[5418 Saufley Field Road, Pensacola, Florida 32526; case CU-2026-22] The document is a conditional use application report for Saufley Field Townhomes, an 18-lot residential subdivision proposed at 5418 Saufley Field Road, Pensacola, Florida. The approximately 2.59-acre site is zoned Medium Density Residential (MDR) with a Mixed-Use Suburban (MU-S) Future Land Use designation. The applicant, Andala Enterprises, Inc., requests approval to construct 18 single-family attached townhouses on individually platted lots, a use not permitted by right in MDR but authorized as a conditional use under LDC § 3-2.7(c)(1)(d). The proposed density is approximately 6.95 dwelling units per acre, below the MDR maximum of 10. The project includes one access connection to Saufley Field Road, an internal public street with a cul-de-sac, sidewalks, underground utilities, central water and wastewater service, and an on-site stormwater facility. Staff recommends approval of the conditional use. The document does not state the final decision of the Board of Adjustment, only the staff recommendation. The application was submitted on August 14, 2026, and the pre-application review was completed under County Project No. 26062151PSD-PA with comments issued on June 30, 2026. ECUA preliminary engineering coordination was completed under Project No. 2026-039, with the reviewer signing on July 27, 2026. The document does not state any public comment or stakeholder sentiment. [611 Rue Max St., Pensacola, FL 32507; case V-2026-07] The document is a Board of Adjustment staff report for case V-2026-07, a variance request by It's a Home, LLC, owner, for property at 611 Rue Max St., Pensacola, FL 32507, parcel 50-2S-30-5012-008-035, zoned MDR (Medium Density Residential) with MU-U (Mixed Use Urban) future land use. The request is to allow an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) larger than the principal dwelling, specifically a proposed two-level ADU of 1,600 square feet (800 square feet per level) on a 0.41-acre parcel, exceeding the principal dwelling's 1,349 square feet. The variance is needed because the LDC limits accessory structures to 50% of the principal dwelling's gross floor area on lots under two acres. Staff recommends denial, finding the request does not meet criterion 5 (minimum variance necessary). The BOA decision is not stated in the document. Key dates: meeting date September 16, 2026; prior conditional use approval CU-2023-13 in 2023; primary residence constructed around 1950; neighborhood established 1948. No public comment or stakeholder sentiment is stated in the document.
