UPDATED BACKGROUND FROM THE AUGUST 5, 2025, BUSINESS MEETING:
No changes have been made to the item since first reading.
ORIGINAL BACKGROUND FROM THE AUGUST 5, 2025, BUSINESS MEETING:
Request: Curt Wimpée as agent for 15 Hargrove LLC, is proposing to rezone ±36.65 acres
of vacant land located on the east side of Hargrove Lane from the Light Industrial and
Warehousing (IND-1) Zoning District to the Heavy Industrial (IND-2) Zoning District in order
for the property owner to develop the subject parcel with a proposed Concrete Batch Plant.
Background: The property owner purchased the vacant subject property in July 2020 under
the business identity of JB Gelman Companies, LLC. JB Gelman Companies, LLC’s name
was changed, via an articles of amendment to the articles of organization filed with the State
of Florida, to 15 Hargrove LLC shortly after purchasing the property in 2020. The subject
property is part of the Hargrove Industrial Park and is current zoned for IND-1 uses. It is
designated as Industrial on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM).
Previously the property owner had received a development order for luxury car garage
condos and flex industrial spaces with a total of 221,365 square feet of floor area ratio under
Application # 5530. This Development Order was scheduled to expire in February 2025 but
was extended for one year via Extension Application # 6120, as such this development order
is still active.
Project Description: Per discussion with the applicant the property owner is no longer
considering developing the property with the approved Development Order and is instead
requesting the rezoning in order to develop the property with a Concrete Batch Plant.
Concrete Batch Plants are a specified heavy industrial use allowed within the IND-2 zoning
district subject to the regulations provided by the Unified Land Development Code (LDC)
Section 4.14 – Industrial Uses. This rezoning application is conceptual in nature, and if
approved by the City Council the applicant will be required to submit for a Technical Site
Plan prior to development to ensure compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, LDC, and
any other local, state, or federal regulation or law. The actual size of the proposed Concrete
Batch Plant will be determined during the Technical Site Plan Application. For the purposes
of analyzing the potential for increases on traffic, the proposed use will be evaluated based
on the approved square-footage of floor area ratio (221,365 square feet) from the active
development order.
Public Participation: The applicant hosted a neighborhood meeting as required by Unified
Land Development Code (LDC) Section 2.05.02 at 5:30 p.m. Thursday May 29th, 2025, in
the meeting room of the Flagler County Public Library. The applicant also met the public
notice requirements of LDC Section 2.05.03.
Six members of the public attended the neighborhood meeting. Issues of concern from the
neighborhood meeting dealt with the potential amount of traffic on Hargrove Grade and
Hargrove Lane, upkeep of the road due to increased industrial dump trucks and concrete
mixers on the road, dust and particulate matter, and the potential for their property value to
decrease.
Staff has not received further public participation regarding the project as of drafting this staff
report.
Planning and Land Development Regulation Board Meeting:
The Planning and Land Development Regulation Board (PLDRB) reviewed this application
at its regularly scheduled meeting at 5:30 PM on June 18th, 2025. After discussion of the
request, the PLDRB voted 3 – 3 to recommend denial of the rezoning. After the failure of
that motion, they voted 3 – 3 to recommend approval of the rezoning. The rezoning is
forwarded to the City Council without a majority recommendation by the PLDRB.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
THE PLANNING AND LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATION BOARD (PLDRB) VOTED 3 –
3 TO RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THE REZONING. AFTER THE FAILURE OF THAT
MOTION, THEY VOTED 3 – 3 TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REZONING. THE
REZONING IS FORWARDED TO THE CITY COUNCIL WITHOUT A MAJORITY
RECOMMENDATION BY THE PLDRB. THE COUNCIL MAY FIND APPLICATION #6253
CONSISTENT WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, THE UNIFIED LAND DEVELOPMENT
CODE, AND APPROVE THE REQUESTED ZONING MAP AMENDMENT FROM LIGHT

UPDATED BACKGROUND FROM THE AUGUST 12, 2025, WORKSHOP MEETING:
City Council received a presentation on this item at the August 12, 2025, Workshop Meeting.
No changes have been made to the item.
ORIGINAL BACKGROUND FROM THE AUGUST 12, 2025, WORKSHOP MEETING:
Florida Statutes mandate a coordinated planning process between regional water supply
plans prepared by the water management districts pursuant to Chapter 373, Florida Statutes
(F.S.), and comprehensive plans prepared by local governments pursuant to Chapter 163.
