Annexation is proposed for the property, with many more steps to go.
Flagler Pines Properties LLC has filed a petition to annex 38.8 acres into the City of Palm Coast, which could lead to commercial development on the parcel south of State Road 100, between Planet Fitness and BJ’s Wholesale Club.
The City Council will hear a presentation on the annexation at its Feb. 18 workshop, which begins 9 a.m. at City Hall.
Because the property is within the Palm Coast Service Area for water and sewer, the city’s staff reported, the property must into annex into the city to receive services.
The zoning of the property, under Flagler County’s designation, is high intensity commercial with a residential component.
According to Acting City Manager Lauren Johnston, there has not been a development application filed with the city yet, but the plan is likely to use the property fully for commercial, not residential.
The annexation creates an opportunity for a frontage road parallel to State Road 100.
That could make traffic flow more efficiently between that stretch of commercial development: A car could travel from Planet Fitness to BJ’s without driving on State Road 100. For a comparison, Johnston pointed to the frontage road the connects Joe’s New York Pizza to Chick-fil-A, north of Palm Coast Parkway.
According to the city’s staff report, State Road 100 still meets the city’s level of service standards, except for the stretch from Seminole Woods Boulevard to Interstate 95.
The second reading of the annexation agreement is tentatively scheduled for March 4, with several more steps ahead before any development could occur on the property: amending the Future Land Use Map, rezoning the property with Palm Coast designations, submitting a technical site plan, and then applying for a development permit.
