Commission Special Rezoning Meeting · 2026-05-21 · agenda_item

This item concerns proposed changes to access road and driveway standards for facilities not accessed by the public within Santa Rosa County. The proposal suggests allowing reduced internal drive widths to 16 feet and clear access ways with a 12-foot wide, stabilized access road. Any driveway connections to county or state roads would need to follow specific standards outlined in Section 4.05.02.C.6. This matter is currently under review by the Commission Special Rezoning Meeting. If approved, the changes could impact site planning and construction for future non-public facilities, potentially involving site preparation, grading, paving, and utility work. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, grading, paving, and utility installation may find opportunities. Early engagement before final plans and permits are set could provide a competitive advantage.
