Palm Coast Planning Board Recommends Rezoning for Large Housing Project
What happened
The Palm Coast Planning Board recommended, on a 6-1 vote, a reconfigured plan for Magnolia Terrace, a housing development spanning over 1,000 acres at the south end of Belle Terre Boulevard. The proposal, which constitutes a rezoning, reduces the originally approved entitlements by 200 units, settling on 544 units. This shift eliminates the original concept of the project as a continuing care retirement community, moving instead toward market-driven home sales.

Why it matters
The rezoning recommendation is subject to the final approval of the city council. The original plan included a 60-bed nursing home facility and a 120-room assisted living facility, which are no longer part of the current proposal. The new plan focuses solely on independent-living homes, including single-family houses, apartments, and town houses.
