Developers hope to build up to 138 single-family homes on a vacant parcel of land south of the county airport and another 217 on a property south of the Boston Whaler (formerly Sea Ray) production facility off Roberts Road.
Palm Coast's Planning and Land Development Regulation Board voted 5-0 at a meeting Oct. 20 to approve a rezoning for the 70-acre Grand Landings North parcel to the south of the airport, about a mile east of Belle Terre Boulevard and north of the current terminus of Citation Boulevard.
The developer of that parcel has submitted to the city a conceptual site plan showing 138 single-family detached homes on lots of at least 6,000 square feet, with five stormwater ponds and a series of preservation areas along the development's eastern side.
The property was annexed from Flagler County into the city of Palm Coast in 2015, retaining is Flagler County zoning designations of industrial and Planned Unit Development.
The city planning board's decisions on Oct. 20 granted the property a city zoning designation of single-family residential.
The change reflects market demand for more residential development, said Jordan Myers, Palm Coast's environmental planning technician.
The other property is called Grand Reserve East, and is south of the Boston Whaler facility. It's about 141.5 acres and was also annexed from Flagler County to the city of Palm Coast, but more recently — in August of this year.
The city planning board voted 5-0 to approve the developer's application to set the property's zoning designation as single-family residential and preservation, and its Future Land Use Map designation as residential and conservation.
The planning board also approved a developer-proposed policy to limit development on the Grand Reserve East parcel to 217 units — a decrease from the previous maximum of 300 units that had been approved when the property was in the county's jurisdiction.
