Request to recommend a new Zoning District and Future Land Use Category for the voluntary annexation of one (1) parcel owned by AMR at Pensacola, Inc.
end
BACKGROUND:
AMR at Pensacola, Inc. officially requested Annexation into the City of Pensacola on June 1, 2021. The parcel is located on the southeast corner of the intersection of West Blount Street with North Pace Boulevard which is in an unincorporated portion of Escambia County.
The proposed area for annexation is on the west border of the City and is referred to as “AMR Annexation Area.” The AMR Annexation Area is contiguous to the City and encompasses approximately 0.44 acres.
Approval (2nd City Council reading Aug. 12, 2021) of the annexation request necessitated a subsequent amendment to the City’s Zoning and Future Land Use Maps to include the subject properties. The City reviewed the adjacent zoning districts for the proposed use as a tiny home village and recommends “Residential/Office Land Use District” (R-2) and “Office” (O) for the new zoning district and future land use category respectively.
