Remainder of Public Comments is limited to three (3) minutes each.
Daniel Seaman discussed getting the fire stations built and looking into the
welfare of emergency services in the developing areas. Mr. Seaman asked if
there has been any thought in getting bonds and getting emergency service stuff
built now so that as the homes come in the services are already there.
Mayor Alfin shared that bonding can be discussed, sensitive to interest rates,
and that the item would likely be a referendum so that residents can have a
chance to participate.
M. DISCUSSION BY CITY COUNCIL OF MATTERS NOT ON THE AGENDA
Council Member Pontieri shared gratitude to Veteran's and recognized Chief
Berryhill for commitment to our community,
Council Member Heighter asked if there are any future plans for a pediatric ward
in local hospitals.
Mayor Alfin shared that the topic is not typically part of City infrastructure and
that the City has a very good relationship with the hospital. Mayor Alfin
suggested that Council Member Heighter meet with staff so that they may fill her
in on the statistics that are required to make that model. Mayor Alfin reiterated
that this is a decision of the hospital and that the City is not a participant in the
healthcare network.
Vice Mayor Danko shared that the question was raised and the response from
Advent Health representatives was that it was not practical
Council Member Heighter wished all Veterans a happy Veteran's Day and
thanked them for their service.

This is a legislative item.
UPDATED BACKGROUND FROM THE SEPTEMBER 19, 2023, BUSINESS MEETING:
City Council heard the first reading of this item at their September 19, 2023, Business
Meeting. Staff transmitted the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment to various State
agencies for review. There were no comments or objections to the proposed amendment.
ORIGINAL BACKGROUND FROM THE SEPTEMBER 19, 2023, BUSINESS MEETING:
The subject area of this amendment is a total 375.6+/- acre site located 3 miles south of State
Road 100 on the westside of Seminole Woods Blvd. The application includes a proposed
Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment for recently annexed 330.8+/- acre area (which
was adopted by City Council at their August 15, 2023, meeting) from its current Flagler County
designations of Residential Low Density/Rural Estate and Conservation to City of Palm Coast
designations of Residential and Conservation. There is an additional 44.8+/- acre parcel with
a current designation of City Residential that will be part of the Cascades Planning Area and
will be subject to a site-specific policy to limit development in the Planning Area to 850
dwelling units.
In addition to the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, there is a companion zoning map
amendment for the subject area to amend the current Flagler County designations of Planned
Unit Development, & New Rural Communities to City of Palm Coast designation of Single
Family Residential-1, Multi-Family Residential-2, and Preservation.
63
In 2005 (while the entire subject area was within unincorporated Flagler County), the FLUM
designation for the Cascades was amended to its current Flagler County designations of
Residential Low Density/Rural Estate and Conservation. After approval of the FLUM
amendment a PUD Agreement was approved by Flagler County in 2005 (called the Cascades
at Grand Landings).
The PUD agreement covered an area of 696+/- acres and permitted 416 single-family
residential units along with 20,000 sq. ft. clubhouse and other recreational amenities. As part
of the FLUM and PUD agreement approval, approximately 354 acres of mainly wetlands and
environmentally sensitive areas was transferred to Flagler County in 2005. No development
commenced within the Cascades PUD area.
The proposed amendment was reviewed for the following:
Analysis of the proposed amendment’s impacts on public facilities and
infrastructure. Consistent with the required analysis to compare the proposed land
use designation with the existing land use designation, staff compared the current
maximum potential development (using the approved PUD entitlements-416 dwelling
units) against the proposed potential development (850 dwelling units) to determine
impacts on public facilities and infrastructure. The proposed amendment will have an
increase on the demand for services and infrastructure. Consistent with the
development process outlined in the Land Development Code, a concurrency
determination will be conducted during the site plan/platting process. Any deficiency
found in the infrastructure system may require the developer to pay a proportionate
share of the improvements necessary to address the deficiency.
Impacts on the environmental/cultural resources. The proposed amendment will
not have impacts on any significant environmental or cultural resources. A small
section of the subject area is within Flood Zone A, any development within this area
will require compensatory storage within the same defined floodplain’s hydrologic sub
basin as the placement of the fill pursuant to section 10.02.11B Land Development
Code.
There are no other identifiable impacts to the environmental and cultural resources in
the subject area as analyzed in the staff report.
Finally, it is important to note that the proposed amendment will designate 67+/- acres
as Conservation on the FLUM. This is consistent with Comprehensive Plan Policies
6.1.9.9 and 6.1.10.6, all optimal quality wetlands that are larger than 10 acres or are
connected to a system that is larger than 10 acres are to be designated as
Conservation on the Future Land Use Map.
