SUMMARY:
Pensacola International Airport requests that City Council approve a vacation of Rights of Way of Airline Drive, St. Anne Drive, Douglas Avenue between Tippin Avenue and Airport Property, Sherrill Avenue, and Executive Plaza. The primary purpose of the vacation is to accommodate future expansion of Pensacola International Airport.
The Planning Department received a Vacation of Right-of-Way (ROW) application from the Pensacola International Airport to vacate five streets in the area known as Air Commerce Park.
All parcels in the former subdivision were purchased in their entirety by the City of Pensacola for the purpose of expanding Pensacola International Airport. The property is to be redeveloped as part of a maintenance/repair/overhaul facility to be leased to VT Mobile Aerospace Engineering (also known as Project Titan Element 2). All parcels are vacant with the exception of American Mini Warehouses, which tenants have been properly notified and was closed on September 1, 2022.
This request has been routed through the various City departments and utility providers and their comments are attached for your review.
The Planning Board approved the request during the August 9, 2022 meeting on a vote of 5:0.
