9. ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARINGS:
ItemA.
Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 30-2016, Rezone 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 is a rehearing of a zoning request “only” for the 1.46
acres located at the intersection of DeBary Avenue and Providence Blvd.
City Manager Shang reminded anyone who has had any ex-parte communications
regarding this item whether it be a phone call, email, letter or other it must be made known.
There were no other comments on this item.
B. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 34-2016, Amending the Comprehensive
Plan of the City of Deltona Capital Improvements Element, at second and
final reading - Ron A. 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 an ordinance amending the Capital Improvements
Element (CIE) of the Comprehensive Plan for the second and final reading. He asked if
there was any new information and Mr. Paradise responded "no".
Commissioner Soukup asked if the City is projecting 120,000 people in Deltona in the
future but the fees stay at $150,000 shouldn't the impact fees be going up. Mr. Bowley
responded that it is recommended that the fee schedule be reviewed every five (5) years
and we just approved this schedule. He stated we will revisit it in another five (5) years and
that it would track with the increase in population and you keep those as close as possible
with each other. Mr. Clinger stated his understanding is that the impact fee does not track
with the population, it tracks with construction so that increase from year to year remains
relatively constant over time. Commissioner Soukup asked is that based off that 3% impact
fee. Mr. Clinger stated that is a onetime shot for the City and if the growth from year to year
stays relatively constant your revenue will stay the same and ultimately your population will
be higher. Mr. Bowley stated it is presumed that an increase in population means an
increase in impact so you want to make sure you get your impact fee as close to the
potential impacts that will be occurring with the greater population.

There were no other questions or comments.
C. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 35-2016, Small Scale Future Land Use Map
Amendment Application for property located at the southeast corner of the
intersection of Normandy and Saxon Boulevards, at first reading - Ron A.
Paradise, Assistant Director, Planning and Development Services, (386)
878-8610.
Strategic Goal: Economic Development, determine the business niche for
the City to target/pursue.
Mayor Masiarczyk stated this item is a future land use map amendment application at
Normandy Blvd. and Saxon Blvd. intersection.
Commissioner Soukup asked if the lots are owned by one (1) person or by individuals and
Mr. Bowley responded the lots are under unified ownership.
Mayor Masiarczyk stated the Commissioners have received emails on this one also. City
Manager Shang passed out a letter that she received a couple of hours earlier today
explaining it is from an attorney who represents Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pimenta who own a
home adjacent to the assembled parcels. Mayor Masiarczyk stated this is new information
for the Commission to review during break. City Manager Shang stated on the letter it says
it was hand-delivered and emailed to the City Commission and she is not aware of anyone
receiving this on Friday which is the date of the letter.
Commissioner Herzberg asked if that home was part of the original grouping of homes and
were they asked to be included because, there is a for sale by owner sign there. Mr. Bowley
responded that parcel was not. Mayor Masiarczyk stated he had some information to share
at the regular meeting regarding this.
There were no other questions or comments.
D. Request for approval of Resolution No.2017-04 declaring certain property
of the City as surplus and authorizing the sale or disposal of such
property-various departments

