Planning Board · 2026-05-11 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed change to city rules regarding accessory dwelling units (ADUs). ADUs are additional living spaces on a property, often for elderly family members or staff. The proposal aims to allow these units while also protecting the character of existing neighborhoods. The Planning Board of the City of Panama City, Bay is reviewing this potential rule change. If approved, this could lead to new construction or modifications of existing homes to include ADUs. This early stage means contractors, suppliers, and service providers can engage with the process as plans develop. Opportunities may arise for general contractors, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and those involved in site preparation and finishing trades. Early involvement allows businesses to understand project needs before formal bidding begins.
