A new Wawa could be coming to Palm Coast, replacing the three-story B. Paul Katz Professional Center.

The Wawa will be the second one in the area, after the first opened in 2020 on State Road 100. A site plan application for the new convenience store and gas station was submitted to the City of Palm Coast on Sept. 12.

The application is currently being reviewed by city staff, who are waiting on RMC Property Group, the applicant, to resubmit several documents for the application. City staff sent the request for resubmitted documentation on Oct. 19, and they are still awaiting resubmission.

The applicant will eventually have to go before the City of Palm Coast Planning and Land Development Regulation Board for approval, which will not meet again until January 2023.

The new gas station will be just over 5,600 square feet in size and sit directly across from the Race Trac. The plan was first reported by FlaglerLive.

Equity Holding Corp of Flagler, Inc. —owned by Paul Katz — currently owns the office building, which was built in 1986. According to the Flagler County Property Appraiser's website, the office building sits on 2.9 acres of land and is valued at $2 million.