Compatibility with surrounding land uses. The proposed FLUM designations are
generally consistent with the surrounding properties.
Finally, the proposed amendment is consistent with comprehensive plan policies regarding:
Directing development where existing infrastructure is available, and
Designation of wetland systems and other environmentally sensitive land as
Conservation on the FLUM.
Planning and Land Development Regulation Board (PLDRB) Public Hearing
The PLDRB held a public hearing on August 20 regarding this application. Members of the
public spoke to express concerns about stormwater impacts and buffering from potential
64
multi-family development. A PLDRB Board member spoke regarding concerns about the
increase in impact from the proposed development. The PLDRB voted 4-1 to recommend
approval of the proposed amendment.
Recommended Action:
THE PLANNING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATION BOARD (PLDRB) FINDS
APPLICATION NO. 5109 CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND
RECOMMENDS THAT CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THE FLUM AMENDMENT FROM
RESIDENTIAL LOW DENSITY/RURAL ESTATE & CONSERVATION (FLAGLER COUNTY
DESIGNATIONS) TO RESIDENTIAL & CONSERVATION (CITY OF PALM COAST
DESIGNATIONS). ALONG WITH A SITE-SPECIFIC POLICY TO LIMIT DEVELOPMENT

UPDATED BACKGROUND FROM THE SEPTEMBER 19, 2023, BUSINESS MEETING:
This item was heard by City Council at the September 19, 2023, Business Meeting. There
have been no changes to the item since the first reading.
ORIGINAL BACKGROUND FROM THE SEPTEMBER 19, 2023 BUSINESS MEETING:
The applicant is proposing to rezone 375 +/- acres of vacant land located on the NW side
of Seminole Woods Blvd. about ½ mile NE of US Highway 1 from the Planned Unit
Development (PUD) and New Rural Communities (NRC) Zoning Districts to the Single-
Family Residential-1 (SFR-1), Multi-Family Residential – 2 (MFR-2) and Preservation
(PRS) Zoning Districts.
The fishhook shaped property (44 +/- acres with a current zoning of New Rural
Communities) on the northern end of the project is owned by JTL Grand Landings
Development, LLC (Fishhook Parcel) who purchased it in July 2014. Later, it was annexed
into the City and has a current City FLUM designation of Residential. The remaining four
parcels (331 +/- acres with a current zoning of Planned Unit Development) are owned by
Byrndog PCP, LLC who purchased the land in August 2022. These four parcels were
approved for annexation into the City on August 15, 2023. A separate FLUM application
for these four parcels requests that the parcels be redesignated Residential except for
some key wetland areas that would be designated Conservation. It should be noted that
105
the FLUM application also includes the Fishhook Parcel and offers a maximum cap of 850
residential units to be developed throughout the five parcels.
JTL Grand Landings Development, LLC wants to rezone their Fishhook Parcel to SFR-1
and Byrndog PCP, LLC wants to rezone their four parcels to SFR-1, MFR-2 and PRS. The
areas designated Residential on the FLUM would be rezoned to SFR-1 except for two
separated areas with frontage along Seminole Woods Boulevard that would be rezoned to
MFR-2.
The developer is preserving key wetland areas of about 67 +/- acres and will be
constructing single-family homes with a minimum lot width of 50 feet and developing two
separated multi-family projects along Seminole Woods Boulevard. This is not leap-frog
development as ITT single-family lots have already been developed on the opposite side
of Seminole Woods Boulevard and to the southwest of the project is the Integra Woods
apartment community. Both of the proposed multi-family projects will be across from single-
family homes that back up to Seminole Woods Boulevard (a minor arterial roadway) so the
residents of those single-family homes will be subject to some additional vehicular noise
along this major roadway and some impact from the proposed multi-family projects. The
two multi-family communities will be required to provide a 25-foot wide Landscape Buffer
“G” which will assist in providing some needed screening between the single-family
residences and the multi-family residences.
Public Participation: The developer notified the neighboring property owners of a
neighborhood meeting that was held on August 9, 2023, at 6:00 P.M. at the Hijacker’s
restaurant adjacent to the Flagler County Airport. Eight neighbors, the developer’s two
representatives and two City staff members attended. Neighbors voiced concerns
especially with the two proposed MFR-2 zoned areas directly across Seminole Woods
Boulevard. Three signs along Seminole Woods Boulevard will be erected and news ads
will be run prior to each public hearing.
Planning and Land Development Regulation Board (PLDRB) Meeting: The PLDRB
reviewed this application at its regularly scheduled meeting at 5:30 PM on August 16th,
2023, and by a 5 – 0 vote recommended approval to City Council. No one from the public
spoke during the rezoning public hearing but two neighboring residents did speak against
the overall project during the accompanying FLUM Amendment public hearing, which was
heard just before this item.
