This item concerns a calculation for parking requirements based on retail rates, not restaurant rates, for a project in the City of Destin. The parking was calculated at one space per 300 square feet, while restaurant rates could require one space per 75 to 150 square feet. This matter is currently under review by the City Council. The project would involve a review of parking calculations and potentially a revision of site plans. This could lead to future construction or renovation work. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor this item as it moves through the review process. Early engagement could provide an advantage as plans develop.
