body
HEARING REQUIRED: Public
SUMMARY:
Subsequent to the approval of the Baptist Health Care Annexation, is a request for vacation of various rights of way within the annexation area.
Upon questions being raised at the Agenda Conference, further legal review and consultation with Baptist’s surveyor and counsel and appropriate members of City Staff occurred. As a result of this additional review, it was determined that Dixie Drive is privately held and is not a public right of way. The rights of way being proposed for vacation are as follows: Rawson Lane from Brent Lane to Corday Street, Corday Street from Dixie Drive to I-110, and Joe Elliott Way in its entirety.
The request has been updated, and the corresponding ordinance has also been updated and clarified in the legal description and title as to what right-of-way Baptist is requesting be vacated.
On December 10, 2019 the City of Pensacola Planning Board unanimously recommended approval of the request. Because the updated ordinance reduces the amount of right of way being vacated, it would not impact the recommendation.
