8. CONSENT AGENDA:
9. ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 28-2016, Amending Chapter 94, Impact
Fees, of the Land Development Code, and the City’s Impact Fee Schedule
for Fire/Rescue, Parks, Transportation, and Law Enforcement, at second
and final reading - Chris Bowley, AICP, Planning and Development
Services, (386) 878-8602.
Strategic Goal: Other Priority Objectives Identified - Maintain a balanced
budget, reserves, and investments.
Mayor Masiarczyk stated Ordinance 28-2016 pertains to impact fees and he asked if there
City of Deltona Page 2 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Minutes January 17, 2017
was any new information. Mr. Bowley responded there was not. City Manager Shang did
comment that square footage pertains to "usable square footage" in the ordinance.
Commissioner Soukup asked when the fees are collected do the fees go into each budget
or into the General Fund. Mr. Clinger responded the fees go into a separate impact fee fund
where it sits until it is appropriated for use. Commissioner Soukup asked what the fees
could be used for and Mr. Clinger responded it has to be in the budget and must be capital
growth related. City Manager Shang added it is used for what it is collected for .
Commissioner Soukup asked if there was a reason these fees were raised and City
Manager Shang responded we have to have the fees in line with what we think the costs will
be. He stated we keep talking about economic development so are we not going against
that because commercial will have to pay for this.
Commissioner Bradford stated she has done some research on this and one (1) of the
articles she read says it reduces the amount of burden on the residents. She used Howland
Blvd. as an example that bringing in businesses brings more traffic so we will need better
roads, more streetlights and sidewalks and the impact fees help absorb the cost to
maintain the roads, etc. Mayor Masiarczyk added the fees are in lieu of ad valorem taxes
and if you do not collect those funds you have to take it from the General Fund. Mr. Clinger
stated there is a different twist on that; the impact fee is supposed to pay the capital outlay
portion and the theory is the growth will result in more property taxes which will take care of
the year-to-year maintenance. Commissioner Herzberg added that businesses understand
that they will have to pay the impact fees as a cost of establishing a business. Vice Mayor
Nabicht pointed out that some of the fees were lowered to bring the fees more in line with
the region.
There were no other comments.
B. Public Hearing - Request for Rehearing of Ordinance No. 30-2016, Rezoning
Request for ±1.46 acres of land located near of the intersection of DeBary
Ave. and Providence Blvd., at first reading - Chris Bowley, AICP, Director of
Planning and Development Services, (386) 878-8602.
Strategic Goal: Economic Development - work with existing businesses to
expand and grow.
Mayor Masiarczyk stated this item as he understands it is strictly a request for a re -hearing
and we do not want to discuss projects; it is based on the change in the zoning of the
property. Assistant City Attorney Vose clarified that this item is a hearing on whether to
grant a re-hearing and the Commission is not re-hearing the zoning tonight; you are being
asked for the opportunity for a hearing at some point in the future to start over as if you were
at the October Meeting. He stated what the ordinance requires in this provision is it avoids
what would otherwise be the only relief the applicant has which would be in the Circuit Court
and it gives the opportunity to get another chance to take a look at the ordinance
City of Deltona Page 3 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Minutes January 17, 2017
requirement that the Commission find a reason to grant a re-hearing. He stated it was
mentioned here that the record indicates there was a motion and a second prior to the
applicant having a chance to make a presentation.
There were no other questions or comments.
C. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 32-2016, Rezoning ±1.67 acres located at
3151 Howland Blvd. from C-2 (General Commercial) to C-1 (Retail
Commercial), at second and final reading - Ron A. Paradise, Assistant
Director, Planning and Development Services (386) 878-8610.
Strategic Goal: Economic Development - focus on Howland Blvd. as a
gateway for commercial growth.
Mayor Masiarczyk stated the next item is a public hearing regarding a re -zoning and City
Manager clarified this is a different re-zoning; it is on Howland Blvd., it is a church and it is
the second and final reading.
There were no questions or comments.
D. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 34-2016, Amending the Comprehensive
Plan of the City of Deltona Capital Improvements Element, at first reading -
Ron Paradise, Assistant Director, Planning and Development Services,
(386) 878-8610.
Strategic Goal: Infrastructure - create a utility master plan consistent with
zoning.
Mayor Masiarczyk stated this item is regarding amending the Capital Improvement Element
(CIE) Utility Master Plan for 1st Reading and he asked if there was anything different. Mr.
Paradise responded it is something the City does every year and is a State mandate; it is
an analysis that the City has met its level of service obligation.
