HEARING REQUIRED: Public
SUMMARY:
The Community Redevelopment Area Urban Design Overlay was adopted by the City Council in 2019 to provide development standards for the CRA neighborhoods not covered by a special design review board. The intent of these design standards was to preserve and maintain the traditional walkable, urban pattern and character of Pensacola’s community redevelopment area neighborhoods.
On February 10, 2022, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 03-22, which amended Section 12-3-31 (6) and Table 12-3-31.12 of the CRA Urban Design Overlay district standards. The amendment established a modification process through an administrative review. Proposed Ordinance No. 13-22 creates the administrative process and details the duties and requirements of the two architect advisors for the review process.
At the March 8, 2022 Planning Board Meeting, the Board unanimously recommended approval of the proposed ordinance, amended to require that the architect advisors be a resident of the City of Pensacola.
