F. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 02-2021, Rezoning +129.02 acres from
Industrial to Industrial Planned Unit Development (IPUD), at first reading - Ron
A. Paradise, Director, Planning and Development Services (386) 878-8610.
Strategic Goal: Economic development - Business Niche.
Background: The +129.02-acre tract, referred to as the Portland Industrial Park, is
currently zoned Industrial and distribution and manufacturing uses are
permitted within the Industrial classification. However, the property is
located within the Activity Center. The Activity Center is a special
planning area where urban type of uses including employment centers
are envisioned. To implement the provisions of the Activity Center, all
significant developments are required to be processed as Planned Unit
Developments (PUDs).
The Industrial PUD will allow distribution and light industrial uses as
permitted principal uses. Other uses include office and flex space .
Finally, service commercial type activities including convenience stores
and restaurants are allowed as ancillary uses. The scale of these
commercial uses will be limited to 15,000 square feet.
With regard to industrial and distribution uses, the storage, processing,
handling, manufacturing or transport of hazardous, radioactive, or
explosive materials will not be allowed. In addition, heavy industrial
uses like foundries or slaughter houses are prohibited.
The initial proposal for the Portland Industrial Park IPUD is to create six
outparcels and two larger land reservations for distribution and light
manufacturing uses. There are modern distribution type uses included
as options within the IPUD, including a high-cube warehouse. As
proposed, the industrial/distribution areas of the property will be
occupied by large, high volume, logistics-oriented users. At buildout,
the project should in total yield just over two (2) million square feet of
gross floor area. Depending on end user activity, the realization of the
two (2) million square feet could be realized relatively quickly or over a
period of years.
For more information on the project see the attached staff report .
Please note, a written Development Agreement and Master
Development Plan is attached under separate cover.
On May 19, 2021, the Planning and Zoning Board heard the IPUD
request. The Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously as part of a
quasi-judicial hearing to recommend the City Commission approve the
requested IPUD by adopting Ordinance No. 02-2021. At the Planning
City of Deltona Page 6 Printed on 6/17/2021
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting June 21, 2021
and Zoning Board, the applicant also proposed a second option with
regard to general project design. None of the controlling factors
including transportation requirements, use requirements, etc .
associated with the IPUD are proposed to change. The difference
between the attached Master Development Plan and a second
development option is the number of out parcels have been reduced .
Under this scenario, larger, more unified
distribution/warehouse/manufacturing development formats can be
accommodated. In addition, the internal roadway network has been
reconfigured. When presented with the request of the applicant to
incorporate a second option as part of the Portland Industrial Park
IPUD, the Planning and Zoning Board directed Staff, as part of the
motion to recommend approval, of the rezoning request to incorporate
this concept into the Development Agreement. To implement this
direction attached is a revised Development Agreement and an Option
One (1) and Option Two (2) Master Development Plan. Language
additions within the updated Development Agreement are presented in
an underline format. The revised Development Agreement is
referenced as “Portland Industrial DA Multiple Options”.
The Acting City Manager has the authority to make corrections of
scrivener’s errors and the like.
The Portland Industrial Park represents a continuation of a distribution
trend established by Amazon. Portland Industrial Park also portends a
significant private investment within the City.
As with any land use decision, there are alternatives for policymakers to
contemplate. In the case of the Portland Industrial Park IPUD rezoning,
basic alternatives include approval of the rezoning request or denial.
The City may attempt to the modify terms of the development which
would result in the development being approved.
The two following alternatives, including some advantages,
disadvantages, and evidentiary rationales for each approach are
offered for the appointed and elected officials to consider:
1) Deny the IPUD request.
Advantages: The property will remain forested and undeveloped.
There will be less traffic, including heavy truck traffic on City roadways,
and the City will not have to make roadway improvements in the short
term. The City will not have to provide fire and law enforcement services
to the project.
Disadvantages: The jobs/housing imbalance associated with a large
percentage of the working population commuting for work outside of the
City will remain. The City will not receive an increase in the tax base
City of Deltona Page 7 Printed on 6/17/2021
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting June 21, 2021
from the investment associated with Portland Industrial Park.
Rationale for Denial - Findings of Fact:
The property has environmental resources, including wildlife habitat.
Development of the property will result in the loss of open space.
Truck traffic on City roadways will not be increased.
The City can further delay the need for improving roads since vacant
land does not generate traffic.
2) Approve the IPUD Request.
Advantages: The City has earmarked the PIP land for years for
industrial, employment oriented development. The project will address
the jobs/housing imbalance and bring living wage jobs to the City, likely
featuring benefit packages. The City tax base will be increased. Also,
the land proposed to support the Portland Industrial Park is suitable to
support intensive urban development. The property does not have
wetlands or floodplains, and the soils are sandy and well drained.
Finally, the project can be served with public facilities like roadways
and utilities.
Disadvantages: The project will create traffic, including heavy truck
traffic on City roads. The City will have to make eventual investments in
the transportation network, including upgrading N. Normandy Blvd. The
development of the property will result in a loss of open space.
Rationale for Approval - Findings of Fact:
Portland Industrial Park will create jobs within the City and help address
the jobs/housing imbalance.
Most jobs created will be in distribution and manufacturing, which are
full time and higher paying than most service sector jobs.
Distribution and manufacturing jobs are more likely to have benefits
such as healthcare coverage.
Portland Industrial Park, utilizing Amazon as a comparable, would
generate approximately $650,000 per year in taxes at present millage
rates.
The project can be served by public facilities like roads utilizing existing
capacity or making fair share payments.
Portland Industrial Park is located on land long planned for intensive
uses and employment oriented development; is situated in an area of
existing and planned commercial and industrial development; and is
located well away from residential neighborhoods.
The project is consistent with the City Economic Development Goals.
The Portland Industrial Park IPUD is consistent with the City
Comprehensive Plan.

