FIRST SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT IN TOWN CENTER APPROVED
Town Center’s first single-family residential development won the Palm Coast City Council’s approval with a unanimous council vote in favor of the development’s final plat on Oct. 19.
The development, called the Gables at Town Center, will be built by Paytas Homes and consist of 208 houses on approximately 125 acres just south of Royal Palms Parkway, west of Lake Avenue.
“It’s been a really long time since we’ve had a final plat come before city council,” city Deputy Chief Development Officer Ray Tyner noted in a presentation about the development at the Oct. 19 council meeting.
Developers laid the infrastructure for residential development in Town Center around 2004, Tyner said.
The community will have three entrances: one on Lake Avenue, plus two more on roads that have not yet been built. Construction is already underway. The homes will be on 50-foot-wide lots. The community will not be gated.
COUNCIL GIVES INITIAL OK TO PROPOSED 529-HOME DEVELOPMENT NEAR AIRPORT
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.
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.
DEVELOPER DOWNSIZES PLANS, PROPOSING 295 HOMES INSTEAD OF 445
A developer who’d planned to build 445 homes — including 287 apartment units — on a 108-acre property at the northeast corner of Belle Terre Boulevard and Citation Boulevard has changed plans, now proposing up to 295 single-family homes on the same property instead.
The Palm Coast City Council voted 5-0 on Oct. 19 to approve a Future Land Use Map amendment and rezoning necessary for the change on the property, known as Flagler Village.

DeSantis touts Florida ports amid supply chain delays
With the White House saying incremental progress has been made in alleviating the bottleneck in the global supply chain, Gov. Ron DeSantis took another swipe Tuesday, Oct. 19, at the Biden administration as he pitched using Florida ports for cargo ships logjammed in California.
“We’re here. We have capacity,” DeSantis said of Florida’s 15 ports and related transportation infrastructure during an appearance at Jacksonville’s JAXPORT.
DeSantis, who has made a hallmark of challenging the White House on a variety of issues, highlighted state spending on roads, ports, rail infrastructure and workforce training during Tuesday’s appearance, along with touting incentives packages offered by state ports to try to entice shipping companies to reroute operations.
“We have to make sure people can go Christmas shopping as normal. We have to make sure that all the necessities are there,” DeSantis said. “And if it’s because ships are sitting off the coast somewhere else, and they can be rerouted here, and we can get all those shelves stocked, then we want to be a part of that solution.”
