Commission allows RV and boat parking at Pinnacle Sports Academy property with original conditions retained
Summary
The board approved an alteration to zoning conditions to allow RV and boat parking at Pinnacle Sports Academy's Highway 78 property, while leaving prior conditions (setbacks, hours, planting/berm, truck limits and no idling) in place. A neighbor opposed potential tractor‑trailer parking; commissioners emphasized the amendment applies only to RV/
The Walton County Board of Commissioners approved a narrowly framed amendment to zoning conditions for the Pinnacle Sports Academy property on Highway 78 to permit parking of recreational vehicles and boats, while retaining the prior conditions placed on the site.
Applicant representative Chris Cagle told the board the request was limited: the original conditions (including a 20‑foot right‑side setback, restricted hours of operation, planting and berm requirements, a maximum of 15 trucks overnight tied to operation, and a prohibition on truck idling) remain in effect; the alteration would specifically allow RV and boat parking associated with the site use.
Neighbor Russell Bennett spoke in opposition to any change that could facilitate overnight tractor‑trailer parking, citing safety concerns for his family and for traffic near the landfill entrance. Commissioners and staff clarified the application before them pertained only to RV and boat parking; after discussion the board voted to approve the amendment by voice vote.
