Sale and Master Planning of County-Owned Property on Berryhill Road

The Santa Rosa County Board of County Commissioners is requesting proposals for the sale and master planning of a 30-acre county-owned property on Berryhill Road. The property is currently zoned as Agricultural-Rural Residential but is scheduled to be rezoned to Town Center Core (TC-1) in March 2026. The successful proposer will be required to provide a conceptual master plan for the property, including a site design, land use distribution, building placement, and open space types. The proposal should also include a purchase price, proof of financial capacity, and a narrative addressing the project's feasibility, community benefit, and consistency with the TC-1 zoning and county vision. Some key features of the property include: • Approximately 30 acres of land • 1,327 feet of frontage along Berryhill Road • Current use: single-family residence and warehouse • Soils: flat uplands (Troup soil) • Flood zone: Zone X (low flood probability) • Utilities: public water, sewer, electric, cable, and telephone available • Easements: stormwater easement allowing dispersal of stormwater into an offsite county-owned retention pond The county is seeking a design that integrates the site's heritage oak trees and provides a mixed-use development with a maximum residential density of ten dwelling units per acre. The proposal should also consider the incorporation of roads, buildings, and open spaces around certain trees to maintain a mature canopy, protect root zones, prevent erosion and stormwater impacts, enhance biodiversity, reduce heat island effects, and create a distinctive, high-value development.
