The City Council has given its initial approval to a plan to revive the Coquina Shores development near Old Kings Road.

The Coquina Shores Development of Regional Impact was the subject of two of six development applications on the City Council’s agenda on May 16. 

All six were approved unanimously except an amendment to the Palm Coast Park Master Planned Development, for which council member Theresa Carli Pontieri cast a dissenting vote.

The Planning Board had recommended that the City Council approve the applications. 

The Coquina Shores DRI sits on more than 500 acres of land east of Old Kings Road and north of State Road 100. The DRI’s original land use  designation — approved in 2006 — was for a mixed residential and commercial development with over 2,400 approved dwelling units, 150 hotel rooms, 50,000 square feet for general retail use and another 30,000 square feet for office space.

The new applications would remove the commercial land use designation on land, listing it solely as residential and conservation, and change the DRI’s zoning to match. The developer — JX Palm Coast Land, LLC — is asking to add 750 single-family homes across the DRI, for a density of 1.48 units per acre. 

The City Council has also approved an amendment to the Palm Coast Park MPD that would change some of the designated land uses in the development, adding 750 additional residential units and 300,000 square feet of industrial space by reducing the commercial and office entitlements.
