The Palm Coast City Council meets regularly to discuss and vote on official City business. These meetings are open to the public, and Palm Coast residents are strongly encouraged to attend. An increase in public engagement helps to build a stronger sense of community, increase valuable discussions, and decrease division.
The agenda for the City Council Workshop Meeting on, January 14, at 9 a.m. will be as follows:
Presentations
The following presentations will be delivered:
- The Community Development Department will present an Ordinance to amend and restate the City’s Fair Housing Ordinance. Updates include expanded definitions, new provisions addressing unlawful housing practices, and enhanced compliance with federal regulations.
- The Community Development Department will give a presentation on a Resolution approving the Affordable Housing Incentives Report for 2024 under the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program. The report outlines strategies to increase affordable housing options in Palm Coast and Flagler County.
- The Community Development Department will deliver a presentation on exterior building house colors. City staff has collaborated with the previous City Council to explore potential modifications to the Land Development Code (LDC) regarding exterior building colors. With four new City Council members now in place, staff aims to provide an update on prior directives and seek guidance on how to proceed.
Public Comments will be opened at the beginning and end of the business meeting by Section 286.0114 Florida Statutes and under the City Council’s Meeting Policies and Procedures. Each speaker will approach the podium, provide his/her name, and may speak for up to 3 minutes.
