6. Residential Future Land Use Map Category

Planning Board · 2026-04-13 · agenda_item

The Planning Board of the City of Panama City is reviewing a proposed future land use map category for residential development. This category aims to create areas for neighborhoods with mainly single-family homes on separate lots. The proposal allows for a maximum density of 10 dwelling units per acre and limits impervious surface area to 60% of lot coverage. It permits single-family homes, attached multi-family units of up to four units, schools, utilities, and public or private recreation facilities. The review stage means this is an early opportunity for local businesses. If approved, this could lead to site clearing, grading, utility work, road construction, home building, and landscaping. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in construction, trades, and material supply should monitor this item as plans develop. Early engagement could provide an advantage before bids and permits are finalized.
