The City of Panama City is reviewing policies related to developer requirements for providing recreation space in new projects. Specifically, for developments with over 100 residential units, developers must dedicate at least one half acre of land for park space for every 50 units. The city is also considering criteria for developers to pay a fee instead of dedicating land for recreation. This review is currently under consideration by the City Commission. The project involves establishing new land development regulations and fee schedules. This could lead to future site development for parks and recreational facilities, potentially including land clearing, grading, utility work, paving, and landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor these policy developments. Engaging early before final plans and permits are established could provide an advantage for future work.
