April 13, 2026 Special City Council Meeting Minutes
A quasi-judicial hearing was held regarding a Development Order Compliance Review for the Harborwalk Village Phase II development. The project is located at 76 and 100 Harbor Boulevard and encompasses approximately 8.31 acres. The proposed modifications aim to comply with Development Order (DO) 10-02. Staff identified several potential issues, including insufficient information for Phase 2B, building heights exceeding the 100-foot/9-story limit, setbacks not meeting minimum requirements, modifications to a previously limited access point on Highway 98, and parking exceeding the maximum allowed. The applicant argued that the deviations were minor and technical. The council ultimately voted 5-1 to find the applicant not in compliance with Development Order 10-02, citing multiple elements including height, setbacks, and lack of detailed final plans. The applicant may pursue available options such as applying for a major deviation or returning to council. Public comments included concerns about harbor safety, overcrowding, and the accuracy of capacity calculations, as well as support for the city's progress and partnerships.

April 13, 2026, Special City Council Meeting Packet
This document is an agenda item for the Destin City Council meeting on April 13, 2026, concerning a Development Order Compliance Review for Harborwalk Village Phase II. The applicant, Legendary, LLC on behalf of Pelican Point Harbor, LLC, is seeking a determination of compliance with existing Development Orders (DO-10-02) as an alternative to a Major Development Order amendment. The proposed project includes 32,899 square feet of retail space, 86 condominiums, and 254 hotel rooms, along with infrastructure and a parking garage. Staff has identified several potential deviations from the original Development Order, including changes in building height (proposed 106.75' vs. authorized 100'), setbacks (portions extending outside the 'Restricted Zone'), ingress/egress modifications (retaining a right-out exit onto Highway 98 instead of a shared drive), and potential changes in land use. The document outlines criteria for Major and Minor Deviations and presents two alternative motions for the Council: one to determine compliance and allow a Minor Deviation review, and another to determine non-compliance, requiring a Major Deviation review. Public comment is scheduled but not detailed in this agenda item text.
