3. Protection of trees. It is the intent of this section to recognize the contribution of shade

Planning Board Meeting · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

This item concerns the protection of trees within the Aragon redevelopment area. The Planning Board of the City of Pensacola is reviewing proposed regulations intended to preserve shade and flowering trees that contribute to the area's character. This review is in the early planning stages. The project would involve identifying specific trees for protection and establishing guidelines for their preservation. This could lead to future work related to tree surveys, landscape planning, and potentially site development that must account for protected trees. Local contractors, landscape services, and suppliers involved in site preparation and landscaping may find opportunities as plans develop. Engaging early could provide an advantage before final site plans and permits are established.
