This item concerns a review of land use regulations within the City of Panama City. Specifically, it references Section 102-41(E) of the city's code, which outlines the process for Comprehensive Plan Amendments and rezoning requests. The Planning Board must make a positive finding based on four criteria before recommending approval of any such changes. This review process is currently under consideration, indicating an early stage in potential future development decisions. While no specific project is detailed, the review process itself could involve site planning, engineering, and legal services as new land use proposals are evaluated. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor these regulatory reviews, as they may lead to future development opportunities. Engaging early in the process allows businesses to understand potential upcoming projects and prepare to compete for work once plans are finalized.