Specifically, local governments must address in their comprehensive plan the water supply
sources necessary to meet and achieve existing and projected water use demand for the
established planning period, considering the applicable regional water supply plan prepared
pursuant Section 373.709, F.S.
The St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) approved the Northeast Florida
Regional Water Supply Plan (NEFRWSP), as required by state statutes in Dec. 2023. Since
that time, the City has coordinated with the SJRWMD to update the City’s Water Supply
Facilities Work Plan (WSFWP).
As required by state statutes, the WSFWP includes recognizing the current and future water
demand from both within the City as well as entities with an agreement with the City for
water supply. The projected water demand to 2050 is shown in the table below. These
population projections and the projected demand are consistent with the assumptions used
in the 2050 Comprehensive Plan.

1The projected population and water demand figures reflect both retail customers and bulk water
agreements outside city limits.
2Traditional water supply includes groundwater from the Confined Surficial Aquifer and Upper
Floridan Aquifer and the amounts reflect the allocation requested in the CUP. modification application.
The existing CUP allocation for District continues to authorize the allocation use of 2,509.39 million
gallons per year (mgy) 6.875 million gallons per day (MGD) annual average of groundwater from the
confined surficial aquifer, 1,512.9 MGY (4.15 MGD, annual average) of groundwater from the upper
Floridan aquifer and 1,642.5 MGY (4.5 MGD, annual average) as an alternative water source from the
brackish upper Floridan aquifer for public supply use (household, commercial/industrial, irrigation,
water utility, bulk exports, membrane treatment, unaccounted for) through 204150.
3Alternative water supply includes brackish groundwater from the Upper Floridan Aquifer and Lower
Floridan Aquifer, surface water, treated concentrate and reclaimed wastewater.
aThe City received a CUP permit with a 2015 allocation of 11.02 MGD.
The future year population projections represent a decrease from the projections provided in
the last update of the WSFWP in 2018 (approximately 12.5% less persons in 2035). This
decrease in population projection in turn reflects the decrease in the water demand and
need for alternative water supply in the updated WSFWP.
The City currently has a Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) for 15.525 Million Gallons/Day
(MGD). The City is in the process of modifying the current Consumptive Use Permit (CUP) to
add an allocation of alternative supply to meet the projected demands through 2035. The
plan for additional water supply includes a request for additional fresh water as safely
allowed by modeling and the resulting impact analysis as well as alternative sources as
described below.
As provided in the water demand table above, the City will seek to draw 2.2 MGD from
alternative supply source by 2030 and an additional 2.3 MGD by 2035. This alternative water
supply source is expected to potentially include brackish groundwater from the Upper
Floridan Aquifer and Lower Floridan Aquifer, surface water, treated concentrate, and
reclaimed wastewater.
The City of Palm Coast staff continues to work very closely with SJRWMD to identify
potential alternative water sources. The following actions are on-going and are the result of
continued coordination between the SJRWMD and the City.
The City has implemented projects to recover the drinking water byproduct (DWB) or
concentrate generated from the WTP No. 2 and WTP No. 3 membrane softening process to
be utilized as an additional alternative water source. The DWB is being treated to be utilized
as finished drinking water. The City is diverting the DWB from WTP No. 3 and blending it
with WTP No. 1 raw water prior to treatment at WTP No. 1. At WTP No. 2, the City is treating
the DWB produced from the membrane softening process with lime softening followed by
microfiltration to recover the DWB as drinking water. Both projects have eliminated the
wasteful discharge of DWB to surface waters and could ultimately recover up to about 1.95
MGD of water as drinking water or as raw water.
The City has installed a reuse irrigation system along both sides of U.S. Highway 1 in order
to provide up to 1 MGD of reuse for aquifer recharge. The reuse water for this system can be
sourced from either WWTP No. 1 or WWTP No. 2.
The City plans to investigate additional means of aquifer recharge utilizing advanced treated
wastewater from WWTP No. 2. This method of indirect potable reuse has the potential of
providing up to 2 MGD of additional fresh allocation in advance of utilizing the more costly
brackish water in the upper Floridan aquifer.
The City has completed an aquifer performance test of the brackish Upper Floridan Aquifer
system in the northern wellfield. The data acquired from these tests have shown through
modeling the feasible use of brackish water allocation in the CUP.
The SJRWMD staff has been very supportive of these short and long range plans and have
included them in the NEFRWSP. City staff’s strategy to have multiple avenues for additional
water supply provides for a reasonable and sustainable strategy to allow Palm Coast to
accommodate the anticipated demand into the future.
This update of the WSFWP accomplishes the following requirements consistent with Florida
Statutes:
1. Coordinate all aspects of its comprehensive plan with the appropriate water
management district’s regional water supply plan. [s. 163.3177(4)(a), F.S.]
