Commission Special Rezoning Meeting · 2026-04-23 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed Small Scale Comp Plan Amendment and Rezoning No. 2026-11-RSS in Santa Rosa County. The proposal is currently under review by the Commission Special Rezoning Meeting. The rezoning request is based on concerns about adequately protecting natural resources, environmentally sensitive areas, groundwater recharge areas, lakes, rivers, shorelines, beaches, bays, and estuarine systems. While the specific location and size are not detailed, such a rezoning could lead to future development projects. These projects might involve site clearing and grading, stormwater management, utility work, and construction. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas like site preparation, environmental consulting, and construction trades may find opportunities. Engaging early in the review process allows businesses to understand potential project needs before formal plans and bids are established.
