Sulphur council approves multiple ordinances: rezone for warehouse, solicitation code changes and GIS mapping CEA
Summary
At its Oct. 14 meeting the council approved a rezone to allow a stone warehouse, amended multiple solicitation-related code sections, and approved a cooperative endeavor agreement with the parish for GIS mapping.
The Sulphur City Council took several near-routine ordinance actions, approving a rezone for a warehouse, passage of multiple amendments related to solicitation and itinerant vendors, and authorizing a cooperative endeavor agreement with Calcasieu Parish for GIS mapping.
Rezone for KAB Investments LLC: The council approved an ordinance to rezone 201 Dorian Street from mixed residential to business to allow a stone warehouse for KAB Investments LLC (ordinance referenced as 72-25 on the agenda). Christian Bastine, representing the applicant, described the proposal as a warehouse that would store stone materials for local residential work: “There's gonna be stone in this warehouse. We're gonna be getting from Colorado, to provide in house for our residential homes,” Bastine said. The motion carried on roll call.
Solicitation and itinerant vendor code changes: The council approved amendments to Chapter 13.5 addressing itinerant solicitors and related registration requirements (agenda items referenced in the meeting as ordinances numbered in the 73–75 range). One amendment added language to prohibit placing handbills in or on vehicles located on private property. City staff read the redlined language and the council approved the ordinance changes by roll call.
GIS mapping cooperative endeavor agreement: The council approved a CEA with the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury to perform or support GIS (geographical information systems) mapping for the city, with payment recorded at $45,500 and a term shown expiring 11/30/2029. Cindy Robertson asked whether the project would correct incorrect addresses appearing on maps and assessor records; staff confirmed the CEA was intended to help resolve mapping inaccuracies.
