Board of Adjustment · 2026-06-03 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed development within the Town Center Mixed Use zoning district for use by JP Morgan Chase Bank. The applicant is seeking a variance from the front setback requirements for properties along U.S. Highway 98. Specifically, they are requesting a modification to the rule that mandates a 16-foot minimum to 26-foot maximum setback for building portions under 40 feet in height. This matter is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment, City of Destin, Okaloosa. The project involves a bank development, which would likely require site preparation, construction of a commercial building, and associated utility and finishing work. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in construction, engineering, and related fields may find opportunities by engaging early in the process before final site plans, bids, and permits are established.
