The City of Destin is considering a resolution to protect shoreline birds. This resolution, if adopted, may lead to changes in how a specific property is used. If the State of Florida decides to use the property for nonresidential purposes, its Future Land Use and Zoning could be changed to City Conservation. This item is currently under review by city staff and will be presented to the City Council on May 18, 2026. The potential zoning change could involve site preparation, habitat restoration, and ongoing land management activities. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in future environmental or land management work related to conservation efforts should monitor this agenda item. Early engagement before final plans and permits are established could offer a competitive advantage.
