Rezoning Request Sparks Appeal Over Destin Property
Destin residents challenge a plan by Mattie M Kelly to rezone 13,000 square feet behind WMMK from Residential Urban Single to Business Retail ahead of a May 16 Planning Commission hearing. Neighbors warn spot zoning could lower nearby property values while Kelly argues the three-fourths surrounding area would keep the site in harmony with existing businesses. Local officials note the BR district is restrictive and anticipate a heated debate.
