A proposed community of 529 homes 1.6 miles south of State Road 100 on the west side of Seminole Wood Boulevard earned the Palm Coast City Council's initial approval during a council meeting on Oct. 19.
The homes — 451 single-family detached sites, plus 78 townhomes — will be constructed on 239.6 acres of wooded land as part of a community that will be known as Seminole Palms.
The city government is also conducting a land swap with the developer, who has agreed to give the city property needed to construct an extension of Citation Boulevard, which will reduce the number of fire stations the city needs to construct in the southwestern portion of the city to maintain appropriate emergency response times. The developer will handle the road construction.
The council approved a Future Land Use Map amendment, rezoning, and impact fee prepayment agreement for the development with 4-1 votes Oct. 19.
Councilman Victor Barbosa cast the dissenting vote, saying he believed that the lot size range for the development includes lots that are too small. The lowest single-family-detached lot size would be 4,800 square feet, while townhome lots would be 2,000 square feet.
The construction will occur in phases, with the Citation Boulevard extension occurring first, followed by the construction of homes and an amenity center.
The proposal won a 6-0 vote of approval from the city's planning board on Sept. 15 before it came before the City Council.