There were no other questions or comments.
10. OLD BUSINESS:
11. NEW BUSINESS:
A. Request for City of Deltona funds.
Mayor Masiarczyk stated the next item is regarding a request for City funds and rather than
get into a discussion now the Commission should discuss this in public because he thinks
City of Deltona Page 4 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Minutes January 17, 2017
there is a misunderstanding by the public on what the Commission originally budgeted this
money for. He stated it was for emergencies and it is getting to be a fund that people want
to use and there are a lot of requests for this $35,000.
Commissioner Herzberg stated the Futures group was one (1) of the groups that applied to
the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program that was declined. She asked
for clarification that the reason why this fund was created was initially out of that situation
where four (4) applicants were denied funding and City Manager Shang responded "no".
Mayor Masiarczyk stated this fund was to be used for example the shirts used for an event
and there was no funding. He stated originally during the budget hearings the Commission
discussed each Commissioner would have a certain amount set aside for events in the
Commissioner's district and nobody liked that idea so, it was decided to put that money
there for emergency things that come up that cannot be done on an annual basis like
special events, awards, etc. He stated what has happened is the public thinks it is another
funding mechanism that would normally be done during budget time.
Vice Mayor Nabicht asked if there was a problem with the policy that the Commission
needs to address and Mayor Masiarczyk responded that the policy needs to be changed to
reflect things that could not otherwise be requested during budget time. City Manager
Shang stated the policy is very broad but, the key is it has to benefit Deltona residents
which is what the Commission had directed and was supposed to be for unforeseen
situations. She added there was dialogue when there was the four (4) agencies that were
not awarded funds from CDBG but, then the Commission decided not to and we came up
with a simple application and process. Commissioner Herzberg asked if the four (4)
applicants that were declined by CDBG received awards out of the general fund and City
Manager Shang responded "no".
There were no other questions or comments.
B. Authorization to utilize Volusia County's Cooperative Purchasing
Professional Services Agreement for Disaster Cost Recovery and Related
Grant & Project Management.
Mayor Masiarczyk stated the next item is something staff has worked with the County on
regarding authorization to utilize that Volusia County purchasing professional services to
help with recovery reimbursement after the storm. Commissioner Soukup asked if this was
the same as the Tetra Tech Company and Mr. Doan responded Tetra Tech does not
provide these services and this is the review of the costs incurred after the storm and the
request for reimbursement from FEMA. Mr. Doan stated the county has that service in their
agreement and we would have to do an RFQ. Commissioner Soukup stated Orange City
signed the agreement four (4) days after the storm and he asked why the City did not. Mr.
Doan stated we had our own monitoring service for the removal of the debris and FEMA
does not like co-operative agreements because, they do not want cost shopping. He stated
FEMA wants you to have your own RFQ in-house like we had for the removal stage and
now that we are at the paperwork stage it is different work and the County has that in their
City of Deltona Page 5 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Minutes January 17, 2017
agreement. Mr. Clinger stated this requires a totally different skill; you have to follow all the
rules and regulations to get reimbursement from FEMA and that is a very special skill and
his department cannot do it. He added we can get up to 75% of our incurred expenses
depending on the quality of the paperwork. Mr. Doan stated when the City does the RFQ
this year these services will be included. Mr. Clinger likened it to doing a complex tax return
yourself. Commissioner Bradford suggested if the City messes up the paperwork we
jeopardize losing the funds from FEMA. City Manager Shang stated the cost for this service
is negligible in comparison to the millions that could be reimbursed. Commissioner Soukup
asked if there was an estimated cost to the City and Mr. Doan responded about $ 1.6
million + including the Tetra Tech fee; possibly $2 million.
Mayor Masiarczyk asked if there was any other new business and Commissioner Honaker
asked about the bullet point that was supposed to be under Commission Reports and was
not there. City Manager Shang responded she had spoken with Assistant City Attorney
Vose and we should have that on the next meeting agenda.
There were no other questions or comments.
12. CITY ATTORNEY COMMENTS:
13. CITY MANAGER COMMENTS:
14. CITY COMMISSION COMMENTS:
Commissioner Honaker stated it was brought to his attention that there is a need establish
an Ordinance on how you can do a request to change the City Charter by petition. He stated
according to the Charter prior Commissions were supposed to come up with an ordinance
that would include how to do to change the charter by petition and it was never done. Mayor
Masiarczyk stated he was going to bring that up; it is part of the Policies and Procedures
that someone could request the form and a form was never generated because no one
brought up the issue. He stated that is a good issue to bring up, there has got to be a
procedure by law, it has been the Charter Review Committee that proposed changes to the
Charter in the past. Assistant City Attorney Vose stated that it is a standard type of
ordinance that other cities have that would specify the form and the procedure by which
someone could go through petition to change the Charter.
