Planning board approves Palm Harbor Professional Complex technical site plan
Summary
The Planning and Land Development Regulation Board approved technical site plan application 5588 for a proposed two‑story, multi‑tenant professional and medical office building at Frontier Drive and Palm Harbor Parkway, finding it meets code criteria and city staff recommendations.
The Palm Coast Planning and Land Development Regulation Board on June 17 approved technical site plan application 5588 for the Palm Harbor Professional Complex, a proposed two‑story, multi‑tenant professional and medical office building at the intersection of Frontier Drive and Palm Harbor Parkway.
City staff told the board the project proposes a roughly 62,050 square‑foot gross floor area with about 42 tenant suites on a currently undeveloped parcel zoned COM‑1 and that the plan meets the five technical site plan criteria in the Land Development Code. "In summary, this project meets all five of the criteria that we have," Michael Hansen, senior planner, told the board.
Planner Alicia Mowley and the applicant, Casey Travers of Stevenson Wilcox, outlined site features including two access points (Palm Harbor Parkway and Frontier Drive), proposed parking of 205 spaces (198 required under the medical office parking standard), additional accessible spaces, and wetland avoidance measures. Travers said the footprint is roughly 34,844 square feet with 62,050 square feet of buildable area and that if fully leased the complex would support local health, dental and professional services and could generate jobs.
Board members asked about shared access with a neighboring gas station, internal circulation and whether the board was approving architectural elevations. Staff clarified the technical site plan review includes the elevations submitted with the application and that architecture, setbacks, parking and impervious limits met code. One board member registered an aesthetic preference for the elevations shown on plan sheets A41–A42 but voted in favor of the staff recommendation.
After a brief public comment from a developer representative who said the team will coordinate final colors and materials with the city, the board voted unanimously to approve the application. IRENE, the clerk, recorded a 5–0 roll call vote: Hilton, Ferguson, Decker, Nicholson and Chair Shank all voted yes. The approval is a development order under the city’s technical site plan process and does not require further city council action for this Tier 2 application.
