Planning board recommends annexation and commercial land-use for parcel off Highway 90
Summary
The board recommended annexation of a roughly 0.445-acre parcel owned by North Star Church into Panama City with a General Commercial land-use and GC-2 zoning; no public opposition spoke at the hearing.
The Panama City Planning Board on July 14 recommended annexation of a 0.445-acre parcel off Highway 90 into the city and a land-use and zoning change to General Commercial (GC-2). The applicant was listed as Joseph Bishop of Flag Law Design Building, Inc.; the owner is North Star Church. The board voted to recommend approval and forward the matter to the City Commission.
Planning staff presented the application as case CPCPLN2020-572 and noted the parcel is currently in Bay County under a county commercial zoning; the request would bring the parcel into the city's General Commercial 2 district, which staff said is compatible with the existing county commercial classification. No members of the public spoke on the item at the Planning Board hearing.
A motion to approve the annexation and rezoning carried on a roll call vote. Recorded votes at the meeting were Board Member Pearl — yes; Board Member Stamps — yes; Board Member Barker — yes; Board Member Rich — yes; Chairman Neubauer — yes. Staff said the City Commission will undertake the formal annexation and zoning decision as required by ordinance.
The board's action was a recommendation; subsequent City Commission hearings will set the effective annexation date and finalize zoning. Staff indicated the application packet included aerials, location maps, and staff analysis; no additional conditions were recorded by the Planning Board at the meeting.
The Planning Department will transmit the record to the City Commission for the required public hearings.