Commissioner Soukup stated he had spoken with Pat Gibson about an issue she has and
he wanted to know what to tell her. Vice Mayor Nabicht responded that he had spoken with
Ms. Gibson at the Legislation Delegation Meeting and he had asked City Manager Shang
to get with the Building Official and he asked that a copy out of the code where it authorizes
the inspections to be done the way they were done which did not require getting on the roof
to do the inspection. He stated that he had suggested that City Manager Shang get with the
Building Code Congress and surrounding municipalities to see how they do business. He
stated that was done and the information was sent out to everyone including Ms. Gibson via
email with attachments by City Manager Shang. He stated that he had told Ms. Gibson to
give City Manager Shang a couple of weeks to research this at that time and when she
City of Deltona Page 6 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Minutes January 17, 2017
received the information if Ms. Gibson still disagrees with the information he will meet with
her to go over the information point by point. He stated he believed the report showed the
City did everything on point and Ms. Gibson has not yet contacted him. He explained the
code has changed over time and the current code was designed due to incidents of
inspectors in South Florida being injured by falling off the roofs and he explained that the
inspectors inspect by themselves so, they laid there injured waiting to be found. He stated
the code now allows visual inspection from the ground and it allows the contractor to
provide an affidavit to the City that the roof was installed according to code so, the liability
shifts back to the contractor. Mayor Masiarczyk stated he believed Ms. Gibson has
received the answers to her questions, she just does not agree with the answers.
City Manager Shang stated Ms. Gibson also had an issue with an unlicensed plumber, the
City filed a complaint for Ms. Gibson and the plumber was arrested. Mr. Baker clarified that
the plumber was not arrested for doing unsilenced work, he was arrested for doing false
advertisement. He added the plumber underbid Ms. Gibson on the job so, he got the job
and the work performed did not require a permit and did not require a licensed plumber,
you could just be a handyman.
Vice Mayor Nabicht stated the City is not the end all, say all; if Ms. Gibson is not satisfied
she can file a complaint with Department of Building & Professional Regulation (DBPR).
Mr. Baker added that the City filed the complaint for Ms. Gibson and that is why the plumber
got arrested.
There were no other questions or comments.

Mayor Masiarczyk adjourned the meeting at 6:06 p.m.

C. Presentation: City of Deltona Sports Facility Needs Assessment - Chris Bowley,
AICP, Planning and Development Services, (386) 878-8602.
Strategic Goal: Infrastructure. Determine a sports facility niche for the City.
Background: The City of Deltona (City) has a 2008 Parks Master Plan that has been
followed for park facility improvements. Since 2008, the City has grown
exponentially, particularly at both ends of the demographic spectrum of
youth and seniors. This has been identified as a need to address in the
City’s Strategic Plan.
On September 12, 2016, the consultant team determined that Deltona
is not currently positioned to take advantage of the Sports Tourism
Market. The emphasis should be on enhancing existing sports
facilities/parks in the City and participatory sports over the more
regionally competitive sports complex centered (some with stadiums)
spectator sports. Two key factors in the analysis were that the City has
a large segment of the population in both youth and seniors and, due to
the construction of multiplex sports facilities within the region, the City
would be entering a very competitive local sports tourism market that
already has facilities.
Thus, the City Commission expressed a desire to address the needs of
City of Deltona Page 2 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Agenda January 17, 2017
local residents first and to focus on participatory sports,
expansion/enhancement of existing sports facilities/parks, and to
address the existing levels of service demands for all segments of our
growing population. The consultant will present this concept that also
focuses on a connection between a city-center concept, the new Center
at Deltona, several schools, a library, the YMCA, parks, open space,
and pedestrian corridors/future trails. The City should also work to build
cooperative partnerships with complementing facilities for recreation in
order to prevent redundancies.

8. CONSENT AGENDA:
9. ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 28-2016, Amending Chapter 94, Impact Fees,
of the Land Development Code, and the City’s Impact Fee Schedule for
Fire/Rescue, Parks, Transportation, and Law Enforcement, at second and final
reading - Chris Bowley, AICP, Planning and Development Services, (386)
878-8602.
Strategic Goal: Other Priority Objectives Identified - Maintain a balanced
budget, reserves, and investments.
