Three proposed new Palm Coast residential developments received the city planning board's initial vote of approval Aug. 18 and could bring as many as 1,362 new units to the city.
The northernmost of the three is Colbert Landings, which would encompass 294 acres divided into two plots, one northern and one southern, on the west side of Colbert Lane north of State Road 100.
The land had been slated for a planned unit development in 2005, but infrastructure work halted when the recession hit, and the property was sold to a new owner in 2020.
The city approved a rezoning for the land from planned unit development to single-family residential in March.
The developer presented a subdivision master plan to the city's Planning and Land Development Regulation Board on Aug. 18, seeking approval for 482 single-family lots at a density of 1.64 units per acre.
To the southwest, another developer hopes to transform 72 acres of vacant land on the north side of the intersection of Seminole Woods Boulevard and U.S. 1, just south of the Integra Woods apartment complex, into a multifamily community of up to 653 units.
The developer hopes to submit a master site plan to the city within about 60 days, attorney Michael Chiumento told planning board members at the meeting.
The homes would be duplexes, triplexes and other "horizontal multifamily," Chiumento said, divided into two phases of construction, with the first including about 180 homes.
The planning board approved a rezoning the developer had requested for part of the land, transforming it from master planned development and general commercial zoning to a mixture of residential and high-intensity commercial. The commercial land would face U.S. 1, while the residential community would share an entrance road with Integra Woods.
Another development has been proposed for the east side of Seminole Woods Boulevard, this one about 2.5 miles south of State Road 100.
The community will be a planned community, with sidewalks and private amenities.
"There's a certain demand out there for that, and this proposed project will address those types of demands," city Senior Planner Jose Papa said.
This one is in its early stages: The planning board approved a rezoning from master-planned development to single-family residential, along with a Future Land Use Map amendment from a mixed-use designation to a residential-use designation.
A site-specific policy would limit development on the 70-acre site to 227 units, at a density of three units per acre.
