MINUTES OF AUGUST 24, 2026 HPC meeting HPC 26-012 LAKE CHARLES ZONING ORDINANCE CO. 10598 APPLICANT: MAYRA AVILA SUBJECT: 731 KIRBY LANE Applicant is requesting to appeal the denial by planning staff of a minor conditional use permit to establish a short-term rental for the multi-family structure (four-plex) located at 731 Kirby St regulated by Ordinance 19433, effective 12-7-2022. STAFF FINDINGS: The on-site and site plan reviews revealed that the applicant is requesting to establish a short-term rental in a Neighborhood Zoning District. It is the intent of the City, through ordinance 19433, to allow the Short-Term Rental of dwellings within the corporate limits of the City of Lake Charles and to establish minimum standards for their use while also minimizing the incompatibility with the surrounding residential areas. These standards provide additional protection for the substantial investment, both of private and public, being made while promoting a mix of lodging options that support the Citys tourism base and local economy, and upholding the health, safety and welfare of the public. Ordinance 20431 requires the issuance of a Minor Conditional Use approval in order to establish a Short Term Rental within Residential and Neighborhood Zoning Districts. Additionally ordinance 20499 established that no short term Rentals will be permitted within 1,000 feet of an existing lawfully permitted Short-Term Rental. Staffs review found evidence of an existing Short-Term rental within 1000 feet of the proposed property at 1020 Kirkman Street, therefore staff denied this application.

August 24, 2026 The City Council of the City of Sulphur, Louisiana, met in special session at its temporary location located at 501 Willow Avenue in the Council Chambers, Sulphur, Louisiana, on August 24, 2026, immediately following the two special meetings with the first meeting starting at 5:30 p.m. after full compliance with the convening of said meeting with the following members present: JAMES LEDOUX, Council Representative of District 1 TROY DARBY, Council Representative of District 2 DANIELLE MONCEAUX, Council Representative of District 3 JOSH BADEN, Council Representative of District 4 DANNY DIPETTA, Council Representative of District 5 After the meeting was called to order and the roll called with the above result, prayer and pledge was led by Mr. Baden. The only item on the agenda is a resolution requesting an opinion from the Attorney General related to potential violations of public bid law by City of Sulphur, Louisiana. Mr. Baden read his letter to the Attorney General. Mr. DiPetta stated that he doesnt think just an opinion is needed. He thinks an investigation should be done first. Mr. DiPetta asked Mr. Baden what was the intent of the letter? Brandon Dever is only a tenant of 501 Willow. He feels its a personal campaign against Mr. Dever. Mr. Baden then stated that no one on the Council has asked him to review all the public records request that he had to send to the Attorney General. Why is that? He also stated that in order to be reimbursed by FEMA it has to be an immovable building. Mayor Stutes stated that the information has already been sent to the Legislative Auditor. The District Attorneys office is on notice until the Legislative Auditor is done. If there are findings then itll be sent to the District Attorneys office, and it will be brought before the Council. This information was also given to another Auditor weeks ago for a non-biased outlook. Mr. Loftin stated that the District Attorneys office only accepts charges from the Legislative Auditors office. Mr. DiPetta stated that there are 3 investigations on the same issue. Mr. Baden stated that he wanted to send his information to the Attorney Generals office so the public doesnt have to pay for the investigation. Hes also sending information to the Ethics Board. Mayor Stutes stated that they should let the Legislative Auditor do their part first. Fire Chief, Rusty Naquin, asked if the Legislative Auditor has no findings, then what? Mr. Baden stated, then itll be over and the city can move forward. Mr. DiPetta stated that hes not signing this document since its one-sided and its naming people and accusing them of things. Mrs. Monceaux stated that only one paragraph is accusing Mr. Dever of doing wrong. Mr. Loftin stated that the letter can be amended to take Mr. Devers name out. Bill LeBlanc addressed the Council and stated that Sulphur is the laughing stock of this area and it cant continue like this. Its embarrassing. If someone did wrong, admit it and move on. Wendy Wingate stated that City Council shouldnt be in charge of the investigation. Is the Council here to fix the problem or protect friends. The bid law was clearly violated. In 2024 the Council had a special meeting to correct the date on a contract and theyve been covering up for years. She also suggested that the Council bring back former Cade Cole and ask if were getting 90% from FEMA since thats what he said in a prior meeting. Motion was then made by Mr. Darby seconded by Mr. LeDoux that 3 extra minutes be given to Ms. Wingate. Motion carried unanimously. Ms. Wingate then stated that when City Court donated $100,000 to fund the project that becomes public money. You cant split up projects to get what you want. Sheila Broussard addressed the Council and stated that a multi-prong approach isnt a bad thing. The Attorney Generals office takes a very long time. She also stated that if names are in the documents that shouldnt sway the AGs opinion on findings. Its disheartening for the Council to say they wont put their name on this resolution. Did the Mayor send the Legislative Auditor all of Joshs information that was in his letter? A vote was then made by Mr. Darby seconded by Mr. LeDoux that Mrs. Broussard get 3 additional minutes to speak. Motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Broussard then stated that there cant be too many request sent to the AGs office. The more request the better. Mike Granger addressed the Council and stated that no names should be mentioned in any of the letters, only mention their job title. Lena McArthur asked wheres the integrity of the city? Do one investigation, not 3 and dont do any name calling. Motion was then made by Mr. Darby seconded by Mrs. Monceaux that the following resolution be adopted to-wit: RESOLUTION NO. 3710, M-C SERIES RESOLUTION REQUESTING AN OPINION FROM THE ATTORNEY GENERAL RELATED TO POTENTIAL VIOLATIONS OF PUBLIC BID LAW BY CITY OF SULPHUR, LOUISIANA.

This will carry us over through the first of the year until a new Director is hired. Mr. Darby stated that this shouldnt mess up Reads retirement. Mr. DiPetta asked if these 2 employees on the agenda meet the Home Rule Charter and qualification requirements of the personnel policies. Mayor Stutes stated that they do qualify since they are currently employed by the city. Mr. DiPetta stated that he just wanted to make sure that they meet all the qualifications. Mayor Stutes stated that they did. Mr. Darby asked if this normally comes before Council. Mr. Loftin, City Attorney, stated that the Home Rule Charter doesnt require this since it doesnt speak on Interim Department Heads. When the Mayor appoints a permanent Director, that person will need to be voted on by the Council.
