1. Confine ground and building lighting to the property and without causing direct light to protrude
This item concerns proposed regulations for ground and building lighting within the City of Panama City, Bay County. The proposal aims to ensure that all lighting is confined to the property where it is located and does not shine directly onto neighboring properties. A key detail is that the maximum height for any light pole would be 35 feet. This matter is currently under review by the Planning Board. If approved, the project would involve the implementation of new lighting standards, potentially requiring upgrades or adjustments to existing lighting systems on various properties. This could lead to work in areas such as electrical contracting, lighting installation, and potentially site preparation for new pole installations. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this review process, as early awareness can provide an advantage in understanding future requirements and potential opportunities.

4. Compatible with adjacent land uses and districts, and not create a potential nuisance.
John Fifteen Five LLC has requested that the City of Panama City vacate a right-of-way. This alleyway is located directly east of 519 E 6th Street, north of E 6th Street and south of E 7th Street. The property is approximately 0.13 acres. This item is currently under review by the Planning Board and will be considered by the City Commission in July 2026. If approved, this action would involve the abandonment of a public right-of-way. This process typically involves legal and administrative steps, with potential for future development considerations tied to the adjacent property. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in future work related to the adjacent parcel should reach out early to understand the project's progression before final plans and permits are established.

5. General Commercial Land Use Category
The City of Panama City Planning Board is reviewing a proposed change to the General Commercial Land Use Category, specifically the General Commercial-2 (GC-2) zoning district. This category is intended for high-intensity commercial development, allowing for retail sales and services, wholesale sales, shopping centers, office complexes, and similar commercial uses. The review is currently planned, indicating an early stage in the public process. If approved, this zoning change could lead to site preparation, construction of commercial buildings, and associated infrastructure work. Businesses such as general contractors, site prep and grading services, concrete and masonry specialists, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC contractors, as well as building material suppliers, could find opportunities. Engaging with the city early in this review process may provide an advantage before specific site plans, bids, and permits are finalized.

5. The proposed vacation does not eliminate a public accessway to the water, unless comparable or better
The Planning Board of the City of Panama City is reviewing a request to vacate an alleyway. This alleyway is located east of 519 E 6th Street, between E 6th Street and E 7th Street. The applicant is seeking this vacation, and the request is currently under review by the Planning Board. If approved, this action would involve the potential closure and repurposing of the existing alleyway. This could lead to site preparation and potential construction work depending on future development plans for the adjacent parcel. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor this item as it progresses.

5. The proposed vacation does not eliminate a public accessway to the water, unless comparable or better
The City of Panama City Planning Board is reviewing a request to vacate an alleyway. This alleyway is located within parcels owned by the applicant and is adjacent to properties zoned Neighborhood General. The vacation is intended to allow the owner to develop a more interconnected and multi-modal cross access between their existing properties. This request is currently under review by the Planning Board, with a recommendation for approval to be sent to the City Commission. If approved, this action would allow for future development that aligns with the city's goals for walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods. This project could create opportunities for contractors involved in site preparation, grading, utility work, paving, and general construction as the applicant moves forward with development plans. Early engagement with the applicant before final site plans and permits are established could provide a competitive advantage for local businesses.
