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.

This item concerns a proposed Major Deviation to a final development order for the HarborWalk Village site. The City Staff and Community Development Director have determined that the proposal requires a Major Deviation, which involves changes to conditions expressly imposed by the City Council, or changes that adversely affect compatibility, or changes the City Manager deems significant due to community impact. While specific details like address, size, and current/proposed use are not provided, the review process involves re-evaluating all criteria upon receipt of engineered drawings. This process could lead to site clearing, grading, utility work, paving, building construction, and landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should engage early to understand the project's scope as it moves through review, as this offers the best chance to compete for work before bids and permits are finalized.

This item concerns a compliance review for a project that may require a Major or Minor Deviation Development Order. The review will examine potential changes to the site's use, building height, or conditions in the final development order. All criteria will be re-reviewed once engineered drawings are submitted. The project has not yet been formally reviewed by the Technical Review Committee. Depending on the outcome of this compliance review, the project will undergo either a Minor or Major Deviation Development Order review before any approvals are granted. This process could involve site clearing, grading, utility work, paving, building construction, and final landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor this review process, as it precedes formal site plans, bids, and permits, offering an early opportunity to engage with the project.

A parking analysis for Harborwalk Village, a mixed-use development with restaurants, shops, short-term rentals, and a marina, has been completed. This analysis evaluated existing and planned parking for Phase I and Phase II development. The project is currently under review. The analysis determined that Harborwalk Village is compliant with the 2002 Land Development Code, with a surplus of parking spaces. Phase II plans include adding 573 parking spaces before reductions, bringing the total required spaces for both phases to 1,497. The total proposed spaces at Phase II completion will be 2,084, creating a surplus. This project would involve work related to parking infrastructure, potentially including site clearing, grading, paving, and the construction of new parking facilities. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, concrete, paving, and general construction may find opportunities. Early engagement could be beneficial as plans develop.

The City of Destin is reviewing an application for Harborwalk Phase II. This project is currently under review by the city. The proposed development is planned for the Harborwalk area. Details regarding the specific size, current use, or proposed use of the property are not yet available. This project is expected to involve site preparation, grading, and potentially utility work. Following initial site development, construction of vertical structures, along with mechanical and finish trades, would likely occur. The final phases would include landscaping. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage with the city early in this process. Understanding the project details as they develop, before bids and permits are finalized, offers the best opportunity to compete for work.

E. Harborwalk Village Parking Requirements Comparison
The City of Destin is reviewing parking requirements for Harborwalk Village, comparing rules from 2002 with those from 2025. This review is currently under consideration by the Special City Council. While no specific construction project is detailed, this comparison could lead to future changes in development standards for the Harborwalk Village area. Such changes might involve new or modified requirements for parking structures, surface lots, or other related infrastructure. Businesses involved in site preparation, concrete work, paving, electrical systems, and landscaping could be impacted by any resulting updates to development codes. Engaging with city planning staff early in this review process may provide insight into potential future needs and opportunities.
