April 16, 2026 Local Planning Agency Meeting Agenda Packet
The City of Destin's Local Planning Agency (LPA) is considering an ordinance (Ordinance 26-07-LC) to renumber and rename Article 16 of the Land Development Code to Article 8, titled 'Sign Regulations.' This comprehensive update aims to modernize, simplify, and clarify sign regulations, making them easier to read and enforce. Key changes include a focus on sign type rather than message, updated definitions, clearer allowances based on zoning districts, and specific regulations for permanent and temporary signs, digital signs, and vehicle signs. The ordinance is intended to comply with legal precedents like Reed v. Town of Gilbert, AZ, and promote public safety, economic welfare, and community character. The LPA recommended approval of the ordinance to the City Council. The ordinance is scheduled to become effective on October 1, 2026, if adopted by the City Council and signed by the Mayor.

Key agenda items include the E-Bike Ordinance and quotes for restriping Kelly Street and Commons Drive. The committee previously met on March 10, 2026, and recommended the installation of rapid flashing beacons at two locations: Beach Drive near Sandpiper Circle, and 101 Matthew Boulevard near the Village Baptist Church. They also recommended upgrading the Beach Drive crosswalk to FDOT mid-block standards, including 10-foot landing areas and 10-foot striping, along with ADA improvements. Concerns were raised about vegetation encroaching on sidewalks near school board property and the placement of school zone signage on Beach Drive. The committee also discussed paving schedules for Holiday Isle side streets (Veracruz and Osceola) and Gulf Shore Drive, and the alignment of stop signs near Grand Caribbean/Pompano Street along Scenic 98. Public comments on stormwater and floodplain issues were solicited but none were received. [City of Niceville; case Ordinance No. 26-01-01] The City of Niceville is creating Chapter 21 of its Code of Ordinances to regulate Electric Bicycles (E-Bikes), Motorized Scooters, and Micromobility Devices. The ordinance defines these terms and outlines operational rules, including helmet requirements, prohibitions against careless operation (e.g., using cellphones, earbuds, excessive speed, failing to yield to pedestrians), and rules for operating on sidewalks, paths, and roadways. Parking regulations are also established, prohibiting obstruction of pedestrian or vehicular traffic, accessibility ramps, fire hydrants, and requiring parking in designated areas or with property owner permission. Penalties for violations range from written warnings for first offenses to civil penalties of up to $500 for subsequent offenses. The ordinance was passed and enacted on February 10, 2026, following public hearings. [Kelly Street; Commons Drive; case ITEM # 2026-599] The Public Works/Safety Committee is considering quotes for restriping Kelly Street and Commons Drive due to worn and faded lines that no longer meet FDOT maintenance standards. The estimated cost for both projects is approximately $78,600.00, with funds available in the Public Works budget. Emerald Coast Striping, Inc., the city's continuing services contractor, has provided quotes for the work. The committee is recommending approval to engage the contractor and forward the project to City Council for final approval.

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.
