PANAMA CITY — Planning board members Monday approved a development plan that would put more condo units at a beachfront motel, but they tabled a request some members feared might allow developers to install a low-income housing project in the heart of the struggling area.
With some hesitation about the lack of specificity in the proposed agreement, the Panama City Planning Commission unanimously agreed to recommend to the City Commission a development plan for the Buccaneer Beach Motel that allow developers to add 117 units at the motel’s current location on Beach Drive near Florida Avenue.
