Escambia Commission Agrees On Adjusted Hybrid Plan For OLF-8
March 12, 2021
The Escambia County Commission agreed Thursday to move forward with what’s known as the “Adjusted Hybrid Plan” for the OLF-8 property on Nine Mile Road in Beulah.
The plan is a combination of commerce, residential and amenities. It allocates 271 acres to commerce and industrial; 61 acres to residential including duplexes, townhomes and multifamily; 47 acres to a mixed-use center such as residential over retail and office over retail; and 45 acres to trails and public amenities such as a post office, school, day care and community garden.
DPZ CoDesign, the design firm for the project, will move forward with developing specifics including zoning, infrastructure and density plans. That phase is expected to be completed by about Memorial Day.
The commission has also discussed impact fees for construction on OLF-8 to pay for roads and other infrastructure on the site.

Interesting!!!
Where is the sec 8 housing Comm May? All the poor people are left out again…I guess we get to WORK at the TCBY that will be there….
Boy they can’t leave an acre of land empty, give it to industry and developers. Then when it floods not my fault.
Consider a residential airpark to relieve general aviation congestion at the international
airport. Also consider working with the University of West Florida to use the Airpark to train their students for their new Aviation program. In addition, one aircraft company I am aware of is interested in relocating their assembly plant to this area and would create new jobs. This would serve as a win/win situation for many residents in the area.
