Planning Board · 2026-05-11 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed change to the Industrial Future Land Use Category for the City of Panama City. The Planning Board is reviewing this proposal, which aims to align with Goal 1B of the Comprehensive Plan, focusing on protecting citizen welfare and quality of life while supporting economic development and private property rights. Specifically, it addresses Objective 1.4 and Policy 1.4.1, which involve administering land development regulations to implement the Comprehensive Plan, including provisions for innovative land use management. The review is in its early stages, indicating potential future development opportunities. This review could lead to new site development, requiring services such as site clearing, grading, utility work, paving, building construction, and landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this item's progress as it moves through the planning process, as early engagement could provide an advantage before detailed site plans, bids, and permits are finalized.
