The Biloxi Planning Commission will meet Thursday, 19 November 2026, at 2:00 p.m. in the Community Development Auditorium at 676 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Three proposals are scheduled for public hearings, including the controversial Claiborne Point Apartments development in Ward 1. The developers are seeking approval of a Planned Development–Infill District (PD-I) Master Plan covering approximately five acres and 15 properties surrounding Claiborne Street, where 200 apartments are proposed.
Two additional proposals are on the agenda. In Ward 3, Hemphill Towers is requesting conditional use approval to construct a freestanding telecommunications tower on Biloxi School District property at Popp's Ferry Elementary School, along Agincourt Avenue. In Ward 2, Marcella Broussard is seeking conditional use approval to operate two existing single-family residences at 238 A & B Porter Avenue as short-term rentals.
All three proposals are subject to public hearings, and residents will have an opportunity to voice their support or opposition before the Planning Commission.
