Proposed Amendments to Sections 12-3, 12-4, and 12-8 of the Land Development Code
end
BACKGROUND:
Many sections of the City’s Land Development Code were drafted a number of years ago and have not been updated. Over time, various items have come to light that need updating or modification. These proposed revisions to the City of Pensacola’s Land Development Code (LDC) have a twofold goal. First, they codify language for items which have been enforced for quite some time without actually being included in the LDC. This results in a vast improvement to the clarity and efficiency of the engineering review process. Second, this new language provides a common sense approach to the permitting of developments which have a negligible impact to the City’s stormwater quality or quantity.
The proposed amendments are sponsored by the Public Works and Facilities - Engineering and Construction Services Division. Please see the attached memo which provides greater detail on the proposed revisions.
