The 60-Second Overview
The Seminole Woods Mixed Use PUD is the proposed 119-acre planned development on the east side of Seminole Woods Boulevard, south of Sesame Boulevard, directly beside the Grand Landings neighborhood. The plan caps residential at 502 units, a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and apartments under a self-imposed density limit of seven units per acre, and adds what this corridor has almost none of: commercial land. The conceptual master plan shows 11.3 acres of commercial fronting the boulevard, potentially a shopping center, plus a 12-acre assisted living facility site, with 30-plus acres of open space, stormwater, and common areas.
The land is held by MPC Lots LLC, an entity linked in public reporting to ICI Homes' Mori Hosseini, with land-use attorney Michael Chiumento carrying the application. The Flagler County Planning & Development Board recommended approval 6-0 on February 10, 2026, after delaying the item in December 2025 over traffic questions, and over objections from Grand Landings and corridor residents. The remaining step is final County Commission action on the future land-use amendment and the rezoning from agriculture to PUD.
This is the project that decides whether deep south Palm Coast gets its own groceries-and-services node, or stays a 15-minute drive from everything, and 502 households will come with the answer.
For buyers, the practical facts: nothing is for sale, no builder is announced, no plats exist, and the product standards on file, lots as small as 4,000 square feet with living areas as small as 700 square feet, describe a compact product unlike the quarter-acre S/U-section streets around it. Everything beyond the entitlement record is TBD, and we say so throughout.
The Approval Trail: What Is Actually Approved
The verified sequence: the application seeks a future land-use amendment and a rezoning of the 119 acres from agriculture to a mixed-use PUD with high-intensity mixed-use and low-intensity commercial designations. The planning board first delayed the item in December 2025 over traffic concerns, then, with an October 2025 traffic study in hand showing about 1,416 added PM peak-hour trips, within Seminole Woods Boulevard's capacity per county and Palm Coast analyses, recommended approval 6-0 on February 10, 2026. County staff's required worst-case analysis allows up to roughly 830,000 square feet of commercial; the developer's attorney told the board flatly that figure is a cartoon of the analysis process and that the actual plan apportions about 23 acres of commercial land. County planning staff confirmed the developer is bound to the conceptual master plan and PUD agreement, with substantial deviations requiring a new public hearing.
Utilities are settled in an unusual way: water and sewer come from Palm Coast, which confirmed capacity, and under the early-2000s intergovernmental settlement known locally as the Water Wars agreement, this property can take city utilities without annexing into Palm Coast, so it would remain unincorporated Flagler County. What remains before homes exist: the County Commission's final votes on the comp-plan amendment and rezoning, then site plans, final plats, infrastructure, builder contracts, and governing documents. None of that exists yet.

Join the early list →The Honest Timeline, and What Could Move It
Even on a clean path, the sequence runs: County Commission adoption of the comp-plan amendment and rezoning, then site plan and final plat approvals where the actual lots are mapped, then horizontal infrastructure, then builder models. That is a multi-year runway before a first closing, and the commission step is not a formality, the same neighbors who packed the planning board will pack those hearings.
What could move it: the commission's appetite after sustained Grand Landings opposition, the precedent of the corridor's last fight, the Cascades project up the boulevard, where Palm Coast's council killed the apartment component and capped the project at 416 homes after public pressure, plus market timing for the commercial and assisted living components, which need operators, not just zoning. ICI-linked ownership cuts the other way: this is a developer with the patience and balance sheet to finish what it entitles.
The Mixed-Use Math: What 119 Acres Actually Holds
The county is required to analyze the worst case, and the worst case sounds enormous: 71.4 acres of residential, 47.6 acres of commercial, and up to ~830,000 square feet of commercial space. The application's actual conceptual plan is materially smaller: about 61 acres of residential (23.3 single-family, 16 townhomes, 22 multifamily), 23.3 acres of commercial including the 12-acre assisted living site and 11.3 boulevard-front acres, and roughly 34.7 acres of common area and stormwater. The binding documents are the PUD agreement and that conceptual plan; per county staff, substantial deviations force a new public hearing.
The honest read on each piece: the single-family and townhome land is the most certain to build, this is what the owner's affiliated builders do. The multifamily acreage is the corridor's most contested product type after Cascades, and the commercial is the most speculative, boulevard-front retail needs rooftops first, which is why the homes come before the shopping center in every project like this. The assisted living facility is a real regional need and a real traffic-light land use, the quietest neighbor on the plan.