106
Changes Since the Planning and Land Development Regulation Board Meeting: The
applicant has tried to address the concerns of the neighbors and the PLDRB members by
proposing two voluntary conditions that would be placed as additional site specific policies
in their FLUM Amendment request. The first condition would require all of the 25’ wide
Landscape Buffer “G” to not overlap with the 40’ wide drainage easement located on the
NW side of Seminole Woods Boulevard (per the LDC it could overlap 12.5’ into the
drainage easement). The applicant also offered to provide a minimum setback of 150 feet
for all residential buildings in the proposed MFR-2 area from the southeast edge of the 40’
drainage easement. To compensate the developer for this reduced area for the location of
their MFR-2 buildings they have requested that their proposed MFR-2 area be expanded
along all of their frontage along Seminole Woods Boulevard which increases the MFR-2
area about five acres. Staff believes the applicant’s recent changes makes the project
generally more compatible with the existing single-family homes across Seminole Woods
Boulevard as the multi-family buildings would have a minimum separation of 245 feet from
the rear setback line of those single-family homes in lieu of 147.5 feet.
Recommended Action:
THE PLANNING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATION BOARD RECOMMENDED
APPROVAL TO CITY COUNCIL TO REZONE 375 +/- ACRES FROM THE PLANNED
UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) AND NEW RURAL COMMUNITIES (NRC) ZONING
DISTRICTS TO THE SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL-1 (SFR-1), MULTI-FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL–2 (MFR-2) AND PRESERVATION (PRS) ZONING DISTRICTS

PROPOSED CHANGES FROM APPLICANT SINCE JUNE 6, 2023:
The applicant has met with staff numerous times to potentially address City Council’s
concerns voiced at the June 6, 2023, second reading on this item. Essentially, the applicant
has dropped residential uses from Tract 17 and added IND-1 uses to Tracts 4, 13A, 13B,
and 13C that are all located along the east side of US Highway 1.
CITY COUNCIL SECOND READING ON JUNE 6, 2023:
The City Council continued this MPD Amendment with concerns about allowing residential
uses on Tract 17 and a lack of tracts with allowed IND-1 uses along US Highway 1.
CITY COUNCIL FIRST READING ON MAY 16, 2023:
The City Council approved the accompanying 9th Amendment to the Palm Coast Park DRI
via Resolution 2023-52 and approved this 5th Amendment to the Palm Coast Park MPD at
its regularly scheduled meeting on May 16, 2023.
ORGINAL BACKGROUND FROM THE MAY 16, 2023, BUSINESS MEETING:
The Declarant for the Palm Coast Park MPD, Byrndog PCP, LLC, has requested this 5th
Amendment to the Palm Coast Park MPD Development Agreement (MPD DA) which
encompasses a variety of changes to land uses on some tracts and some development
standards.
The Declarant is proposing to change the MPD Uses, DRI Land Uses and/or LDC Zoning
Categories in Table 4-1 of the MPD DA.
a. On Tracts 5A - 5E also allow Industrial MPD Uses using LDC Zoning Category
188
of IND-1.
b. On Tract 13A change DRI Uses from Business/Institutional to Mixed Uses.
c. On Tract 15 change MPD Uses from Flex Uses to Residential Low Density,
change DRI Uses from Business/Institutional to Residential, and update
applicable LDC Zoning Categories.
d. On Tract 17 add Institutional to MPD Uses, change DRI Uses from
Business/Institutional to Mixed-Uses, add PSP as a LDC Zoning Category, and
clarify that a RV/Boat Storage Facility operated as a business could be allowed
in COM-2 as a Special Exception.
e. On Tracts 21A and 21B also allow MPD Uses of Residential High Density,
change DRI Uses to Mixed-Uses and add various LDC Zoning Categories.
The Declarant is also proposing changing the MPD Exhibit “B” MPD Master Plan as
follows:
a. Split Tract 21 into Tracts 21A and 21B.
b. Change Tract 15 from Flex Uses to Residential Low Density.
c. Also allow IND-1 uses on Tracts 5A – 5E.
The Declarant is also proposing adding some light industrial development standards and
reduced the maximum building height on Tract 21A from 80 feet to 50 feet.
Planning and Land Development Regulation Board (PLDRB): The PLDRB reviewed this at its
regularly scheduled meeting on April 19, 2023, and by a 5 – 0 vote, found it in compliance
with the Comprehensive Plan and recommended approval to City Council without any
changes.