address at the regular meeting.
There were no questions or other comments on this item.
E. Public Hearing - Resolution No. 2017-01, Variance Request to locate a Shed
City of Deltona Page 3 Printed on 6/4/2020
City Commission Minutes February 20, 2017
on R-1 Zoned property - Ron A. Paradise, Assistant Director, Planning and
Development Services, (386) 878-8610.
Strategic Goal: Public Safety, focus on City beautification.
Mayor Masiarczyk stated this item is regarding a shed on a property and when you look at
the pictures it looks like it is just a judgment call for the Commission. He stated it is his
understanding that requests for variances have to have some justification of an issue or
hardship. It was determined the justification was due to the slope of the land and Mayor
Masiarczyk stated that can be discussed at the regular meeting.
Commissioner Honaker stated property lines and fences on lakes are things we are looking
at now and he believes the property lines are too stringent.
Commissioner Soukup asked if the City will ever need to get through there and Mayor
Masiarczyk responded this is something that needs to be discussed at the meeting.
There were no other questions or comments.
F. Public Hearing - Resolution No. 2017-03, Budget Transfer of Grant Funds for
Community Development Block Grant, Neighborhood Stabilization
Programs, and State Housing Initiative Partnership - Chris Bowley, AICP,
Director, Planning and Development Services, (386) 878-8602.
Strategic Goal: Economic Development - create more diversified and high
quality housing opportunities.
Mayor Masiarczyk stated this budget transfer is grant money for the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program and is just the standard.
Commissioner Soukup asked why there is left over money and Mr. Bowley responded it is
due to the timing of the parks projects that were already identified as projects the City
wanted to do and then the City had to spend the money in a certain time period and these
funds are to be spent in this current fiscal year. Commissioner Soukup stated there are
more than parks projects in this item. Mr. Bowley responded "yes" there is Neighborhood
Stabilization Program (NSP) funds in the item as well and these funds are to be used
primarily for the parks projects to be completed. Commissioner Soukup asked about there
being State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) funds in the item also. Mr. Bowley
responded "yes" there is housing money in there as well and he explained there has been
quite a bit of spending of SHIP funds and that when we get the applications in, we process
them as soon as we can.
Commissioner Herzberg commented that she has known several people that have had
hardships, looked at SHIP funding and have gone through the meetings but, at the end the
City of Deltona Page 4 Printed on 6/4/2020
City Commission Minutes February 20, 2017
people decided that the commitment was not going to work for them. She stated she
assumes you start with a pool of people, you have an allocated amount of money and
people just drop out so she understands why there is some variation for not being able to
dedicate all the funding in one (1) year. Mayor Masiarczyk commented that when you have
people drop out you have money for new people to apply, that takes time and that is what
the carry-over is for.
Commissioner Soukup asked why there are not alternates and Mayor Masiarczyk
responded if you get people’s hopes up and then the people do not get the money they may
have passed up other options to get the money.
Commissioner Herzberg asked if we do not have enough applicants sometime and Mr .
Bowley responded that there is usually a surplus of applicants but, it depends on the
funding; sometimes the City receives $0 dollars and then the City receives $92,000 another
year and then $98,000 another year. Mr. Bowley stated it sounds like a lot of money but, it is
really not when it comes to home repair and there is a preference for low and very low
income to address the greater need. Commissioner Herzberg stated the SHIP funds come
from the State Sadowski Trust Fund and for a while the State was using that trust fund to
balance the budget. She stated the State was asked to either stop the SHIP Program or
stop using the funds for other things; there was a settlement made and then the City began
receiving larger amounts afterwards. Mr. Bowley explained when someone applies, you get
an up to an amount but, then it is based on a cost estimate to make the repairs and whether
the applicant stays in the program.
Commissioner Soukup asked how many applicants the program gets and Mr. Bowley
responded the program qualifies and spends on about 20 - 25 applicants per year out of
about 50 - 60 who apply and there is a lot of need with 33,000 homes in the City.
There were no other questions or comments.
10. OLD BUSINESS:
11. NEW BUSINESS:
A. Consideration of appointment of two (2) members to the Ordinance Review
Committee. - Joyce Raftery, City Clerk’s Office (386) 878-8502.
Strategic Goal: Internal and external communication.
Mayor Masiarczyk stated this item is to appoint two (2) members to the Ordinance Review
Committee (ORC) and these are Commissioner Alcantara’s and Commissioner Soukup's
appointments.
Commissioner Soukup asked who heads that committee and Mr. Bowley responded the
City of Deltona Page 5 Printed on 6/4/2020
City Commission Minutes February 20, 2017
Planning & Development Department does. Commissioner Soukup stated he spoke with
the committee member who resigned to move to Georgia and she said everything was fine,
good things were done but, her only concern was that they only got to look at what the
Commission sent them; so being that they are on the ORC, they know the ordinances and
would like to make changes to other ordinances, they were not allowed. He asked if there
was any way that group could send any concerns to the Commission if they see anything .
Mayor Masiarczyk responded when the policy was created for that committee the policy
was set that way to avoid the committee going into all areas that the City was not ready to
address which would set the Commission's agenda. He stated the Commission said
specifically that the Commission would give direction to the committee on what ordinances
to review. Commissioner Soukup asked how the committee could go about looking at and
making suggestions on other ordinances and Mayor Masiarczyk suggested the committee
could petition the Commission and ask to review another ordinance and the Commission
would give direction on whether or not the committee can proceed. Mayor Masiarczyk
stated that many of the ordinances are cross referenced with several departments and the
Commission would not want the committee to think the Commission was not taking the
committee's work seriously. He stated however, he did not believe there would be any
objection by the Commission if the committee found a glaring error to bring that to the
Commission for direction on how to proceed.
Commissioner Herzberg commented she agreed that the purpose for having the ORC was
to involve residents and get their view on issues in the City and if there is an issue the ORC
feels strongly about as a group then the group should be able to bring that issue forward .
Mayor Masiarczyk responded this issue had not been brought up before but, he did not feel
the Commission would have a problem with the committee bringing up an issue with Mr .
Bowley and Mr. Bowley bringing it to the Commission for direction.
There were no other questions or comments.