2. Ensure that its future land use plan is based upon the availability of adequate water
supplies and public facilities and services. [s. 163.3177(6)(a), F.S.]
3. Ensure that adequate water supplies and facilities are available to serve new
development no later than the date on which the local government anticipates issuing
a certificate of occupancy and consult with the applicable water supplier prior to
approving a building permit, to determine whether adequate water supplies will be
available to serve the development by the anticipated issuance date of the certificate
of occupancy. [s. 163.3180(2), F.S.]
4. Revises the Infrastructure Element to:
a. Identify and incorporate alternative water supply projects identified in the
updated regional water supply plan, or the alternative project proposed by the
local government under s. 373.0361(7), F.S. [s.163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]
b. Identify the traditional and alternative water supply projects and the
conservation and reuse programs necessary to meet current and future water use
demands within the local government’s jurisdiction. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]
c. Update the water supply facilities work plan for at least a 10-year planning
period for construction of public, private, and regional water supply facilities,
which are identified in the element as necessary to serve existing and new
development. [s. 163.3177(6)(c), F.S.]
5. Revises the Five-Year Schedule of Capital Improvements to include water supply,
reuse, and conservation projects and programs to be implemented during the five-
year period [s. 163.3177(3)(a)4, F.S.].

This project consists of milling and resurfacing of the arterial roadway, Palm Coast Pkwy.
between US-1 and I-95. When scanned in 2022, the overall PCI of this half of the corridor
was between 78-80 and has since severely degraded. This segment of Palm Coast Pkwy.
was noted by the roadway consultant, Transmap, to be resurfaced in sections over the
course of 4 fiscal years ending in 2026 which matches our current schedule. In order to have
a more unform roadway and to encourage better pricing, staff combined the suggested
segments and created two separate projects, west of I-95 and east of I-95 to maintain the
average PCI of 76 on our arterial roadways. This will consist of milling 1.5 inches of asphalt
and replacing with 1.5 inches of asphalt to include, striping and utility valve/ manhole
adjustments. Arterial roadway work may include areas of base repair, utilizing deep milling
up to 8 inches and replacement of base material with asphalt. This project will also include
the extension of two turn lanes on the west end of Palm Coast Pkwy. for westbound traffic.
All paving operations will be performed overnight time hours from 8:00PM to 7:00 AM.
City staff is recommending approval for the asphalt milling and resurfacing for Palm Coast
Parkway to US 1. Work on these arterials will include milling, replacing asphalt to include,
striping and utility valve/ manhole adjustments. Arterial roadway work may include areas of
base repair, utilizing deep milling up to 8 inches and replacement of base material with
asphalt. This will also include the extension of two turn lanes.

The City of Palm Coast identified the Matanzas Woods Parkway & Palm Coast Parkway
Loop Road Project as a Legislative Priority. This multi-phase infrastructure project supports
long-range mobility planning, regional connectivity, and anticipated growth within the city.
Project Milestones:
• June 20, 2023: City Council approved a resolution authorizing the execution of a
design services contract with England-Thims & Miller, Inc. (ETM). The scope of
services included:
o Final (100%) roadway and bridge design for Phase 2;
o 30% design and plan development for Phases 2A, 3, and 4;
o Full (100%) design of the bridge in Phase 3 over the Florida East Coast
(FEC) Railroad.
• December 5, 2023: Staff presented an update to City Council regarding legislative
priorities, including the status of the Matanzas Woods Parkway Extension. Phase 2,
which extends the Parkway approximately 0.60 miles westward from its current
terminus west of U.S. Highway 1—including an elevated crossing over the FEC
Railroad—is in final permitting and is anticipated to begin construction in early 2026.
• May 29, 2024: The State-Funded Grant Agreement, associated with legislative
appropriation funding, was finalized and executed in coordination with the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT).
The city is advancing final design and permitting activities for subsequent project phases,
including:
• Phase 2A: Approximately 2.10 miles, extending west from Phase 2 and turning south
to terminate at the future Regional Activity Center’s northern entrance;
• Phase 4: Approximately 1.55 miles, extending the corridor south from the terminus of
Phase 2A;
• Phase 3 (portion): Approximately 1.45 miles south from Phase 4, terminating at
Hargrove Grade. This segment includes a grade-separated bridge crossing over the
FEC Railroad, for which 100% design plans have been completed as part of the
Phase 2 scope.
