About this file
This is an appraisal report prepared by Colliers Valuation & Advisory Services for the City of Palm Coast, Florida, regarding a city-owned property located at 5740 SR 100 in Palm Coast, Florida. The appraisal was commissioned to establish the market value of the subject site, which consists of 23 separate parcels totaling 8.50 acres within the Palm Coast Community Redevelopment Area. The report was completed on December 11, 2025, with an effective appraisal date of December 5, 2025. The property is currently largely vacant with one parcel improved with a mobile home that does not contribute to the overall site value. The subject property is located in two zoning districts: the frontage is zoned General Commercial with Gateway Overlay (COM-2), while the remaining portion is zoned Public/Semipublic (PSP), which will require rezoning prior to development. The appraisal was conducted in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and current appraisal standards to develop an opinion of the as-is market value of the property's fee simple interest.
The final appraised value of the subject property is $2,775,000, or $7.49 per square foot, based on the Sales Comparison Approach utilizing five comparable vacant commercial land sales in the Palm Coast area. The appraisal assumes that the PSP-zoned portion can be readily rezoned to allow commercial development consistent with surrounding uses, that rezoning would occur without unusual delay or opposition, and that current right-of-ways bisecting the property will be abandoned by the city without impacting development. The property is located in Zone X (Unshaded) for flood hazard purposes and in a low seismic risk zone. The site has average to good access and visibility along State Road 100 with approximately 309 feet of frontage on this major arterial. The total purchase order cost for the appraisal services was $3,850.00, issued by the City of Palm Coast Capital Projects Fund on December 11, 2025, with invoices to be submitted to the City's Accounts Payable department.

The subject is a 8.50-acre site located at 5740 SR 100 in Palm Coast, Florida. The site consists of 23 separate parcels.
The parcels are largely vacant, with one parcel currently improved with a mobile home, that does not contribute to the overall site as vacant.

The Extraordinary Assumptions and/or Hypothetical Conditions that were made during the appraisal process to arrive at our opinion of value are fully discussed below. We advise the client to consider these issues carefully given the intended use of this appraisal, as their use might have affected the assignment results.
Extraordinary Assumptions
This Appraisal Report is not contingent on any extraordinary assumptions.
Hypothetical Conditions
This appraisal has been prepared under the hypothetical condition that the subject property, which a large portion of is currently zoned Public/Semipublic (PSP), can be readily rezoned to allow commercial development consistent with surrounding land uses and local planning objectives.
It is further assumed that the rezoning process would occur without unusual delay, cost, or opposition, and that all necessary entitlements and approvals for commercial use could be obtained through an expedited administrative process.
It is also assumed that the current right-of-ways that bisect the subject property will be abandoned by the city and would not impact development of the subject site.
These assumptions are made solely for the purpose of valuation and may not reflect the property’s actual legal or regulatory status as of the effective date of appraisal. The value opinion reported herein is contingent upon this hypothetical condition, and the results may differ materially if the property cannot, in fact, be rezoned or developed for multifamily use as assumed.

Regional Analysis
The Daytona-Palm Coast, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area is a Combined (CMSA) consisting of Flagler County and Volusia County in the state of Florida. The principal cities in the CMSA are Deltona, Daytona Beach and Port Orange, all located in Volusia County.
The Daytona-Palm Coast CMSA is located on the eastern coast of Florida. It is south of St. Augustine Beach north of Titusville.
The Volusia/Flagler area is best known for its tourism industry, which attracts millions of visitors each year. Motorsports dominate the area, with several race track venues as magnets. The best known is Daytona International Speedway, where the headquarters of NASCAR is located.
The main natural attraction for tourists are the beaches of Volusia and Flagler counties, with Daytona Beach, Flagler Beach, New Smyrna Beach, and Ormond Beach being the largest draws. Summer is usually the High Season for beach tourism in this area.
Community Descriptions
Deltona is a suburban city just north of Sanford, FL which is on the northern boundary of the Orlando MSA. It is a principal city in the CMSA and is the most populous city in Volusia County. The city is mostly residential, and primarily serves as a commuter town for the nearby cities of Orlando and Daytona Beach. As such, the city’s economy is largely impacted by state and regional economy, which depends solely on surrounding communities and cities for work, shopping and entertainment. It is home to Daytona State College, the Fathi Hall building. The city’s land use is almost entirely residential representing over 75 percent of the structures.
DeLand is just north of Deltona and is about 35 miles or 30-40 minutes north of the Orlando CBD. It was founded in 1876 and is home to Stetson University, Florida’s oldest private college. DeLand has a small downtown historic district but is largely influenced by its proximity to Orlando, the university and nearby hospitals. It is also known as the skydiving capital of the world and the industry employs over 500 people in the local area.
Daytona Beach is historically known as having a beach where the hard packed sand allows motorized vehicles to drive on the beach. This made Daytona Beach a mecca for motorsports with the old Daytona Beach Road Course having hosted races for over 50 years. This course was replaced in 1959 by the Daytona International Speedway. The city is also the headquarters for NASCAR and the Grand American Road Racing Association. Daytona Beach is a year-round resort area, but is also a seasonal town, with large groups of out-of-towners descending upon the city for various events, notably “Speedweeks” in early February when over 200,000 NASCAR fans come to attend the season-opening Daytona 500.
Ormond Beach is just north of Daytona Beach. It was once the domain of the Timucuan Indians and in the late-1800s became a haven for wealthy northerners to vacation and retire. Ormond Beach is an active commercial and residential market. Manufacturing is a large industry and the Ormond Beach Business Park and Airpark, a foreign trade zone, is located here. The business park is home to 29 companies that provide more than 2,000 jobs.
Palm Coast is located between St Augustine and Daytona Beach. It was developed by ITT Community Development Corporation (Levitt) in 1969, the original development plan encompassed 48K home sites on approximately 42K acres.
The plan included paved streets and water/sewer. An extensive water management system was designed to replenish the area's water table, which includes 46 miles of freshwater canals and 23 miles of saltwater canals. In 1975, the Palm Coast Service District was established and included almost 40K acres. Funds for the district were derived primarily from Ad Valorem taxes and were utilized to provide public services including: fire services, street lighting, animal control and emergency services. In 1999 the City of Palm Coast was officially incorporated.

Demographic Analysis
The following is a demographic study of the region sourced by Esri ArcGIS®, an on-line resource center that provides information used to analyze and compare the past, present, and future trends of geographical areas. Demographic changes are often highly correlated to changes in the underlying economic climate. Periods of economic uncertainty necessarily make demographic projections somewhat less reliable than projections in more stable periods. These projections are used as a starting point, but we also consider current and localized market knowledge in interpreting them within this analysis. Please note that our demographics provider sets forth income projections in constant dollars which, by definition, reflect projections after adjustment for inflation. We are aware of other prominent demographic data providers that project income in current dollars, which do not account for inflation. A simple comparison of projections for a similar market area made under the constant and current dollar methodologies can and likely will produce data points that vary, in some cases, widely. Further, all forecasts, regardless of demographer methodology(ies), are subjective in the sense that the reliability of the forecast is subject to modeling and definitional assumptions and procedures.
Population According to Esri ArcGIS®, a Geographic Information System (GIS) Company, the Deltona-Daytona Beach-Ormond Beach metropolitan area had a 2024 population of 718,006 and experienced an annual growth rate of 1.7%, which was higher than the Florida annual growth rate of 1.3%.
