Four ongoing Palm Coast developments have received final approval from the Palm Coast City Council, including the first phase of a 293-acre development on Colbert Lane.
The four developments are Colbert Landings on Colbert Lane, Flagler Village on Citation Boulevard, Matanzas Cove near Londonderry Drive and Somerset on Highway U.S. 1. The City Council approved the plats for each development in 4-0 votes at the April 16 City Council meeting. Council member Nick Klufas was absent from the meeting.
Council member Theresa Carli Pontieri and Mayor David Alfin reminded the public that the city is not adding any new developments with these plat approvals. Instead, the approvals are just the next step in the development and application process for already approved developments.
“We’re not adding more rooftops,” Pontieri said.
“We're not adding the same number over and over and over again," Alfin said. "It's the same number from way back when.”
Palm Coast Deputy Chief Development Officer Ray Tyner called final plat approvals a "technical exercise," as it is just ensuring the development meets final zoning code requirements for lot widths and easements, among other parts.
With the approval of the development’s final plat applications, the city can issue a development order. Below are the details of the four developments:
COLBERT LANDINGS
Colbert Landings is Palm Coast’s fifth Community Development District and is located on the west side of Colbert Lane, just north of State Road 100. A CDD is where the district is responsible for installing, maintaining and repairing some of the infrastructure, removing the financial cost of that responsibility from the city.
The development, owned by Geosam Capital and annexed into Palm Coast in 2004, will have 482 single-family residential homes across 293 acres of land. The first phase of the development, for which the preliminary plat was for, will build 248 homes.
FLAGLER VILLAGE
The Flagler Village development, owned by Meritage Homes of Florida, Inc. is on 109.5 acres of land at the northeast corner of Belle Terre and Citation Boulevards. Meritage submitted an application for final plat approval for the first phase of its development, which will build 109 townhomes on 50-foot lots.
When both phases of the development are built, it will have 227 homes. The Flagler Village development was originally approved by the City Council in 2021. With the final plat approval, Flagler Village will issue a development order, allowing the construction of the homes to begin.
MATANZAS COVE
The Matanzas Cove development — owned by an LLC of the same name — is 17 acres on the west side of Londonderry Drive and north of Matanzas Woods Parkway.
The development was originally approved by City Council in November 2019 and the site is approved for 50 single-family residential homes.
SOMERSET
The Somerset development is located on Highway U.S. 1 just 2 miles north of Palm Coast Parkway on 162 acres. It is part of the Palm Coast Park Master Planned Development. The Somerset development within Palm Coast Park was approved by the council in March 2022 for 418 single family homes, built across multiple phases.
Phase 1 of Somerset is approved for 125 single-family homes, on 40- to 60-foot lots, on almost 48 acres of land.
