The City of Panama City Commission is considering a proposal to regulate land and water use within the Glenwood Neighborhood Planning Area. This initiative aims to ensure compatible adjacent land uses by establishing specific and detailed requirements. These requirements will include maintaining an official land use map, defining land use districts and allowable uses, and setting environmental protection and development standards. The proposal also seeks to reduce nuisances from incompatible land uses and provide for the elimination of nonconforming uses. This item is currently under review by the City Commission. The project would involve updating land use regulations and potentially establishing new zoning districts, which could lead to future development opportunities. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as planning, engineering, and legal services may find opportunities as these regulations are developed and implemented. Early engagement could provide insight into future development needs.
