X. Close of Evidence and Public Hearing. Deliberation and action by the

Planning Board · 2026-05-11 · agenda_item

Several land development proposals are under review by the City of Panama City Planning Board. One proposal involves a variance request to build an accessory dwelling unit exceeding the 15-foot height limit at 405 Hollis Avenue. Another is a major development request for property zoned Heavy Industry at 730 and 732 Highway 231. Additionally, there are two rezoning requests: one for Magnolia Avenue from Neighborhood Residential to Neighborhood General, and another for Grace Avenue to change from Mixed Use-2 to General Commercial-2, which also includes a small-scale land use amendment. These items are currently under review, with public hearings scheduled for May 11, 2026, and subsequent City Commission readings in June. The rezoning and land use amendment proposals would likely involve site preparation, utility work, and construction. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as site prep, grading, concrete, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and landscaping may find opportunities as these projects move through the review process. Engaging early before final plans and permits are set can provide a competitive advantage.
