[1919 Tyndall Drive; case CPC-PLN-2026-1278] Panama City Planning Board considered a variance request for a carport at 1919 Tyndall Drive. The applicant, Tim Clark, sought to reduce the front setback from 20 feet to 16 feet for a carport attached to the primary structure. The property is 0.528 acres and zoned Residential-1 (R-1). The reason for the variance is the property's waterfront location on the rear, making front placement necessary for access and ease of maintenance, and to accommodate an elderly mother. Staff recommended approval. [222 Elm Avenue; case CPC-PLN-2026-1478] Panama City Planning Board considered a variance request for an accessory structure size at 222 Elm Avenue. The applicant, Jeffrey Driggers, sought to exceed the 60% maximum square footage allowance for accessory structures. The property is 0.237 acres and zoned Neighborhood Residential (NR). The applicant plans to build an 18'x40' covered boat house/pole barn (720 sq ft) as an accessory structure, while the existing primary structure (an ADU) is 625 sq ft. The variance is needed because the proposed structure exceeds the 60% limit. The structure will be open and serve as weather protection for a boat. Staff recommended approval, noting that similar sized accessory structures exist in the neighborhood. [2015 W 23rd Ct; case CPC-PLN-2026-1237] Panama City Planning Board meeting on June 8, 2026, included a request for a Small Scale Land Use Amendment and Rezoning at 2015 W 23rd Ct.

The applicant is seeking a variance to allow the accessory structure to be located on the 'side' of the primary structure and exceed the 'front' edge of the primary structure. Additionally, a variance is requested for the accessory structure's base square footage to exceed 60% of the primary structure's square footage. The primary structure is a studio home of approximately 650 sq ft, developed post-Hurricane Michael. The proposed location is intended to align with code intent and allow for future primary structure development. Similar accessory structures are present in the neighborhood.
