c) Non-Residential: Retail/Service 30% to 50%; Office 25% to 50%

Planning Board-Rezoning · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed change to land use rules in Escambia County, specifically for areas more than a quarter mile from main roads or transit routes. The current zoning allows for a mix of retail and service businesses, with 30% to 50% of the space dedicated to these uses. Additionally, 25% to 50% of the space could be used for offices. This proposal is currently under review by the Planning Board. If approved, this change could lead to new construction projects. These projects would likely involve site preparation, building construction, and the installation of utilities and other infrastructure. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in fields such as general contracting, site work, concrete, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC may find opportunities. Early engagement with the project developers could provide an advantage as plans and permits are still being finalized.
