This item concerns a proposed change to the Escambia County Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and zoning maps. The proposal involves changing a future land use designation from Commercial to Mixed-Use Urban. This change is intended to identify areas suitable for residential development and/or redevelopment. The analysis suggests this change is consistent with surrounding land uses and will not allow for more intense uses or density than currently permitted in the area. The item is currently under review by the Planning Board. If approved, this could lead to future development opportunities. This process may involve site planning, clearing, grading, utility work, paving, building construction, and landscaping. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this review process. Early engagement before final site plans, bids, and permits are established could provide a competitive advantage.
