The Flagler Beach City Commission on May 22 approved multiple land‑use and public‑facility updates. The commission adopted comprehensive‑plan amendments to incorporate state legislation related to housing, energy and resiliency, and also adopted an updated water‑supply facility work plan required by Florida statutes. Both measures were approved on second reading by unanimous vote.

City staff and the planner noted the water supply plan update incorporates salt‑water intrusion concerns raised during the city’s planning retreat. Commissioners asked clarifying questions but said their concerns had been addressed in prior review sessions.

Separately, at first reading commissioners approved an amendment to the Land Development Code adjusting flood‑hazard and manufactured‑home elevation standards. Staff said the city will set finished‑floor elevations at FEMA base flood elevation plus three feet (a three‑foot freeboard above FEMA maps in most of the city), which staff described as higher than the common one‑foot freeboard used elsewhere. The city engineer explained FEMA requires use of the FEMA base flood map as the baseline and local policy defines the additional freeboard.

All three ordinance actions (comprehensive‑plan transmittal, water supply plan adoption, and flood‑hazard code amendments) proceeded through the required readings and commission votes as listed in the meeting packet and were advanced by unanimous roll calls.
