3. Amendment to the existing Development Order.

May 18, 2026, Regular City Council Meeting · 2026-05-18 · agenda_item

The City of Destin is considering an amendment to an existing Development Order related to property at Norriego Point Park. This amendment would allow for potential changes to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and rezoning, moving away from a Conservation designation. The property currently has a Conservation designation and zoning, which restricts development to beach accessways and passive recreation, and does not permit marinas. The proposed amendment aims to address the legal classification of docks on the property, which are currently tied to a never-constructed condominium and cannot be used independently without modification. This process involves multiple public hearings before the Land Planning Agency and City Council, indicating the item is under review. If approved, this could lead to site preparation, potential utility work, and construction related to revised dock usage or other permitted development. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in construction, engineering, and related fields should monitor this review process. Early engagement before final site plans, bids, and permits are issued could provide a competitive advantage.
