3. Zoning/Land Use/Development Order Background Information

June 15, 2026, Regular City Council Meeting · 2026-06-15 · agenda_item

The City of Destin is reviewing potential changes to the land use entitlements for the State Park property next to Norriego Point Park. Currently, the property is restricted to nonresidential uses only. Because the State purchased the land for conservation and a condominium is unlikely to be built, the city is considering updating the property's entitlements to allow for its maintenance for nonresidential purposes. This review is planned and has been discussed at previous city and county meetings. The process could involve site planning, potential infrastructure assessments, and the development of new land use plans. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider engaging with the city early in this review process. Understanding the project's direction before final plans and permits are established offers an advantage for potential involvement.
