end
body
HEARING REQUIRED: Quasi-Judicial
SUMMARY:
The City has received a request from Amy Miller, Director, Port of Pensacola, for approval of the site plan for the proposed Ferry Landing to be located in the 700 block of Commendencia Street at the terminus of Commendencia Slip. The project is located in the Waterfront Redevelopment District, which requires aesthetic and site plan review from the City’s Planning Board, and final site plan approval from the City Council. The project includes a 1,110 sf building for ticket sales, restroom facilities, and equipment enclosure as well as the open public spaces adjacent to the ferry docks.
As presented, the building encroaches into the Commendencia Street right of way by approximately 3’, and the handicap ramp is located completely within the right of way. A corresponding request to vacate this portion of the Commendencia Street right of way will bring the building into compliance if approved.
On June 13, 2017, the City’s Planning Board unanimously recommended approval of the site plan.