Background: Chapter 163.31801, Florida Statutes (FS), allows a local governments
to levy impact fees to off-set “impacts” as a result of new growth.
Specifically, the statutes list that impact fees are “to use in funding the
infrastructure necessitated by new growth. The Legislature further
finds that impact fees are an outgrowth of the home rule power of a
local government to provide certain services within its jurisdiction.”
The statute requires local governments to provide “notice no less than
90 days before the effective date of an ordinance or resolution
City of Deltona Page 3 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Agenda January 17, 2017
imposing a new or increased impact fee.” Ordinance No. 28-2016
complies with this law.
The City collects impact fees for increased intensity of land uses and
has had moratoriums in the past to help businesses locate or expand
within the City. With economic recovery, the City updated its impact
fees for parks, fire rescue, law enforcement, and transportation fees
(water and sewer impact fees are within Deltona Water). In 2007, the
City had an impact fee study completed that created an extensive list of
land uses and fees. Some development applications did not always
match that adopted land use list. The series of adoptions of fees is
included in the composite attachment (see attached).
In 2015, the City contracted Burton & Associates (Burton) to revisit the
adopted impact fees and to create a simplified uniform land use list that
reflects Deltona’s land use pattern. The impact fees for fire/rescue and
law enforcement were found to be comparable to local communities
similar to Deltona and are recommended for adoption. The existing
parks impact fee is higher than comparative communities and Burton
recommends keeping the current parks fee. The proposed
transportation impact fees from Burton for some land use categories is
higher. The City Commission directed staff to revisit those fees and a
comparative analysis was performed. The recommended impact fee
schedule within the attached Ordinance No. 28-2016 is the result of that
analysis. Where the Burton transportation fee was higher than average,
the City’s current fee matching the City’s land development pattern is
recommended to be kept for economic development. It is also
recommended that City impact fees be reviewed at least every five (5)
years to remain current and to minimize large increases per update .
Finally, the Planning & Zoning Board reviewed Ordinance No. 28-2016
on November 16, 2016, and voted unanimously (5-0) for the City
Commission to adopt the ordinance. The City Commission voted
unanimously (7-0) on December 12, 2016, to approve the ordinance at
first reading.

B. Public Hearing - Request for Rehearing of Ordinance No. 30-2016, Rezoning
Request for ±1.46 acres of land located near of the intersection of DeBary Ave.
and Providence Blvd., at first reading - Chris Bowley, AICP, Director of
Planning and Development Services, (386) 878-8602.
City of Deltona Page 4 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Agenda January 17, 2017
Strategic Goal: Economic Development - work with existing businesses to
expand and grow.
Background: The subject site consists of a portion of several Deltona Lakes Plat lots
and tracts, is developed with a single family dwelling, with the
remainder of the site including vacant land. There is also a wetland
area located at the rear of the property. The property is currently zoned
as Professional Business (PB) and is designated as Commercial on
the City’s Future Land Use Map; thus the requested zoning designation
is consistent with the future land use designation. The conventional PB
and proposed C-1 zoning classifications are considered “by-right”
designations that include a range of permitted and conditional uses that
have to conform to the associated performance standards.
The proposed rezoning from PB to C-1 (Retail Commercial) zoning will
allow for a broader range of permitted and conditional land uses
on-site. The parcel to the west has a PB zoning designation, with
medical office, and to the east and south, a C-1 zoning designation.
The property to the east is developed with a 7-11 convenience store.
The proposed rezoning action proposes a joint driveway with the 7-11
site, with utilization of the existing driveway location as a
right-in/right-out along the south side of DeBary Ave.
There is an RP (Resource Protection) zoned tract southeast of the site
and R-1 zoned lands that are developed with single-family homes as
part of the Deltona Lakes Plat to the north. The site is also within the
Enterprise Commercial Overlay District that includes architectural
elements, such as building design, color, and site development
requirements consistent with the Florida vernacular style. Finally, the
Spring-to-Spring recreational trail is adjacent to the property to the
south.
Both the PB and C-1 zoning districts are consistent with the
Commercial future land use designation. The proposed rezoning to C -1
meets adjacency to the 7-11 commercial property to the east and the
facilitation along an arterial roadway to the north. The joint access
driveway proposed facilitates coordinated access management in
relation to the signalized intersection at Providence Blvd. and DeBary
Ave.
