1. Ord. 26-16-LC - LDC Beach definition
The City of Destin is reviewing an ordinance, number 26-16-LC, that would change the official definition of "beach" within its Land Development Code. This change is proposed to make the definition match the city's legal boundaries, which extend to the mean high water line of the Gulf of Mexico. Currently, the code defines beach as extending to the mean low water line, which is outside the city's jurisdiction. This ordinance is currently under review and has been recommended for adoption by the Local Planning Agency. If adopted, this change will clarify code enforcement and align city regulations with its charter. This item does not involve new construction or site work, but rather a regulatory update. Businesses involved in legal services, government relations, and land use consulting may find this item relevant as the city clarifies its codes.

1. Ord. 26-18-PC - Comp Plan Beach
The City of Destin is considering an ordinance to amend its Comprehensive Plan. This ordinance, identified as Ord. 26-18-PC, aims to change the definition of "beach" within Chapter 13 of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed change is to make the definition consistent with the City's jurisdictional boundaries, which extend to the mean high water line of the Gulf of Mexico, rather than the current definition that extends to the mean low water line. This is intended to resolve confusion in code enforcement. The Local Planning Agency has reviewed this item and recommended it to the City Council. The process is currently under review, with potential adoption by the City Council and subsequent review by the State land planning agency. This item does not involve direct construction work but could lead to future needs for legal services related to ordinance interpretation and compliance. Businesses specializing in legal services and government relations may find opportunities to engage with the city as this ordinance moves through its final stages.

This item concerns regulations for public utility signs near underground and high voltage lines. The proposed rules would allow these signs to be up to three feet tall and four square feet in area.

16. The following items guided the rewrite of draft Article 8:
This item concerns a review of draft Article 8, which involves sign regulations. The review is guided by American Planning Association guidance and a Supreme Court case from 2015. The current status is that this item is under review as part of a planning agency meeting agenda. The work involved would be related to updating and implementing new sign regulations. This could involve legal review, planning, and potentially the creation of new signage or the modification of existing signs to comply with updated rules. Local businesses involved in signage, design, legal services, and planning could be impacted. Engaging early in this review process allows businesses to understand potential changes and prepare for future compliance or opportunities.

2. Free Standing, i.e., a “ground sign” that is independent of another structure.
The City of Destin is reviewing proposed changes to permanent sign allowances, specifically for free-standing or ground signs. These changes would affect various zoning districts, including Residential, Mixed Use, SHMU & NHMU, CG, CTS, IN, INST, A, REC & CON districts. The review includes updated rules for total square footage, maximum individual sign size, and maximum height for both commercial and non-commercial signs. This item is currently under review by the Local Planning Agency. The potential project involves the design, fabrication, and installation of new signage across different commercial and non-commercial zones. This could include site preparation for sign foundations, electrical work for illuminated signs, and the physical installation of the signs themselves. Local contractors, sign manufacturers, electricians, and installers may find opportunities as these regulations are finalized. Early engagement could be beneficial as specific site plans and permit requirements are developed.

2. Permanent Non-Commercial - a sign that is constructed or used for ninety-one (91) days or
This item concerns a proposed permanent non-commercial sign. A non-commercial sign is defined as one used for ninety-one days or more that displays writing, graphics, numbers, illustrations, or decorations to promote an idea, belief, or thought. The City of Destin's Local Planning Agency is reviewing this proposal. This review is in its early stages, indicating a planned project rather than one already underway. If approved, the project would involve the fabrication and installation of the sign structure. This could include site preparation, foundation work, and the physical erection of the sign. Businesses specializing in sign manufacturing, installation, concrete work, and potentially electrical services for lighting could be involved. Engaging with the project early, before final plans and permits are issued, offers an advantage for contractors and suppliers.

4. Balancing Efficiency vs. Public Input
The City of Destin's Local Planning Agency is reviewing a proposed change to how single-family dock permits are handled. Currently, the Harbor & Waterways Board reviews these permits. The proposed change, which has passed a vote, would remove this review step. Instead, all single-family residential docks would go before the City Council on the consent agenda. City staff will mail notification letters to adjacent property owners before the council considers the dock permit. This process aims to maintain public awareness and neighbor input while streamlining the process. The work would involve administrative tasks for city staff, including mailing notifications, and potentially legal and engineering services for permit applications. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers should reach out to the city planning department to understand the notification requirements and potential future dock projects, as early engagement can provide an advantage before specific project details are finalized.

4. Exemptions need to avoid content-based exemptions
The City of Destin's Local Planning Agency is reviewing proposed changes to the city's sign regulations. These changes aim to clarify rules for commercial and non-commercial signs, as well as permanent and temporary signs. The proposal includes new charts to help determine sign size, number, and location based on zoning. It also suggests prohibiting new digital signs and changing rules for vehicle signs. The review is currently under consideration by the Local Planning Agency, indicating an early stage in the process. This review could lead to new requirements for sign design, manufacturing, installation, and maintenance. Businesses involved in sign creation, installation, and related services may find opportunities as the city updates its ordinances. Engaging with the process now, before final decisions are made, could provide insight into future needs and potential projects.

4. Multi-occupancy Building: Fifteen percent (15%) of the lease space/unit façade, not to exceed
This item concerns proposed rules for multi-occupancy buildings in the City of Destin. The proposal states that 15% of the lease space or unit facade, up to a maximum of 150 square feet, can be used for signage. Each occupant or unit is guaranteed at least 25 square feet for their signage. This is currently under review by the Local Planning Agency. If approved, this could lead to work for businesses involved in signage design, fabrication, and installation. Early engagement with the city or developers could provide an advantage as plans are finalized.

5. NEW BUSINESS:
The City of Destin's Local Planning Agency is reviewing a proposed ordinance, Ordinance No. 26-07-LC, to update regulations for land development codes related to signs. This ordinance aims to renumber and rename Article 16, "Signs," to a new Article 8, "Sign Regulations." The proposed changes include classifying signs as commercial or non-commercial, temporary or permanent, and establishing limits on size and height based on zoning districts. A key proposal is to prohibit new digital signs citywide, with existing digital signs becoming nonconforming and requiring removal within ten years, though institutional uses may be exempt. The item is currently under review, with the Local Planning Agency recommending approval to the City Council after discussing revisions. This process could lead to work involving site plan adjustments, potential rezoning applications, and the installation or modification of signage according to new standards. Contractors specializing in signage, general contracting, and related trades, as well as suppliers of sign materials, may find opportunities as these regulations are finalized and implemented. Early engagement could provide insight into specific project needs before final bids and permits are issued.
