B. Second reading of Ordinance 25-24-LC - Deleting Article 2 — Administration of the Land

May 4, 2026 City Council Meeting · 2026-05-04 · agenda_item

The City of Destin is considering changes to its Land Development Code. This includes replacing Article 2, which covers general administration and development orders, and Article 4, which deals with public participation. The proposed updates will affect regulations for planning applications, land divisions, planned unit developments, marine construction, conditional uses, certificates of appropriateness, changes of use, appeals, special exceptions, variances, and telecommunications facilities. It also covers site development and building permit reviews, public procedures, city boards, and development fees. This item is currently under review, with a second reading scheduled for the May 4, 2026, City Council meeting. The review process could lead to new requirements for site development, building permits, and public procedures. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in fields like engineering, legal services, and construction trades may find opportunities as these regulations are finalized and implemented. Engaging early in the review process allows businesses to understand upcoming changes and prepare for potential future work.
