2. The maximum building footprint per building shall be 10,000 square feet. An exception is made

City Commission Meetings · 2026-04-28 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed change to building regulations for the City of Panama City. The proposal would set a maximum building footprint of 10,000 square feet for new construction. However, exceptions are planned for civic uses like houses of worship and schools. Existing buildings and grocery stores could also be allowed to exceed this limit if approved by the development services director. This matter is currently under review by the City Commission. If approved, this could lead to future construction projects requiring site preparation, grading, utility work, and building construction. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as general contracting, site work, concrete, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing may find opportunities. Reaching out to the city or developers early in the review process could provide an advantage before specific plans and bids are finalized.
