9. ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 36-2016, Zoning Amendment (RZ16-004) for
property located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Normandy and
Saxon Boulevards, at first reading - Chris Bowley, AICP, Director, Planning and
Development Services, (386) 878-8602.
Strategic Goal: Economic Development, determine the business niche for the
City to target/pursue.
Background: This proposed zoning amendment is to change the designation for ±2.5
acres of land from R-1 (Single-Family) to C-1 (Retail 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
ultimately facilitate the redevelopment of the property for commercial
uses at a major intersection. Adoption of Ordinance No. 36-2016 as the
rezoning action accompanying is predicated on a corresponding future
land use map amendment proposed in Ordinance No. 35-2016.
Ordinance No. 35-2016 received approval from the City Commission at
first reading, and Volusia Growth Management Commission (VGMC)
certification (see the attached letter from the VGMC). Upon adoption of
City of Deltona Page 4 Printed on 6/3/2020
City Commission Agenda April 3, 2017
Ordinance No. 35-2016, this zoning amendment could be adopted, as
well.
The proposed site is within the City’s Southwest Deltona Community
Redevelopment Area (CRA). Upon adoption of Ordinance No.
35-2016, the rezoning would be consistent with the underlying
Commercial future land use designation, and any development on -site
would have to be consistent with the performance standards listed in
the Land Development Code (LDC) for the C-1 zoning district.
Approval of the rezoning application allows the potential for permitted
or conditional uses to be developed on-site and the site design and
construction for any use would have to conform to City regulations. The
site is contemplated for redevelopment within the City’s CRA.
Finally, the Planning and Zoning Board reviewed Ordinance No.
36-2016 at the March 15, 2017, meeting and voted 3-2 for the City
Commission to adopt the ordinance. Two members were absent, three
members were in support of the application, and two members
expressed neighborhood compatibility and site development concerns.
