Planning board approves lot‑split variance at 1814 Mound Avenue
Summary
A variance to allow splitting 1814 Mound Avenue into two parcels — fronting Mound Avenue and Laurel — was approved unanimously after the applicant said one existing structure would remain on the front lot and the rear lot would be vacant.
The Panama City Planning Board on Aug. 11 unanimously approved a variance request allowing the owner to split 1814 Mound Avenue into two separate lots, creating a front lot on Mound Avenue and a rear lot on Laurel. Amber Hightower, who said she was speaking on behalf of her grandmother Brenda McNeil (owner), told the board the proposal would split the property so the front half would retain an existing structure on Mound Avenue and the rear lot on Laurel currently has no building. The variance was a request from setback regulations tied to the city’s Mixed‑Use 2 zoning rules (section 104‑31). No members of the public spoke against the split. After a motion and second, the board took a roll call and the motion passed 5‑0.
