The City of Destin is reviewing proposed changes to permanent sign allowances, specifically focusing on free-standing or "ground signs." These proposed updates would affect various zoning districts, including Residential, Mixed Use, SHMU & NHMU, CG, CTS, IN, INST, A, and REC & CON districts. The review includes regulations for total square footage, maximum individual sign size, and maximum height, which varies by district. This item is currently under review by the Local Planning Agency. The potential project involves updating local ordinances and could lead to new signage construction or modifications across different commercial and non-commercial zones. Businesses involved in signage, including design, fabrication, and installation, may find opportunities as these regulations are finalized. Early engagement with the city or relevant planning departments could provide insight into upcoming needs.
