This document is an agenda item for the Destin City Council meeting on April 13, 2026, concerning a Development Order Compliance Review for Harborwalk Village Phase II. The applicant, Legendary, LLC on behalf of Pelican Point Harbor, LLC, is seeking a determination of compliance with existing Development Orders (DO-10-02) as an alternative to a Major Development Order amendment. The proposed project includes 32,899 square feet of retail space, 86 condominiums, and 254 hotel rooms, along with infrastructure and a parking garage. Staff has identified several potential deviations from the original Development Order, including changes in building height (proposed 106.75' vs. authorized 100'), setbacks (portions extending outside the 'Restricted Zone'), ingress/egress modifications (retaining a right-out exit onto Highway 98 instead of a shared drive), and potential changes in land use. The document outlines criteria for Major and Minor Deviations and presents two alternative motions for the Council: one to determine compliance and allow a Minor Deviation review, and another to determine non-compliance, requiring a Major Deviation review. Public comment is scheduled but not detailed in this agenda item text.
