iii. Home occupations allowing: not more than 60 percent of the floor area of the

Planning Board Meeting · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

This item concerns proposed changes to rules for home occupations within the City of Pensacola. The current proposal would allow home occupations to use up to 60 percent of the total building floor area on a lot. It would also permit retail sales for uses listed as conditional, allow up to two non-family employees, and permit a business sign up to three square feet. This agenda item is currently under review by the Planning Board. If approved, these changes could lead to new business opportunities related to home-based businesses, including potential needs for signage, minor renovations, and related services. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this review process, as early awareness can provide an advantage when final plans and permits are established.
