Santa Rosa County is proposing to change the zoning and future land use for approximately 29 acres located on Lands End Lane in Gulf Breeze. The property is currently zoned R1 (Single Family Residential) and has a Future Land Use (FLU) designation of SFR (Single Family Residential). The proposal is to rezone the land to P1 (Passive Park) and change the FLU to CON/REC (Conservation/Recreation). This change is intended to preserve the 29 acres of sensitive wetland, salt marsh, and watershed area for public use as a passive park. The Zoning Board has recommended approval of this change. This project would involve site preparation for conservation and passive recreational use, potentially including minimal clearing, grading, and the installation of any necessary passive amenities or access points. Contractors specializing in land management, environmental services, and potentially light construction for passive park features could find opportunities as the project moves forward. Early engagement is advised as plans develop.
