Loading...
Summary
Staff reported two development orders issued in January—a 1,700-square-foot Take 5 oil change facility and a 232‑unit multifamily development called The Cottages—and disclosed a new application for a 20,000‑square‑foot Okaloosa County Tax Collector's Office near the community center.
During the board’s February meeting, Nick, planning department staff, presented the director’s report listing recent development activity and new applications.
Nick said staff issued two development orders in January. One was for a Take 5 oil change facility, described in staff remarks as a roughly 1,700‑square‑foot building on about a half‑acre at the intersection of Third Avenue and North Ferdinand Boulevard, south of Southern Pipe. The other was a development order for The Cottages, a 232‑unit multifamily project on about 35 acres west of Antioch Road and north of the Fox Valley subdivision.
Nick also described a new application for the Okaloosa County Tax Collector’s Office, a proposed roughly 20,000‑square‑foot office building at 1448 Commerce Drive, located west of the Chamber of Commerce and north of the library near the community center site. Staff said the site is in a field adjacent to public facilities and that the application is under review.
Staff told the board there has been no activity on any final plats since the last report and that several projects remain in the review pipeline; a few are closer to receiving development orders than others, Nick said. He offered to follow up with specific answers if board members had questions on individual projects.
Board members did not request additional action during the meeting; no public comments were recorded on the director’s report item.
