The Perdido Key
Neighborhood Plan was
a huge piece of work by many organizations, professionals and county
staff.
|
This is the vision of
the community for the future growth of Perdido Key. The County
Commissioners adopted it, however they have been slow to fund and
implement it. We are constantly bringing their attention back to the
commitments made in the PKNP since it originated
in 1997.
The Plan encourages responsible, quality growth on the Key with a balanced
mixture of residential and commercial development while maintaining its
character as a family oriented beach community. The Plan addresses land
use, hurricane evacuation, transportation, signage, community center,
public waterfront access areas and gateway areas.

The vision of the community for the
future growth of Perdido Key
In May of 2003, the Perdido Key Neighborhood Plan 2002 Update was adopted
by the County Commissioners and the community began to look forward to the
commitments made in the PKNP.
Unfortunately, the BCC did not choose to incorporate the PKNP into the
County’s Comprehensive Plan and therefore the Commission is under no legal
obligation to fund or implement the Plan. Until recently, very little
progress had been made. Perdido Key Association has worked diligently thru
the years to keep attention focused on the goals of the PKNP.
The
Water Tower was
repainted as originally planned.
The Eastern gateway at the
Baars Bridge has been landscaped and lighted.
There is a shared use
bike/pedestrian path on Johnson’s Beach Road, leading up to the park
entrance.
Three
beach access areas on the eastern end of the island are open, two of which
have restrooms.
A shared bike/pedestrian
path is partially completed on River Road and in the Siquenza Cove
neighborhood.
There is much more to be
done and PKA will continue to monitor and report on the progress.
