Big housing development proposed

   July 11, 2023

NorthEscambia.com reports the county planning board is considering the Woodland Park development that proposes having 2,356 townhomes and apartments, 2,065 single-family lots, nearly 100 acres for commercial development, plus land for a fire station, school and other public uses on 1,486 acres development west of Highway 29 and south of Highway 196 in Molino.

Why this matters: Exit 3 Investments, LLC – of St. Petersburg, Fla. – has multiple applications pending this week before the Escambia County Planning Board as they seek to opt parcels out of the Escambia County Sector Plan and rezone multiple parcels for higher densities.

  • The proposed amendment to the high-density residential (HDR) use is not consistent with the land development code on one side of the property that is next to agricultural zoning.
  • Staff also found that the proposed high-density residential zone is not compatible with surrounding uses because that provides for residential neighborhood development with a greater dwelling unit density within urban areas — not adjoining an agriculture zone.
