HEARING REQUIRED: Public
SUMMARY:
The Pensacola International Airport has contracted with the West Florida Regional Planning Council to conduct a consistency review for the City of Pensacola based on recent changes to Florida Statute Chapter 333 - Airport Zoning. The Florida Statute requires that the City’s Land Development Code be consistent with F.S. Chapter 333. The proposed amendments will allow the City to remain in compliance with that requirement.
Through this collaborative process with the Pensacola International Airport, the City of Pensacola, the West Florida Regional Planning Council, and Escambia County, a similar ordinance will be considered for adoption by the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners. In accordance with Florida Statute, Chapter 333, an Interlocal Agreement will be required between the City of Pensacola and Escambia County.
On April 11, 2017 the City’s Planning Board unanimously recommended approval of the proposed amendment.
