Auditor Ernest Ellison's performance review finds Florida coastal programs work poorly, with policies often in conflict across Natural Resources, Community Affairs, and Environmental Regulations. While development along Highway 98 raises concern, the CCCL rollout remains incomplete, existing in only five of 24 coastal counties.
The auditor general criticizes older setback lines in Okaloosa and statewide growth policies as inadequate to curb coastal development. He urges an interim control line to expand the state’s jurisdiction, noting cumulative impacts from multiple small developments can exceed single large projects. Lawmakers ponder reforms amid ongoing debate.
Destin faces a string of charter problems after six months as a city. Officials appeal to Tallahassee for relief as the Legislature’s language governs the city’s limits and tax rules.

Okaloosa County officials discuss parking provisions in zoning amid new condo projects. Developers weigh off site lots to satisfy 400 foot rule while balancing safety, aesthetics, and lodging access. Zell notes trend toward intermixed and tiered parking and cites examples in Destin and other Florida cities.