Get the document read →The Corridor: Seminole Woods Is Changing
Seminole Woods Boulevard runs a corridor that is changing faster than anywhere in south Palm Coast. The established base is the no-HOA Seminole Woods S/U-section, quarter-acre lot-by-lot Palm Coast living. Beside this site sits gated, no-CDD Grand Landings, approved to grow toward 890 homes. Up the corridor, the Cascades project was capped at 416 single-family homes after the city council killed its apartments under public pressure, and near the airport, Enclave at Seminole Palms added 182 new builds. A gas-station-and-retail corner has also been proposed at Sesame and Seminole Woods. Add this PUD's 502 units and the corridor's quiet era is genuinely ending.
The trade is the same one every Seminole Woods resident already argues about: services finally coming to a retail desert, versus roughly 1,416 new peak-hour trips on the one road everyone shares. Both are real, and lot position relative to the commercial node will decide which one your address feels.
Schools, Honestly
This part of unincorporated south Flagler currently feeds the Bunnell Elementary, Buddy Taylor Middle, and Flagler Palm Coast High lineup, but with this PUD, Cascades, and Grand Landings growth all adding rooftops to the same zones, redistricting is a live possibility through the build-out. Verify the current assignment for any lot with Flagler Schools, and treat any zone promise from a sales office as provisional.
Planning around schools? We will pull the current zone maps and the district's growth planning for this corridor.
Ask us directly →What Living Here Will Actually Be Like
Project from the documents: a compact-lot, mixed-product community where townhomes and apartments share the plan with single-family streets, the corridor's first walkable retail possibly at your entrance, and an assisted living campus as the quiet southern anchor. The 4,000-square-foot minimum lots mean neighbors close by; the 30-plus acres of stormwater and open space mean ponds threading the plan. Daily life still runs on Seminole Woods Boulevard, one spine for everything.

5 Pre-Construction Mistakes We See Constantly
Pipeline mixed-use projects create predictable buyer errors before launch. These five apply directly here.
Treating a planning-board nod as final approval
The 6-0 vote was a recommendation. The County Commission holds the actual comp-plan and rezoning votes, and contested corridors have flipped at that step before, see Cascades up the road.
Pricing the renderings, not the standards
The recorded standards allow 4,000 sq ft lots and 700 sq ft minimum homes. The product that gets built is defined by those floors and the builder's pro forma, not the site plan watercolor.
Assuming the shopping center
Commercial zoning is not a grocery store. If the retail never leases, the boulevard-front acres can sit or seek other uses; buy the home on its own merits.
Ignoring fee structure until contract
No HOA or district documents exist yet. The corridor benchmark, Grand Landings, is famously no-CDD; whether this project matches that matters to every monthly payment, and nobody can answer it today.
Forgetting the live alternatives
Grand Landings and the surrounding S/U-section sell real homes today. Any future price here must beat a built, known-fee alternative two minutes away, and we put the sheets side by side.
We track every filing on this corridor. Join the early list and decide on documents, not marketing.
Join the early list →The Land, and the Lots to Come
On a mixed-use plan, distance from the commercial node prices the quiet, and pond edges price the view.
With 4,000-square-foot minimum lots setting a compact baseline, position will differentiate value more than the floor plan: interior single-family streets away from the boulevard and the future retail will be the premium, and the townhome rows nearest the commercial will be the entry.

