This item concerns proposed changes to parking setback requirements within the City of Panama City. The current proposal suggests that parking areas must be set back 25 feet from public rights-of-way, unless it is an alley. However, this setback could be reduced to eight feet if the location is at least 50 feet from a block corner and includes a garden wall or decorative fence. Additionally, street trees would need to be planted every 30 feet along the parking area, between the parking and the wall or fence. This item is currently under review by the City Commission. If approved, the project would involve site preparation for parking areas, including potential installation of garden walls, decorative fences, and street trees. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors specializing in site preparation, landscaping, and potentially fencing and concrete work to engage with the city or developers as plans are finalized. Early involvement can provide an advantage before bids and permits are issued.
