[case Proposed Ordinance 26-01-LC; Agenda Item # 2026-1195] The document is an agenda and meeting minutes packet for the Destin, Florida Local Planning Agency (LPA), covering meetings on August 6, 2026, and August 20, 2026, and the agenda for a September 3, 2026, meeting. The primary subject is the review of Proposed Ordinance 26-01-LC, a rewrite of the City's Land Development Code (LDC), specifically focusing on the new Article 4 (Zoning Districts, Overlays, and On-Site Regulations). The document does not describe a specific development project with a street address, parcel, or size. It details the LPA's review of proposed permitted and conditional uses for various zoning districts (including Bay Estates, Crystal Beach Neighborhood, High Density Residential, Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, Commercial General, Commercial Trade and Services, and Industrial). Key actions taken by the LPA include a motion to remove mobile vending from all residential zoning districts (passed 6-0 on August 6, 2026), a motion to consolidate ADU, guest house, and ECHO housing definitions into a single 'Accessory Dwelling Unit' definition (passed 5-0 on August 20, 2026), and a motion to develop language defining the primary structure and requiring owner occupancy, with a potential waiver process (passed 5-0 on August 20, 2026). The LPA also reached a consensus not to permit direct commercial food-truck sales within residential/HDR zoning districts. The City Council voted on August 3, 2026, to postpone the effective date of the LDC rewrite to the first quarter of 2027. Public comments were made by Mike Abadie (Gilligan's Marina) regarding modernizing parking requirements and by Greg Darden (4531 Gulf Villa, Destin) regarding the LDC's economic impact and building heights.