Get on the list →The Early-List Checklist
- County Commission votes. The comp-plan amendment and rezoning, the project's true final approvals.
- PUD development agreement. The recorded version and every binding standard in it.
- Site plan and plats. The actual lot maps, pond edges, and the commercial node's footprint.
- Builder takedowns. Whether ICI builds it directly or contracts lots, and the incentive patterns.
- Fee documents. HOA declaration and any district formation, against Grand Landings' no-CDD benchmark.
- ALF and retail operators. Real commitments versus entitled placeholders.
- Corridor traffic items. Signal, turn-lane, and Sesame-corner approvals phased against build-out.
- Deposit discipline. Refundable and escrowed until documents exist, no exceptions.
This 119 acres is the most consequential land in south Palm Coast right now: it decides whether Seminole Woods gets a real commercial node or stays a pass-through corridor, and it brings the area's first big mixed product since Grand Landings. The 6-0 planning-board vote came over a room full of objections, which tells you the commission hearings will matter.
The whole game here is the binding documents, the PUD agreement, the conceptual plan it locks, and eventually the fee structure, all public, mostly unread. We read them. When sales open, our clients will know the all-in monthly and the corridor traffic math before the sales office finishes its pitch.
How It Compares to the Built Corridor
The fair comparisons are what you can buy on this corridor today.
| Community | Product | Status | The trade |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seminole Woods Mixed Use PUD | Up to 502 mixed units + ALF + retail | Pipeline, approvals advancing | Future mixed-use convenience vs. years of waiting and unknowns |
| Grand Landings | Gated SF, no CDD | Selling/established | Finished gated homes today, right next door |
| Seminole Woods (S/U-section) | No-HOA quarter-acre SF | Established | Space and zero fees vs. older stock and no amenities |
| Cascades | Council-capped 416 SF | Approved pipeline | The corridor's other pipeline, with its own contested history |
| Enclave at Seminole Palms | 182 new-build SF | Built/selling | The corridor's newest finished product near the airport |
The honest verdict: every built option wins on certainty today, and Grand Landings in particular offers gates and no CDD two minutes away. This PUD's eventual case is newer product plus the corridor's only walk-to-retail potential; its eventual cost is whatever fee structure and density trade-offs the final documents reveal. Both halves belong in the decision.

The Momentum Playbook
How we run the Seminole Woods PUD watch:
- Hearing monitoring. County Commission agendas and votes, flagged with our plain-English read.
- Document tracking. The recorded PUD agreement, site plans, and plats the week they land.
- Builder intelligence. ICI's build-versus-sell decision and any takedown contracts before launch marketing.
- Benchmarked pricing. Every future price sheet against Grand Landings and corridor resales the same week.
- Bridge strategy. If your timeline is now, we place you at Grand Landings or the S/U-section with resale positioning for when this delivers.
Questions We Ask Before You Commit
- Did the County Commission adopt the comp-plan amendment and rezoning, and with what conditions?
- What fee structure exists, HOA, any district, and how does it compare to no-CDD Grand Landings?
- Which commercial and ALF elements are contracted versus merely entitled?
- What lot standards apply to this specific lot, width, setbacks, minimum living area?
- What traffic improvements are conditioned on which phases of build-out?
- How does the all-in monthly compare to a Grand Landings purchase the same week?
Who This Is Not For
A pipeline PUD with its final votes still ahead is a tracking play. It is wrong for most buyers today, and that is fine.
Consider elsewhere if you want
- A home in the next one to two years
- Quarter-acre lots and wide setbacks
- Known fees and governing documents today
- The corridor's current quiet, unchanged
- Distance from future retail and multifamily
- Certainty before the commission has voted
This project fits if you want
- First position on the corridor's mixed-use future
- Walk-to-services potential nowhere else in south Palm Coast
- New-code construction near gated, no-CDD benchmarks
- A compact-lot, lower-maintenance product
- Time to plan, with every milestone tracked for you
- The binding documents read honestly before you sign anything
