Why Are House Colors Regulated? ITT created master planned community -deed restricted all lands, including 47,000+ residential lots to ensure character, nature and general scheme of development: • Minimum lot size; • Minimum square footage of house; • Land Use -one house per lot; • Community-wide maintenance of infrastructure and environment; • Water and sewer hook up; • Architectural consistency.
Palm Coast Experience 1972 – ITT sold deed restricted residential lots “to provide for the preservation of the values and amenities thus established or to be established in the Palm Coast Community.” 1992 - Palm Coast Community Service Corporation (PCCSC) created, including Architectural Review Committee; Noteworthy: PCCSC existed for 13 years after its creation; therefore 33 yrs. of development history exists using deed restrictions to control community character
Palm Coast Experience, cont. 1999 - City of Palm Coast incorporated; 2004 – Ord. 2004-08 – Adopted Comprehensive Plan (Policy 3.3.1.3. To Promote high quality housing, the City shall enforce architectural and aesthetic regulations. These regulations shall be reviewed on a continual basis and updated as needed.) 2005 – Ord. 2005-16 – Created ARC; transferred PCCSC ARC personnel and functions to City; 2006 – Ord. 2006-15 – Dissolved PCCSC; transferred functions and personnel to City; 2008 – Ord. 2008-16 - ULDC adopted, codified community appearance standards for all development;
Palm Coast Experience, cont. 2008 – 2012 - Palm Coast Vision Statement - A great place to live, work & play! 2012-2013 – To be recognized as one of Florida’s premiere cities in which to live, work and play. • - Prosperity 2021 – Keep Palm Coast Beautiful: “Everyone wants to live in a “nice” neighborhood where residents maintain their property and the City maintains the common areas and necessary infrastructure. Efforts to encourage and/or enforce minimal maintenance standards of our neighborhoods can go a long way in maintaining/raising property values.”

Issues that need to be addressed • Should City continue to regulate colors? • Current process (color reviewed at time building permit) works; but 2nd generation homeowner difficult to reach. 3. Some homeowners/builders desire for darker/deeper colors outside of ULDC allowance (purples, blues,reds, oranges,yellows, greens, Black+)
