This item concerns a proposed development on a property in Escambia County. The property is primarily outside of a Special Flood Hazard Area, located in an "Area of Minimal Flood Hazard, Zone X" according to FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps. Soils on the site are largely Nonhydric/Non-Prime. The easternmost corner of the property is within a 20-Year Well Head Protection Contour, but no portion is within a 7-year protection area. No wetlands are indicated on county maps. The proposal is currently under review by the Planning Board, conditional upon proposed amendments. If approved, development would require obtaining all applicable state and county permits. This project could involve site clearing, grading, and utility work, followed by construction and landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project scope as plans develop, before bids and permits are finalized.
