B. Authorize the Chair to sign the Order of the Escambia County Board of

Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

Escambia County is proposing a rezoning for a property located at 7209 Lillian Highway. The property is approximately 1.75 acres and is currently zoned for High Density Mixed-Use, allowing up to 25 dwelling units per acre. The request is to change the zoning to Public, which would limit dwelling unit density to vested residential development. This item has been recommended for approval by the Planning Board and is pending authorization for the Chair to sign the order by the Board of County Commissioners. This rezoning could lead to future development requiring site preparation, grading, utility work, and construction. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as site preparation, general contracting, and residential construction may find opportunities as this project moves forward. Engaging early before final site plans and permits are established offers a chance to compete for upcoming work.
