D. Urban Sprawl

This item concerns a proposed policy change regarding future land use and rezoning within Santa Rosa County. The Santa Rosa County Board of County Commissioners is considering amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, specifically Policy 1.1.E.2, which addresses urban sprawl. The proposed change requires that any future land use category change or rezoning approval must include a finding that the change promotes compact development and discourages urban sprawl. This finding will be made by the Board of County Commissioners after receiving a report from the Zoning Board. The County may use specific indicators of urban sprawl when reviewing these amendments. This policy review is currently under consideration, representing an early stage in the public process. The work this policy review could eventually set in motion involves land use planning, zoning board reviews, and county commission deliberations. Businesses involved in land development, real estate, engineering, and legal services may find opportunities as these policies are refined and applied to future projects. Engaging with the county early in this review process could provide valuable insight into upcoming development standards and requirements.

This item concerns a proposed change to zoning rules in Santa Rosa County. The change would allow for the division of larger, older parcels of land (defined as lots of record as of October 22, 1998) in RR-1, R-1, R-1M, and R-1A zoning districts. The key provision is that the resulting smaller parcels may not meet the standard road frontage requirements. This proposal is currently under review by the Commission Special Rezoning Meeting. If approved, this could lead to new development opportunities. The work might involve site planning, surveying, and potentially infrastructure upgrades to serve newly divided parcels. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out to understand the specifics of this zoning change as it moves through the review process, as early engagement can provide an advantage before detailed site plans and permits are finalized.

A rezoning proposal is under review for a parcel of land located in Santa Rosa County. The proposal involves changing the land use and zoning to allow for a residential development. The majority of the proposed lots would be 93 feet wide, with one lot at 170 feet. If all lots were adjusted to 100 feet, the number of lots would remain the same. This rezoning is currently under review by the Commission Special Rezoning Meeting. If approved, the project would likely involve site preparation, grading, utility installation, road construction, and the building of new homes. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in residential construction, site work, and related trades should monitor this proposal. Early engagement could provide an advantage as plans develop.

Spartan Sourcing LLC, represented by Chris Nallick, is proposing a change to the zoning and future land use for approximately 16.5 acres located in the 7800 Block of Chumuckla Highway in Pace. The property is currently zoned AG2 (Agriculture District 2) with an Agriculture Future Land Use designation.
