Planning Commission
This meeting was held on Jul 9, 2026. Its minutes aren't posted yet, so the summary below was written from the agenda before the meeting: it says what was planned, not what was decided. Decisions and votes will appear once the minutes are.
Summary
The Walton County Planning Commission met on July 9, 2026, to review several land-use and development matters. The commission approved minutes from the previous meeting, continued two items to August 13 (a land use restriction agreement for property on US 331 South and a hotel development at 30 Avenue), and approved a final order for an RV park development on 9.04 acres at the intersection of US 331 South and Wagon Wheel Road in District 2.
Why it matters
These decisions shape how land in Walton County develops and what can be built where. The Wagon Wheel RV Park approval allows a new 57-site facility to move forward, while the continuances for the hotel and land use agreement mean those projects will require further review before proceeding.
