Presentation 2. Ordinance (Redline and Clean Copy) 3. Business Impact Statement Background: This is a legislative item. UPDATED BACKGROUND FROM THE JANUARY 20, 2026, BUSINESS MEETING: City Council heard the first reading of the item at the January 20, 2026 Business Meeting. The Ordinance has been updated per Council direction and the redline and clean copies are attached to this item. ORIGINAL BACKGROUND FROM THE JANUARY 20, 2026, BUSINESS MEETING: §509.102 Florida Statutes (F.S.) provides regulations and preemptions regarding Mobile Food Dispensing Vehicles and Temporary Commercial Kitchens (MFDV). The law preempts licensing to the state and prohibits municipalities from being able to prohibit MDFVs from the entirety of their jurisdiction. The City of Palm Coast allows for MFDVs within the City through a special event permit, regulated by the Code of Ordinances Chapter 28 Article II. Due to the City’s inclusion of MFDVs in special events, the City is in compliance with the requirement of §509.102 F.S. to not prohibit the use in the entirety of the city. Food Truck Tuesday has been a staple in Central Park since 2013. It happens on the third Tuesday of every month with a constantly rotating roster of food trucks. Each month a beneficiary is selected from various local non-profit organizations as a community fundraiser. To address the growing demand of MFDVs within the City staff was asked to analyze the feasibility of adopting an ordinance to regulate MFDV operations outside of special event permits. A draft ordinance was presented to the City Council on October 28th, 2025. City Council provided direction to modify the draft ordinance to additionally provide the ability for MFDVs to operate as an accessory use to existing businesses. The updated draft ordinance was emailed out to a group of approximately 65 MFDV vendors that have previously registered with the City for inclusion in MFDV operations during Special Event Permits. The group’s feedback was requested, and they were invited to the Planning and Land Development Regulation Board (PLDRB) meeting on December 17, 2025. That stakeholder group was also invited to the City Council business meetings for MFDVs. The PLDRB voted unanimously to recommend approval of the draft ordinance with a recommendation to strike the six-hour limit on private catered events and to have any amplified noise/music be regulated by the City’s noise ordinance similar to a bar or restaurant.

Boundary Survey and Title Opinion 12. Business Impact Estimate Background: This is a quasi-judicial item, please disclose any ex parte communication Request: James Stowers, Esquire, as agent for CP and HG Residential Lots LLC (a subsidiary of ICI Homes), is proposing to amend the CP and HG Residential Lots LLC MPD. The proposed MPD Amendment would:  Increase residential entitlements from the existing 58 dwelling units to 71 units, resulting in an increase of 13 dwelling units.  Reduce the minimum lot size of 8,250 square feet to 5,500 square feet.  Reduce the minimum internal lot width from 60 feet to 50 feet and reduce the minimum lot width on the north and west perimeter lots from 80 feet to 60 feet.  Reduce the minimum side interior building setback from 7.5 feet to 5 feet and the minimum side street setback from 15 feet to 10 feet. As this MPD is resultant of a Settlement Agreement, the request also amends the maximum number of residential units the MPD may have from 58 dwelling units to 71 units and replaces the attached concept plan with the updated proposed concept plan. Background: The City adopted the 2020 Comprehensive Plan on April 6, 2004, which redesignated the land from Flagler County Residential-Low Density (which allowed 1-3 units/acre) to City Greenbelt (which allows 1 unit/acre). The pending property owner at that time (MHK of Volusia, Inc., a subsidiary of ICI Homes) filed a challenge to the state’s Department of Community Affairs on June 29, 2004. The litigation was filed with the Division of Administrative Hearings, Case # 04-2265GM. In June 2009, MHK of Volusia County Inc. transferred ownership to the current owner CP and HG Residential Lots LLC (another subsidiary of ICI Homes). Based on the outcome of that challenge, CP and HG Residential Lots LLC and the City reached a Settlement Agreement (attached) that is dated March 20, 2012. This agreement resulted in a land swap to protect existing wetlands, a rezoning, and limited the residential entitlements for the land to 58 dwelling units. The property was rezoned to MPD on the same day as the Settlement Agreement and the Development Agreement is attached. If City Council approves the requested MPD Amendment, an amendment to the Settlement Agreement will be necessary. Section 11 allows for amendment to the Settlement Agreement based on mutual consent of CP and HG Residential Lots LLC and the City of Palm Coast. The draft Settlement Agreement and Development Agreements have been attached as part of the overall agenda item. Project Description: The property owner requests to increase the residential density from 58 dwelling units (DU) to 71 DU, which is an increase of 13 DU (or 22.4 percent). The existing gross density of the property owner’s land is 1.56 DU per acre. The requested increase would create an overall gross density of 1.91 DU per acre. The existing MPD DA requires the northerly and westerly perimeter lots to have an 80-foot lot width by a 110-foot depth, while internal lots are allowed a 60-foot lot width by a 110-foot depth. The request to modify perimeter lot width to 60 feet and internal lot width to 50 feet results in lots that are 25 and 16.7 percent narrower than currently allowed, respectively. The reduction in internal and side street setbacks (7.5 and 15 feet respectively) to five feet and 10 feet result in a narrowing of spacing between the proposed residences of 33.33 percent and places corner lots the same 33.33 percent closer to a side street. Public Participation: The applicant hosted a neighborhood meeting as required by LDC Section 2.05.02 at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday November 20, 2025, in the conference room of the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel. The applicant also met the public notice requirements of LDC Section 2.05.03. 47 members of the public signed the sign-in sheet for the neighborhood meeting hosted by the applicant. City staff attended to be on-site to address process related questions and counted approximately ±55 individuals, not including the three representatives from the developer and City staff. Documentation summarizing the neighborhood meeting has been attached to the agenda item. Staff additionally received two emails from the public requesting access to application materials on November 5, 2025, which staff provided on the same day.

Resolution 2. Conceptual Plan Background: As Town Center continues to evolve into the vibrant destination originally envisioned by the Community Development District, the Stage at Town Center remains a centerpiece of activity for our residents and visitors. The City’s plan proposes the creation of a dedicated food truck vendor area adjacent to the Stage. The design calls for approximately 9,600 square feet of paved surface accessed from Central Avenue, providing space for up to eight vendors, a patron queuing zone, and a centrally located seating area. This layout will better serve guests attending City-hosted events and provide a defined, safe, and attractive environment that connects to the existing stage and restroom facilities. The Town Center at Palm Coast Community Development District have offered a $55,000 donation to the City of Palm Coast in partnership for the proposed enhancements to Town Center.

Resolution 2. Land Mitigation Strategy Plan http://www.palmcoastgov.com/fileshare/sent/761d6fff- 599e-477c-a2b9-acd0f890d470 Background: The Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) is a document developed and managed by the Emergency Management Office, to ensure compliance with their accreditation program and as a requirement to maintain eligibility to apply for funding consideration under specific federal grant programs. The LMS outlines Flagler County’s strategy towards identifying community disaster risks and hazards that also identifies the processes to prioritize funding for projects that will reduce those risks. The LMS, which must be submitted at least every 5 years, applies to the entirety of Flagler County, including its municipalities; all of whom were a part of the update process. The LMS is key to ensuring that a coordinated system is in place to mitigate critical assets from the impacts of future disasters. Chapter 27P-22, F.A.C. and Section 322 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act 42 U.S.C. 5165, as amended, outline the processes for application, project selection, and distribution of funds under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), to include the minimum components of an LMS. To qualify to apply for HMGP funds, each county must have a FEMA approved LMS and a formal LMS Working Group. The State of Florida has delegated authority, from FEMA, to review and approve a County’s LMS.
