The Local Planning Agency (LPA) met on April 16, 2026, to discuss proposed changes to the City of Destin's Land Development Code, specifically Article 16 concerning "Signs," which is being renumbered and renamed to Article 8 "Sign Regulations." Key discussions included revisions to language regarding signs in rights-of-way, permanent and temporary non-commercial signage in residential districts, residential commercial signs, temporary signs, prohibited signs, and sign heights. The LPA also discussed the potential impacts of these changes on existing businesses and considered uniform sign height options. A timeline update for the Land Development Code rewrite was also provided. No specific projects with addresses or developers were presented for approval or denial in this meeting; the focus was on ordinance revisions.