While the C-1 zoning designation as a policy decision is consistent and
compatible with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, any development
on-site would have to meet the performance standards of that zoning
district and accompanying land development regulations. Thus,
development will have to comport to internal circulation and trip capture,
utilize suitable soil, provide for safe ingress and egress of both
City of Deltona Page 5 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Agenda January 17, 2017
pedestrians and vehicles, honor building setbacks and landscape
buffers, service area storage, turning radii, solid waste collection,
stormwater management, and emergency response accommodation.
Staff can support a policy decision that is consistent and compatible
with development at intensities, scaling, and massing that properly
utilizes access management on-site and similar to adjacent uses.
On August 17, 2016, the City of Deltona Planning and Zoning Board
heard the rezoning request and voted 5-2, with one member abstaining
due to land ownership nearby, to recommend that the City Commission
deny the rezoning request. The overarching reasons for the Board ’s
denial were lack of horizontal control, resource protection, and land use
compatibility. On September 19, 2016, the City Commission heard the
first reading of Ordinance No. 30-2016 and voted 4-3 to deny the
rezoning request.
Pursuant to Section 110-1005 of the City’s Land Development Code,
the applicant has filed for a rehearing to have Ordinance No. 30-2016
reheard by the City Commission and filed the proper materials to follow
Section 110-1005 of the City’s Land Development Code. Under that
code provision, if the rehearing is not granted, or if the rehearing is
granted and the rezoning request is then denied, a petition for a similar
rezoning cannot take place until at least one year has elapsed from the
date of rendition. If the City Commission decides to grant the rehearing
motion, the City Commission must state its reasons for doing so, and
set a time, date and place for another public hearing with notice to the
public of when it would review the rezoning.
The standards to be considered for a rezoning are as follows. A
rezoning is first reviewed for consistency with the purposes and intent of
the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance, and for the ability of
the application to meet the standards for approval of the application
that are contained in the relevant laws and ordinances governing the
application’s approval. Section 110-1101, Deltona City Code, states
that the City shall consider the following matters when reviewing
applications for amendments to the Official Zoning Map:
1. Whether it is consistent with all adopted elements of the
Comprehensive Plan.
2. Its impact upon the environment or natural resources.
3. Its impact upon the economy of any affected area.
4. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article XIV of the Land
Development Code, Ordinance No. 92-25 [Chapter 86, Code of
Ordinances] as it may be amended from time to time, its impact
upon necessary governmental services, such as schools,
sewage disposal, potable water, drainage, fire and police
City of Deltona Page 6 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Agenda January 17, 2017
protection, solid waste or transportation systems.
5. Any changes in circumstances or conditions affecting the
area: In the last 5-10 years the area has seen significant change.
6. Any mistakes in the original classification.
7. Its effect upon the public health, welfare, safety, or morals.
If an applicant satisfies its burden of proving based on substantial and
competent evidence before the reviewing body that its request is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and required standards in the
zoning code, the burden shifts to the local government to prove based
on substantial competent evidence that maintaining the existing zoning
accomplishes a legitimate public purpose.
A rezoning is quasi-judicial in nature and must be based on substantial
competent evidence. The opinions of staff and other professionals in
their fields of expertise would constitute competent substantial
evidence, as well as the recommendation of a planning commission, if
its recommendation is based on competent substantial evidence
before it. The City staff report was thorough and recommended
approval, in part due to adjacency. The planning commission ’s vote did
not recommend approval. Testimony from the public is generally not
competent substantial evidence on matters, which are technical in
nature, but may be considered if based on a matter of which the
individual had firsthand knowledge or how a proposal would affect the
person’s quality of life. Argument by attorneys is not viewed as
competent substantial evidence

C. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 32-2016, Rezoning ±1.67 acres located at 3151
Howland Blvd. from C-2 (General Commercial) to C-1 (Retail Commercial), at
second and final reading - Ron A. Paradise, Assistant Director, Planning and

for commercial growth.

by a parking lot. The facility now has vacant leasable area that has

been difficult to fill. Therefore, the owner is requesting the property be
rezoned from C-2 to C-1 to allow for a house of worship as a permitted
use, which is interested in becoming a tenant. No daycare facility or
other ancillary uses potentially associated with churches are planned.
The requested C-1 zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan,
does not result in the creation of non-conforming uses and structures,
and is compatible with existing commercial and institutional land uses
(Deltona High School, four houses of worship) in the immediate area.
For more information, including graphics, see the attached staff report .
Through this action, the entire site is proposed to be rezoned. The
Planning & Zoning Board voted unanimously (5-0) on November 16,
2016, to recommend City Commission adoption of the ordinance and
the City Commission voted 6-1 at their December 12, 2016, public
hearing to approve Ordinance No. 32-2016.
