A property located at 2399 Houston Avenue is under review for a small-scale Future Land Use Map amendment. The request is to change the land use from Commercial (COM) to Mixed-Use Urban (MU-U). This change is intended to allow for infill development, provide more housing in an urban area, and create a smoother transition between commercial and residential zones. The proposal is currently under review by the Planning Board. If approved, this amendment would allow for development that uses existing infrastructure and transportation routes. The project would likely involve site preparation, construction of mixed residential and commercial buildings, and related infrastructure work. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in potential future work should consider reaching out to the applicant or the Escambia County Development Services Department early in the process, before final site plans and permits are established.
