This item concerns proposed changes to parking setback requirements within the City of Panama City. The current proposal suggests that parking areas must be set back 25 feet from public rights-of-way, unless the location is an alley. However, this setback could be reduced to eight feet if the parking is at least 50 feet from a block corner and includes a garden wall or decorative fence, along with street trees planted every 30 feet between the parking and the wall or fence. This item is currently under review by the City Commission. If approved, the project would involve site preparation for parking areas, including potential installation of garden walls, decorative fences, and street trees. This could create opportunities for contractors specializing in site clearing, grading, concrete work for foundations or walls, fencing installation, and landscaping services. Early engagement with city planning staff could provide valuable insight into the final requirements and potential project timelines.
