Planning & Land Development Regulation Board | August 19, 2026

The City of Palm Coast Planning and Land Development Regulation Board met on August 19, 2026, to discuss several key land use and development issues. The board reviewed and recommended approval of proposed amendments to the Unified Land Development Code, including changes to development order extensions, zoning request intervals, bonding requirements for projects, and regulations for data centers, which would require special exception approval by a supermajority of city council. The board also considered a rezoning application for the Red Mill Point MPD, converting an approved multifamily rental project into a fee-simple townhouse development with no increase in unit count, recommending approval to city council. A significant portion of the meeting focused on a comprehensive plan amendment and zoning map amendment for the Seminole Trace development, proposing to increase residential units from 416 to 743. Staff recommended denial of the MPD rezoning due to conflicts with development standards, and the board voted unanimously to recommend denial to city council. Public comments raised concerns about traffic, infrastructure capacity, environmental impacts, and community character. The meeting concluded with discussions on board member transitions and upcoming meetings.
