Palm Coast council keeps 2035 map, narrows master-plan mixed-use rules and trims housing bonuses
Summary
City staff presented the draft 2050 comprehensive plan update; council members agreed to retain the older 2035 land-use map for adoption, require more nonresidential floor area in future west‑of‑rail developments and remove several proposed housing density-bonus policies for later land‑development-code work.
Palm Coast City Council members on Friday agreed to adopt the city’s transmitted 2050 comprehensive plan using the existing 2035 future‑land‑use map rather than the broad, westward “master plan mixed use” (MPMU) map transmitted earlier, and directed staff to revise several MPMU and housing policies before the plan’s second reading.
The changes narrow what would become a large new MPMU designation west of the railroad, increase the minimum workplace/commercial requirement tied to new residential development and remove three proposed density‑bonus provisions in the housing element for later consideration in the land development code.
City staff presented the two elements that drove the discussion: the new MPMU land‑use designation and the housing element. Jose Papa, with the Community Development Department, summarized the transmission maps and data, saying the plan uses projections "we have a projected population of about 158,000 in 02/1950" and that the MPMU areas would encompass roughly 20,300 acres west of the railroad (staff presentation excerpt).
