This item concerns proposed regulations for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) within the City of Panama City. The Planning Board is reviewing rules that would limit the size of an ADU to no more than 60 percent of the main home's living space. The ADU must also be designed so it does not change the appearance of the main house as a single-family home. This review is currently planned, meaning potential projects are in the early stages. If approved, these regulations could lead to work involving design services, permitting, and construction of new accessory dwelling units. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in residential construction and related trades could find opportunities. Early engagement before final plans and permits are issued may offer a competitive advantage.
