May 21, 2026 Local Planning Agency Meeting · 2026-05-21 · agenda_item

The City of Destin is reviewing proposed updates to Article 8, which covers sign regulations. These drafts have been available for public review since April 2024 and have undergone multiple revisions by city staff, other departments, the city's land use attorney, and have been discussed at previous Local Planning Agency (LPA) meetings. The proposed Article 8 aims to balance public safety and community needs with those of businesses and property owners by setting standards for sign placement, size, height, lighting, and design. This review process is currently under consideration, with the next discussion planned for the May 21, 2026, Local Planning Agency Meeting. If approved, these changes could lead to new requirements for signage, potentially involving site preparation, installation, and material supply. Businesses involved in signage, design, and installation may find opportunities as these regulations are finalized and implemented.