7. OLD BUSINESS:
A. Request to re-rank the applicants for Charter Review Committee and appoint
five members and two alternate members - Joyce Raftery, City Clerk (386)
878-8502.
Strategic Goal: Internal & External Communications
Background: At the June 7th, 2021 Regular Commission Meeting staff announced
two alternate members to the Charter Review Committee based on the
Commission’s rankings. However, staff missed read the totals and
should have announced that Marisol Ortiz-Morale and Dr. Caroline
Shine were the two alternates.
In addition, one application was submitted after the ranking took place
on June 7th and another application was overlooked due to the
department being short staffed. The department has been
overwhelmed with public records requests, staff was not getting the
applications, one staff member resigned and several staff have been
out for one reason or another.
In order to be fair and transparent staff is recommending that the
Commission re-rank all 12 applications.
OPTIONS:
1. To rank the attached 12 applicants, select five Charter Review
Committee Members and two alternates,
2. Appoint three alternate members to the Charter Review Committee
based on the June 7th rankings, or
3. Keep the five Charter Review Committee Members and two

B. Request to approve a contract with Community Solutions Group (GAI) to
complete a Parks and Recreation Master Plan - Ryan Reckley, Parks &
Recreation Department (386) 878-8902
Strategic Goal: Infrastructure
Background: The City of Deltona Parks and Recreation Department last completed a
Parks Master Plan process in 2007 / 2008. The National Recreation and
Parks Association (NRPA) industry standard is to have a comprehensive
parks master planning process completed every 8-10 years. The City has
experienced significant population growth since the completion of the 2007 /
2008 Master Plan. This process will provide a comprehensive needs
assessment of our existing facilities and conditions, level of service
standards and the development of a capital improvement plan to include
funding and implementation. In addition, the Parks department intends to
apply for CAPRA certification which is a nationally accredited certification
program. One of the required elements of the CAPRA certification process
is to have a current master plan in place. When the parks department
successfully completes the CAPRA certification process, we will be the only
parks and recreation department in Volusia County that is nationally
accredited and completion of an updated master plan process is a crucial
step in that process.
Staff has negotiated a Scope of Services with Community Solutions Group
(GAI) in the amount of $123,990 to complete the Parks Master Plan for the
City of Deltona. Staff is recommending a contingency of $6,010 (approx.
4.9%) for a total of $130,000.
OPTIONS:
1. Complete a new comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master
Plan with Community Solutions Group in the amount of $123,990
with a contingency of $6,010 as part of the process for the Parks
Department to be nationally accredited.
2. Do nothing

C. Consideration of approval of Settlement Agreement in David Foote v. City of
Deltona, John Peters, Acting City Manager. (386) 878-8850.
Strategic Goal: Fiscal Issues
Background: In 2020, a lawsuit was filed against the City of Deltona by a Deltona
resident alleging severe damage to his property from sewer back up
due to power failures at lift stations 7&8. The damages alleged in the
lawsuit occurred in 2018, and the resident’s claims initially were
processed under the City’s no-fault insurance policy through its insurer.
City of Deltona Page 11 Printed on 6/17/2021
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting June 21, 2021
Unusually, while the City’s insurance policy for sewer and water from
2017 through 2019 (with 2 claims filed) did provide for settlement
coverage, it did not provide an insurance attorney from the carrier to
defend the City in court. This case is normally the type of case that
would be handled by insurance counsel, not the City itself. In this
instance, however, the City Attorney’s office was required to defend the
case.
After Assistant City Attorney had several meetings with City staff in the
public works department, meetings with the prior Interim City Manager,
and after reviewing the insurance carrier file concerning the history of
resident’s property, it became apparent that sewer and flooding issues
have occurred at this location multiple times since at least 2002 due to
problems with the City’s lift stations. Starting in 2002, the carrier would
settle the claim filed by Mr. Foote as a cash settlement, but we were
unable to find any coordination with Public Works at that time to require
the funds paid to Mr. Foote be applied to fixing the problem. It also
became apparent that most if not all the City’s employees who were
involved in handling the alleged damages at this property over the past
two decades no longer work for the City and thus would not be available
as witnesses in the City’s defense.
During a highly contentious litigation process, the City Attorney’s office
was able to negotiate a draft settlement agreement to be considered by
the commission. Reaching this potential agreement avoided a jury trial
that was set for April of 2021. Upon review and discussion with the City
Attorneys, I realized that the City had the ability to fix this problem, and I
have engaged with Public Works in creating the necessary fix. I also
have, using my credentials as an professional engineer, offered my
expertise to the Insurance Carrier with regard to settlement of Mr.
Foote’s claim.
Due to the critical timeframe in this matter, as dictated by the Judge
overseeing this case, the approval of this item authorizes the necessary
budget transfer to facilitate Commission approval and further authorizes
the Acting City Manager to sign the settlement agreement documents
necessary to further Commission approval.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve Settlement Agreement
2. Deny Settlement Agreement and face possible Contempt of Court

pump station that pumps to Clearwater Lake which discharges via
gravity flow to Fieldstone Lake.
Construction of the project is anticipated to be performed by City
Crews utilizing Community Development Block Grant CDBG funds in
Fiscal Year 2021-2022.
City of Deltona Page 14 Printed on 6/17/2021
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting June 21, 2021
It should be noted that the majority of nuisance flooding along
Providence Blvd. is located south of the Normandy Blvd. intersection.
