City Commission Meetings · 2026-05-12 · agenda_item

This item proposes a new standard for neighborhood park space within the City of Panama City, requiring 1 acre of park space for every 1,000 residents. This standard is currently under review by the City Commission. If adopted, this policy could lead to future requirements for park development or acquisition across the city. This process may involve site selection, design, and construction of new park facilities or the expansion of existing ones. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor this review process. Engaging early could provide an advantage as specific park projects are identified and planned.
