August 20, 2026 Local Planning Agency Meeting Minutes
The document is the minutes of the Destin Local Planning Agency meeting on August 20, 2026. The meeting was a review of the proposed Land Development Code (LDC) rewrite, not a decision on a specific development project. The LPA discussed and voted on several policy items: consolidating the definitions of guest houses, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), and ECHO housing into a single ADU definition; directing staff to develop language for a waiver process allowing property owners to occupy an ADU instead of the primary structure; declining to permit direct commercial food-truck sales in residential zoning districts; and reviewing the Commercial General, Commercial Trade and Services, and Industrial zoning districts. The LPA also noted that the city's Evaluation and Appraisal Review (EAR) process is underway and that the affordable housing element would be discussed during that process. The meeting was adjourned at 6:35 p.m.
