3. Zoning/Land Use/Development Order Background Information

The City of Destin is reviewing potential changes to the land use entitlements for the State Park property located next to Norriego Point Park. Currently, the property is restricted to nonresidential uses only. Because a condominium is unlikely to be built there and the State acquired the land for conservation, the city is considering updating the property's entitlements to allow for its maintenance for nonresidential purposes. This review is currently planned and under consideration by the City Council. The process could involve site assessments, planning, and potentially infrastructure updates to support future nonresidential uses. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider engaging with the city early in this review process. Understanding the project's direction before final plans and permits are established offers an advantage for potential involvement.
