At its June 24, 2025, meeting, the City Council considered the above items. Following the staff report presentation and close of the public hearing, a motion was made to adopt the first action, i.e., a resolution approving the General Plan Amendment. That motion died for lack of second, stopping the remaining actions. The applicant reported the Council’s action to the State Department of Housing and Community Development. HCD recommended that the Biggs City Council consider agendizing the same project actions again and reach a decision of approval or denial with findings.
