What happened
The Palm Coast City Council decided to borrow up to $15 million to purchase 259 acres of land from Allete for $17 million, which settles a lawsuit against the developer. Separately, the council removed a provision in the Land Development Code that required developers to hold neighborhood meetings for subdivisions of 40 housing units or more.

Why it matters
The land purchase requires the city to inherit $1.9 million in debt and forgo future property tax revenue from the land. The removal of mandatory neighborhood meetings may reduce public regulatory scrutiny for certain housing projects.