Recommended Action:

UPDATED BACKGROUND FROM THE OCTOBER 10, 2023, WORKSHOP:
This item was heard by City Council at their October 10, 2023, City Council Workshop. The
attached Ordinance has been updated to reflect the changes requested by City Council.
ORIGINAL BACKGROUND FROM THE OCTOBER 10, 2023, WORKSHOP:
The City of Palm Coast is granted the authority, under § 2(b)m Article VIII, of the State
Constitution, to exercise any power for municipal purposes, except when expressly prohibited
by law.
The City Council desires to amend City of Palm Coast Ordinance No. 03-31, as amended by
Ordinance No. 2004-14 codified as Chapter 35, Nuisances, Offenses, and Miscellaneous
Provisions, Article III, Solicitation, Division 2, Peddlers and Hawkers, Section 35-163, License
Required; Application; Issuance; Term, of the Code of Ordinances, City of Palm Coast,
Florida (“Code”) in order to update the application process, requirements and criteria for
obtaining a solicitor’s license necessary to conduct door-to-door solicitation within the City’s
jurisdictional limits.
Section 501.022, Florida Statues outlines the permitting process counties must follow when
issuing door-to-door solicitation permits, indicates what information must be included in an
application, and provides a nondiscretionary licensure process.
Section 501.022, Florida Statutes, grants county clerks the authority to issue solicitation
permits within counties but does not preempt a municipality from establishing its own
permitting or licensure requirements for solicitors. See Op. Att’y Gen. Fla. 86-86 (1986).
The City Council finds that updating the City’s licensing process for door-to-door solicitation to
make it consistent with the county permitting requirements as outlined in Section 501.022,
Florida Statutes, will aid in establishing an efficient and uniform process of issuing solicitation
licenses within the City.
261
There has been a recent increase in unlicensed solicitors in the City, so amending the
Ordinance at this time will provide additional safety measures to our residents.
The City Council of the City of Palm Coast, Florida, hereby finds this Ordinance to be in the
best interest of the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Palm Coast.
Recommended Action:
ADOPT ORDINANCE 2023-XX AMENDING CHAPTER 35, NUISANCES, OFFENSES, AND
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS, ARTICLE III OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES,

Background:
Council Priority:
A. Strong Resilient Economy
A municipal targeted industry feasibility study is important for several reasons:
Economic Development: Such studies help municipalities identify and prioritize industries
with the potential to generate economic growth and job opportunities within their region. By
understanding which industries align with their strengths and resources, municipalities can
strategically attract and support businesses in these sectors.
Job Creation: Targeted industry studies can lead to the creation of jobs, which can have a
positive impact on the local labor force and reduce unemployment rates. By focusing on
industries with growth potential, municipalities can encourage the establishment and
expansion of businesses that hire local residents.
Economic Diversification: Relying on a single industry can leave a municipality vulnerable
to economic downturns. By diversifying the local economy through targeted studies, a
municipality can mitigate the risks associated with overdependence on a particular sector.
Tax Revenue: Attracting businesses in specific industries can increase tax revenue for the
municipality. This additional revenue can be used to fund essential services and
infrastructure improvements, benefiting the entire community.
Improved Quality of Life: A targeted industry study can lead to the growth of industries that
improve the overall quality of life in a municipality. For example, attracting companies in
healthcare, technology, or advanced manufacturing can lead to advancements in healthcare
services, education, and a higher skilled workforce.
334
Talent Retention and Attraction: Identifying and supporting industries that require skilled
workers can help retain local talent and attract new talent to the area. This can strengthen
the labor force and contribute to a vibrant community.
Infrastructure Planning: Targeted industry studies can inform infrastructure development
plans. For example, if a municipality seeks to attract technology companies, it may need to
invest in high-speed internet access and technology parks. This ensures that the local
infrastructure aligns with the needs of the targeted industries.
Competitive Advantage: By conducting these studies, municipalities can gain a competitive
advantage in attracting businesses. They can tailor their incentives, workforce development
programs, and regulatory environment to meet the specific needs of the industries they are
targeting.
Sustainability and Resilience: Municipalities can use targeted industry studies to promote
industries that align with sustainability and resilience goals. For instance, promoting green
and renewable energy industries can contribute to environmental sustainability and reduce
the impact of climate change.
Community Engagement and Support: Involving the local community in the industry
targeting process can foster a sense of ownership and support. Residents may be more
willing to participate in initiatives that benefit the industries they are passionate about.
In summary, a municipal targeted industry study is important because it allows municipalities
to make informed decisions about which industries to focus on, leading to economic growth,
job creation, and a more diversified, resilient, and vibrant local economy. These studies can
help communities thrive and improve the overall quality of life for their residents.
