A recent question from a resident, followed by Mayor David Alfin's response:

“Why can’t the City Community Development Department just say no to all these builders who come here to build huge new developments? Or why can’t we have them just scaled back so they have to build fewer homes, apartments or townhomes?”

Many of us who moved to Palm Coast purchased property to build our own special places to live. We were each entitled to purchase our property, zoned for the specific use of possibly a home, duplex or townhome. The same regulations apply to large-scale developers. They can procure a property of their choice and build what they want, as long as they adhere to the correct zoning.
