This item concerns a proposed rezoning to Commercial (COM) for a property within Escambia County. The applicant seeks to change the land use to accommodate neighborhood-serving commercial uses along the Highway 29 corridor. This rezoning is presented as consistent with the Escambia County Comprehensive Plan and the Bella Terra Master Plan. The proposal is currently under review by the Planning Board. The project would involve site preparation, construction of commercial buildings, and associated infrastructure. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as site clearing, grading, concrete, paving, building construction, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC may find opportunities. Early engagement is advised as site plans and permits are being finalized.
