amendments are as follows:
1. Reducing the number of residential units from 549 (of which there currently exist 335 single
family units with 64 additional single family units and a 150 multi-family unit apartment
complex approved but unbuilt) to 431 units (the 335 existing single family units plus an
additional 64 single family units and a 32 unit multi-family apartment complex for future
development) - a reduction of 118 multifamily units.
2. Reducing the office space from 151,500 square feet (116,125 SF existing, 35,375 SF future
development) to 116,125 SF (existing), a reduction of 35,375 SF office space.
3. Adding a 209 room hotel with no more than 333,875 SF and a maximum height of 99 feet or
less.
4. Minimum parking ratio of 1.1 spaces per unit for hotel and 1.5 spaces per unit for multi-
family apartment complex.
5. Waive the setbacks and buffers to the north, east and west sides of the hotel and multi-family
apartment complex since the uses and the properties subject to this approval abut open space
and have no impacts on the adjacent properties and uses.
6. Extend the build out date to November 18, 2023.

• The owners of the properties are proposing to build a hotel on Future Development 1 and a multi-
family apartment complex on Future Development 2.
• The requested amendment to the current approval of the PUD Master Plan would allow the
property owners/developers to build the requested 209 unit hotel on Future Development 1 and 32
unit multi-family apartment complex on Future Development 2.
• The properties are classified “Vacant Commercial and Office Buildings” by the Property
Appraiser for property tax purposes.
• The existing uses of the adjacent properties are multi-family apartments and golf course to the
north and to the east, Highway 98 to the south and to the west is Regatta Bay Boulevard.
• The applicant provided a traffic analysis study which shows that the decrease in apartment units
and office space offsets the trips from the proposed hotel resulting in no net increase in trips
overall. The traffic study was also reviewed by the City of Destin consultant resulting in an
approval by the City.

expressing concerns about ingress and egress, increased traffic, and reduction of setbacks.