The entire corridor will be designed initially as a 2-lane rural roadway, with provisions for
future expansion to a 4-lane divided suburban roadway. The stormwater collection and
treatment systems will be designed to accommodate a potential 6-lane cross-section.
This item is to approve additional design services with England-Thims & Miller (RFSQ-SWE-
23-39) in the amount of $3,056,636.25 for the continuation of design services for phase 2A,
3, and 4 of the project. All of these expenses will be funded by DOT grant agreements.

1. Resolution
2. Interlocal Agreement (Redlined and Clean Copy)
Background:
This is a legislative item.
UPDATED BACKGROUND FROM THE AUGUST 5, 2025, BUSINESS MEETING:
On August 5, 2025, City Council adopted the ILA with the additional requirements that the
ILA be retroactive to 2016 and added changes to the last sentence in paragraph 3(b)(i). City
Attorney, Marcus Duffy, provided guidance on August 6, 2025, at a Joint Workshop between
the Flagler County Board of Commissioners (BCC) and City Council that the ILA cannot be
retroactive due to the notice requirements of F.S. 125.66(2)(b) and 166.041 (3)(a). The BCC
has accepted the changes to paragraph 3(b)(i) of the ILA and is expected to ratify the ILA at
their August 18, 2025, Commissioner Meeting.
ORIGINAL BACKGROUND FROM THE AUGUST 5, 2025, BUSINESS MEETING:
The Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act of 1969 (“Act”) as set forth in Section 163.01, Florida
Statutes (F.S.) contemplates Interlocal Agreements between governmental entities. The
purpose of the Act is to permit local governmental units to make the most efficient use of
their powers by enabling them to cooperate with other localities on a basis of mutual
advantage and thereby provide services and facilities in a manner and pursuant to forms of
governmental organization that will accord best with geographic, economic, population, and
other factors influencing the needs and development of local communities.
The purpose of this Interlocal Agreement is to provide a collaborative framework of airport
zoning regulations to review proposed developments within airport hazard areas in relation
to height and land use in incorporated areas of the City of Palm Coast and potential
developments on airport property in the unincorporated area of Flagler County.
The adoption of this Interlocal Agreement ensures compliance with the Section 333.03(1)b
requiring the City of Palm Coast to adopt Airport Protection Zoning Regulations due to the
underlying incorporated land that falls within a surface of the airport pursuant to the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), more particularly 14 CFR part 77.
The ILA invites Flagler County to provide comments during the development review of
projects within airport hazard areas that are incorporated into the City of Palm Coast to
determine whether or not the proposed height or use would present an airspace obstruction.
There is a permitting process as outlined in Section 333.025, F.S. Flagler County shall notify
the City of projects at the airport and allow the City to provide comments on projects that
expand the airport surfaces within 14 CFR part 77 or increase the noise generated by airport
operations beyond the established Airport Master Plan. Additionally, the City shall be able to
review projects that effect how the airport protection zoning regulations are applied or any
proposed amendments to the airport zoning regulations.

Background:
Council Priority:
D. Sustainable Environment and Infrastructure
May 28, 2024: Bunnell City Commission discussed possible action to close Lambert Ave
Railroad Crossing.
June 10, 2024: Bunnell City Commission discussed action to close Lambert Ave Railroad
Crossing. Motion to close Lambert Ave Railroad Crossing was carried unanimously by the
City of Bunnell City Commission.
The City of Bunnell has agreed to permanently close the Lambert Avenue Railroad Crossing
as a credit toward the City of Palm Coast’s request to establish a new above-grade railroad
crossing in connection with the Matanzas Woods Parkway Extension – Phase 2 Project.
This coordinated effort is part of the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railroad’s regulatory
requirement to offset the opening of a new crossing by closing an existing one, thereby
enhancing safety and operational efficiency for both roadway and rail traffic.
To formalize this arrangement, the City of Palm Coast is presenting an Interlocal Agreement
to the Council. Under the proposed agreement, the City of Palm Coast (as part of FDOT
grant) will assume full financial responsibility for all activities and expenses associated with
the closure of the Lambert Avenue crossing. In the event that the City of Bunnell secures
any grant funding related to the closure, those funds will be transferred in full to the City of
Palm Coast to offset incurred costs.
Approval of this agreement will facilitate compliance with FEC railroad agency requirements,
advance the implementation of the Matanzas Woods Parkway Extension – Phase 2 Project,
and promote cooperative intergovernmental relations between the two cities.
By adoption of this resolution, the City Manager is authorized to take all necessary actions to
implement this agreement and to negotiate and approve any non-substantive changes to the
Interlocal Agreement language consistent with the intent of this resolution.