amend Deltona City Charter - Chief Assistant City Attorney Wade Vose,
Legal Department (386) 878-8852.

There were no questions or comments on this item.

Commission is scheduled to have a Special Commission Workshop that is the continuation
of the tabled meeting regarding our Operating Guidelines and Meeting Rules and
Procedures on Thursday, February 23rd at 5:30 p.m. She stated she does not know
depending on the discussion with the City Attorney whether we should move that meeting .
Mayor Masiarczyk responded he did not want to influence that but, it may depend on how
that last item comes out tonight and at that time the Commission can decide whether to
move that meeting or add it to that agenda.
Commissioner Soukup asked if the meeting could be moved to Wednesday and it was
determined there were scheduling conflicts on Wednesday.

District schedule someone to present the invocation at each Regular
City Commission meeting rotating each Commissioner by District
starting with District #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6 and the Mayor.

CONSENT AGENDA: The consent agenda contains items that have been determined
to be routine and non-controversial. If anyone in the audience wishes to address a
particular item on the consent agenda, now is the opportunity for you to do so.
Additionally, if staff or members of the City Commission wish to speak on a consent
item, they have the same opportunity.
8. CONSENT AGENDA:
9. ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARINGS:
Ite Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 30-2016, Rezone Request for ±1.46 acres of
mA 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.
Background: The subject site consists of a portion of several Deltona Lakes Plat lots
and tracts, is developed with a single family home and the remainder of
the site is vacant land. There is a wetland area located at the rear of the
property. The property is currently zoned Professional Business (PB)
and is designated as Commercial on the City’s Future Land Use Map;
thus, the zoning and future land use designations are consistent.
The existing PB and proposed C-1 zoning classifications are
considered “by-right” designations that includes a range of permitted
and conditional uses that shall to conform to the associated zoning
district performance standards and site constraints. Ordinance No .
30-2016 is a proposed rezoning request policy decision that, if
adopted, will allow for a greater range of land uses approved for the
C-1 zoning district with the potential for more intensive uses. The
rezoning action does not automatically result in development of more
intensive land uses, as that is dependent upon factors such as land use,
trip generation, floor area ratio, etc. per use.
The subject site is also bisected from existing residential land uses that
have an R-1 zoning classification by a four-lane arterial roadway to the
north. The R-1 zoned land to the south has a conservation overlay on it,
the Spring-to-Spring recreational trail bisect that land from the site, and
there is an RP (Resource Protection) zoning designation on adjoining
land to the south. The subject site is also within the Enterprise
Commercial Overlay District that requires Florida-vernacular style
City of Deltona Page 2 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Agenda February 20, 2017
architectural elements.
Finally, on August 17, 2016, the City of Deltona Planning and Zoning
Board heard the rezoning request and voted to recommend that the
City Commission approve the ordinance, which failed with a vote of 2-3
(two members for, three members against, one member absent, and
one member abstaining due to land ownership nearby). On September
19, 2016, the City Commission heard a first reading of the ordinance
and voted to deny the ordinance with the reasons of a constrained site,
traffic safety concerns, and the site being non-compatible with the R-1
zoned property to the south. Following use of the procedures to petition
for a rehearing and administrative res judicata in Section 110-1005 of
the City’s Land Development Code, on January 17, 2017, the applicant
received approval for this rehearing of Ordinance No. 30-2016 to be
heard at first reading of the ordinance.

B. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 34-2016, Amending the Comprehensive Plan of
the City of Deltona Capital Improvements Element, at second and final reading -
Ron A. Paradise, Assistant Director, Planning and Development Services, (386)
878-8610.
Strategic Goal: Infrastructure - create a utility master plan consistent with
zoning.
Background: Pursuant to Chapter 163.3177(3)(b) F.S., the Capital Improvements
Element (CIE) in the City’s Comprehensive Plan must be reviewed and
updated on an annual basis. The proposed amendment provides for
the replacement of the Capital Improvements Project sheets (in
strike-through/underline format) through the adoption of the CIE report
and submittal to the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity
(DEO).
Staff reviewed the current class “A” concurrency items and summarized
expenditures/funds carried over for the next five (5) years to ensure
compliance with the adopted level of service (LOS) standards. All
financial and budgetary information in this CIE report was derived from
the most recently adopted City budget. The Planning and Zoning Board
reviewed Ordinance No. 34-2016 and CIE report at their December 21,
2016, meeting and voted unanimously (6-0) to recommend that the City
Commission adopt Ordinance No. 34-2016. On January 17, 2017, City
Commission voted unanimously (7-0) to approve Ordinance No.
34-2016, at first reading.

C. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 35-2016, Small Scale Future Land Use Map
Amendment Application for property located at the southeast corner of the
intersection of Normandy and Saxon Boulevards, at first reading - Ron A.
Paradise, Assistant Director, Planning and Development Services, (386)
878-8610.
Strategic Goal: Economic Development, determine the business niche for the
City to target/pursue.
Background: This proposed Small Scale Future Land Use Map amendment is to
change the future land use designation for ±2.5 acres of land from Low
Density Residential to Commercial. The property consists of nine (9)
platted lots, of which seven (7) lots are developed with single family
homes. The intent of the application is to facilitate the redevelopment of
the property for commercial uses. In review, the proposed Commercial
designation for the site is appropriate within the year 2025
Comprehensive Plan planning period. This proposed map amendment,
as a policy decision, will permit a range of uses for a future rezoning
action, but does not assign development rights. A future rezoning
action, also a policy decision, would assign development rights. Site
design, scaling, massing, and orientation-related matters will be
addressed at the site plan review level at the Development Review
Committee.
Changes to the City’s Future Land Use Map requires a review
regarding infrastructure needed to support development of the property .
Based on staff analysis, commercial use on the site can be supported
by public infrastructure. The applicant submitted a traffic impact
analysis (TIA) that assumed a ±5,943 SF convenience store with
multiple fueling bays for the TIA analysis. Both staff and a peer review
consultant found the TIA method to be sound and recognizes capacity
on the adjacent roadway network to support the Commercial
designation. The property is located at a strategic intersection of two
heavily-traffic thoroughfares that provide direct access to the Interstate
4. In addition, the property is located within the new Southwest Deltona
Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) that identifies a specific
geography for redevelopment activity.
Thus, the proposed land use change is consistent with the City
Comprehensive Plan and furthers City economic development goals.
The property owners had the intent of commercial development on -site
for the land assemblage to be at a signalized commercial corner and
City of Deltona Page 4 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Agenda February 20, 2017
fosters the purpose and intent of the CRA. Finally, the Planning &
Zoning Board (Board) reviewed the ordinance at their January 18,
2017, meeting and voted 2-2 on a motion to recommend approval of
the ordinance to the City Commission; with three members absent.
With the split vote, the Board decided not to hear the accompanying
rezoning request. The rezoning application will be brought to the Board
following decision by the City Commission on Ordinance No. 35-2016.

