Recommendation:
That the Board adopt an Ordinance to amend the Escambia County Land Development Code (LDC), amending Article 2, “Administration,” Section 2.14.02, to revise the language for clarity purposes; and amending Article 6, “Zoning Districts,” Section 6.07.02, to amend certain R-3 and R-4 zoning district building design standards within the Barrancas Overlay District.
BACKGROUND:
Certain building design standards within the Barrancas Overlay District are in need of being updated to provide relief for future residential development.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
The building and performance standards detailed in the Ordinance will help revitalize the properties located within the Barrancas Overlay District. The enhanced look and quality of the properties will improve marketability and raise property values, which in turn will create incremental increases in the ad valorem tax base for the County.
