeline on hiring a new city manager is very
optimistic and will most probably take longer than estimated. The city is concerned about
the upcoming hurricane season which creates a lot of activities for the city manager and
staff.
