FORT BRAGG, 12/22/20 —The Fort Bragg Planning Commission held a special meeting on Dec. 17, to review the next round of draft recommendations for a potential city ordinance that would establish regulations for “formula businesses,” establishments that might colloquially be referred to as a “chain stores.” However,the commission took no action on further work on the ordinance. Though the commission had a quorum to proceed, upon convening they found that two of their members had termed-out and are now waiting for the two commissioner seats that termed out to be filled. A review of legislative findings pertaining to the ordinance were also on the agenda.