D. Request for approval of Resolution No.2017-04 declaring certain property of
the City as surplus and authorizing the sale or disposal of such
property-various departments
Background: Over time certain items of the City become obsolete or lose their
usefulness via replacement, upgrade, or they are no longer functional
and need to be declared surplus and disposed of by the most
appropriate means available. The attached Resolution declares certain
vehicles, equipment, computer related equipment and miscellaneous
items as surplus.

E. Public Hearing - Resolution No. 2017-01, Variance Request to locate a Shed
on R-1 Zoned property - Ron A. Paradise, Assistant Director, Planning and
Development Services, (386) 878-8610.
Strategic Goal: Public Safety, focus on City beautification.
Background: This petition for a zoning ordinance hardship is to locate a 12’X20’, 240
square foot shed on a single-family residential developed Deltona
Lakes Plat lot. The applicant requests that the accessory structure be
located as an encroachment of 7-ft. within the 10-ft. rear yard setback
and 2-ft. within the 6-ft. side yard setback. The purpose of building
setbacks as platted are to provide site function and adjacency for
adjoining properties. The proposed 12’X20’ shed can be located on
the subject property without the variance. Options are illustrated in the
attached staff report (i.e. the shed could be smaller, reoriented on the
City of Deltona Page 5 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Agenda February 20, 2017
lot, etc.) Also, the City issued 377 shed permits on similarly situated
R-1 zoned lots within the last two (2) years without the need for a
variance.
On January 18, the Planning & Zoning Board voted unanimously (4-0),
with three members absent, to recommend that the City Commission
deny the variance request. In accordance with 110-1001 of the City
Land Development Code, a variance request needs to be approved by
a super majority vote of the City Commission. For more information,
see the attached staff report and accompanying illustrations.

F. Public Hearing - Resolution No. 2017-03, Budget Transfer of Grant Funds for
Community Development Block Grant, Neighborhood Stabilization Programs,
and State Housing Initiative Partnership - Chris Bowley, AICP, Director,
Planning and Development Services, (386) 878-8602.
Strategic Goal: Economic Development - create more diversified and high
quality housing opportunities.
Background: The City of Deltona’s Housing and Community Development Section
operates grant funds for an array of regulatory strategies. The U .S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides
federal grant funds for the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) and Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) 1 and 3
initiatives. These funds are used towards housing assistance, social
services, and City capital projects, such as adding to parks and public
works projects that help to off-set General Fund expenditures. The City
also receives Florida State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) grant
funds. City staff operates these funds within regulatory guidelines and
tracks their expenditures.
The proposed action for this item is to carryforward unused funds from
the prior fiscal year (FY 2015/16) to the current fiscal year (FY2016/17).
The proposed fund re-allocations are within their respective grant fund
programs and do not require or impact the City’s General Fund
City of Deltona Page 6 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Agenda February 20, 2017
budgetary fund balance. Specifically, for CDBG, the funds will be
applied to add playground equipment and resurfacing material for
Butler Park, construction for additional parking area for Dewey O.
Boster Park, and home repairs for a total of $266,752. In NSP 1,
$309,678 will be used towards home repair and administration for the
remaining homes in the program; and in NSP 3, $223,738 will be used
for the same purpose. In SHIP, $84,563 of the funds will be applied
towards home repair and financial counseling. The attached budget
amendments per program illustrate the proposed budget transfers.

Background: As the recitals indicate, it seemed the least controversial route to
effectuating the relevant charter provision was to model the required
form, content, and certification of petitions to amend the City Charter on
the analogous process set forth in Rules 1S-2.009 and 1S-2.0091,
Florida Administrative Code, relating to petitions to amend the Florida
Constitution. This draft ordinance tracks those rules and adapts them to
Deltona.
