Affordable housing land donation to Habitat for Humanity

The city donated two vacant, fire-damaged residential lots to Flagler Habitat for Humanity for affordable housing. One resident argued the lots (worth up to ~$90,000 each) should be sold and proceeds saved, while council members defended the donation as a low-cost contribution to the housing crisis.

Data center regulation and the DC Blocks cable landing station

Council agreed to have staff define high-impact data centers in the land development code, requiring big water/power/noise facilities to come before council as special exceptions rather than by-right uses.
