Top issues during term (14)(Development)
OLF 8 Master Plan and Design Code
The property sold for $28 million; residents questioned whether that reflected full value of what they called prime I-10 corridor land.
Ashland Avenue mixed-use upzoning (Z-2026-19)
Could allow far more housing and commercial activity on the parcels; nearby staff analysis put maximum residential yield near 162 units versus about 65 under current zoning.
Proposed dewatering facility near Pace Boulevard
Kathleen Avenue density increase (Z-2026-18)
A denser subdivision could strain septic systems and rural roads but bring new housing supply to Cantonment.
Residential Improvement Grant Program expansion
Better documentation could shift funding decisions on hundreds of thousands of dollars in requests.
Residential Roof Program grants
Roughly $1.5 million in grant funds remain available; failure to spend them could mean losing them to a budget cut.
Pensacola Bay Center renovation and expansion
The project is described as a major commitment of tourist development tax dollars; specific figures were not given.
Ministry Village Charis House Delay
No change — existing FY24-25 award extended through May 2027.
Residential Roof and Rehab Grant Programs
About $52,500 in total: roughly $31,000 in liens released and $21,500 in new grant commitments.
CRA/TIF funding reduction proposal
A reduction to 50% would free about $3.2 million; the 36% statutory floor would free about $5.2 million.
Warrington Senior Living affordable housing
Project funding hinges on winning state housing tax credits; the county designation is a prerequisite.
Guidy Lane high-density rezoning
Neighbors fear lower property values; the owner plans roughly 20-22 affordable duplex units.
Beach Haven alleyway vacation
A small parcel would be vacated to adjacent owners at no charge.
Heavy truck repair shop next to a church on Pensacola Blvd
