6. ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARINGS:
A. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 01-2022, rezoning request (RZ21-0006) for a
±19.84 acre tract from Single Family Classification (R-1) to Residential Planned
Unit Development (RPUD), at first reading - Ron A. Paradise, Community
Development Director, (386) 878-8610.
Strategic Goal: Economic Development - Create more diversified & high-quality
housing opportunities to provide for all market demands.
Background: The City of Deltona received an application for a rezoning to change
the zoning on a ±19.84 acre parcel from Single Family Classification
(R-1) to Residential Planned Unit Development (RPUD). The project is
planned to feature 52 lots for detached single family dwellings. The
minimum lot size within the project is 4,800 square feet. The project,
known as Island Walk North, is located on the east side of Parma Drive,
City of Deltona Page 2 Printed on 2/17/2022
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting February 21, 2022
just east of the Lake Helen Osteen Road corridor. The project will have
one access point to Parma Drive and a gated and stabilized
emergency access will be provided to Fox Chapel Court cul-de-sac.
The project features community amenities including natural
preservation land and an open play area. For more information relating
to the project, see the attached staff report and related graphics.
There have been questions raised as to how density is calculated
according to the City of Deltona Land Development Code. Opinions
have been expressed that a proposed minimum lot size calculated in
square footage is divided by one acre (43,560 square feet) and that
represents the density of a proposed project. This opinion of density
calculation does not meet the Land Development Code definition of
‘Density’ and how density is calculated in the City of Deltona.
In plain language, calculating the density of a proposed project is based
on the overall size of the parcel requested to be rezoned divided by the
proposed number of lots.
The City Code defines ‘Density’ as follows: “Total number of dwellings
per net acre of land”. For purposes of applying a specified density
regulation, a fractional part of an acre will permit the fractional part of
the number of dwelling units allowed for a full acre; calculations resulting
in a fractional part of a dwelling [dwelling units] shall be rounded up to
the next whole number of dwellings [dwelling units] whenever the
fractional part of a dwelling [unit] is one-half or greater.”
Applying the definition of ‘Density’ requires a “net acre of land”
determination based on the land features of the property proposed to
be rezoned. Land features that are to be deducted from “net acre of
land” include open waterbodies/courses such as lakes or rivers;
dedicated roadway rights of way, and already developed land. Land
features that are considered “net acre of land” for the purposes of
calculating density also include - non-open water wetlands such as
emergent herbaceous or forested systems, floodplain areas, protected
species or other wildlife habitat (Development within listed species
habitat will require permitting and if necessary, mitigation.), forested
uplands, etc. and these features are not deducted from “net acre of
land”.
Under the City Code, the project known as Island Walk North does not
display any land features that would qualify as a deduction from the “net
acre of land” to calculate density. Therefore, there are 19.84 acres of
land as part of the Island Walk North RPUD. The applicant has
proposed 52 units which under the City’s definition of density results in
2.62 units per acre.
Under the existing zoning classification of the site (R-1), no
City of Deltona Page 3 Printed on 2/17/2022
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting February 21, 2022
development agreement is required between the City and the property
owner/developer. The Island Walk North RPUD Development
Agreement (DA) contains the obligations of the owner/developer and
the City, and lays out the various conditions and standards that will
control the development of the property (i.e. amenities, overflow
parking, Homeowner Association, environmental protection
requirements, etc.). The DA also illustrates how the property will be
developed by articulating requirements such as minimum lot sizes,
setbacks, etc.
On December 15, 2021, the Planning and Zoning Board heard the
Island Walk North RPUD rezoning request. The Planning and Zoning
Board voted six to one to forward this ordinance to the City
Commission with a recommendation to deny the RPUD rezoning
request. Reasons cited for the denial include the property was not
compatible with the surrounding neighborhood because the project was
too dense and the project was not adequately buffered from adjacent
uses.
There have been questions about the floodplain status associated with
the subject property. According to FIRM Panel 12127C0630K, effective
09/29/2017, the current floodplain designation for this area is AE-27,
with a base flood elevation (BFE) of 27 feet above sea level. In 2019,
the City’s consultant undertook a comprehensive flood study and
submitted the results to Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) in the form of a Physical Map Revision in April of 2020.
Subsequently, the FEMA consultant reviewed and sent comments back
twice, and the last reply from the City’s consultant was in April of 2021.
None of the comments pertained to the new proposed BFEs, only
cleaning up some of the line work. The update to this flood zone is
going to expand on the subject property (and local) area from a BFE of
27 feet to 28.8 feet above sea level. Basically after FEMA accepts the
change to 28.8 feet above sea level more of the property proposed to
be rezoned will be included within the 100 year floodplain. The
expanded floodplain on the property will result in areas of lots and
infrastructure not currently within the floodplain being included within the
proposed 100 year floodplain.
The schedule for FEMA accepting the expanded floodplain is unknown.
FEMA staff has been non-committal as to a timeline. There is
anticipation FEMA could finalize the new floodplain maps for the
property/local area sometime in 2022.
All indications are the floodplain on the site will expand. However, the
City is preempted by State law to factor in the upcoming BFE change
by FEMA. In the 2021 legislative session, the State adopted language
resulting in changes to Florida Statutes Chapter 55. The subject
language added to Florida Statutes is as follows:
City of Deltona Page 4 Printed on 2/17/2022
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting February 21, 2022
FS 55.73(5)
A municipality, county, or special district may not use preliminary maps
issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency for any law,
ordinance, rule, or other measure that has the effect of imposing land
use changes or permits.
The above citation indicates clearly the City cannot use the anticipated
floodplain change as part of the review or decision making regarding
this project. Therefore, while the map BFE may change, the City has to
review and determine the appropriateness of the project based on the
existing BFE of 27 feet above sea level.
Accepting the existing BFE for design and permitting of the overall
development is beneficial to the developer, it can be reasonably
assumed that the new proposed, higher BFE will be approved and
implemented before single family residences begin construction. The
higher BFE will require the new lot owner to incur the additional costs
and expenses necessary to comply with the new BFE. These would
include an elevated finished floor elevation as well as providing
compensating storage for any fill placed within the flood zone.
Something very difficult to achieve on a small single family residential
lot, but much more manageable if performed in conjunction with the
engineering, design and permitting of the overall development. With the
potential impacts of floodplain impacts (compensating storage, flood
insurance requirements) potentially being the responsibility of individual
landowners, there should be some type of disclosure to future
landowners. A logical vehicle to facilitate such disclosure would by the
homeowner association documents. Therefore, Staff suggests any
disclosure about the floodplain be prominently included within the
homeowner association documents.
The Acting City Manager has the authority to make corrections of
scrivener’s errors and the like.

an electrical check. For more information see attached the
rehabilitation proposal from UDH Contractors. The total estimate for the
work is for $33,675.00. The estimate exceeds the $25,000 spending
limit which requires the project being advanced to the Commission for
review and approval.
However, as is common with construction jobs, there can be change
orders resulting in greater costs. An example is roof deck damage.
There is a probability there could be more deck damage than the
estimate allowance of six sheets of plywood decking. Therefore, staff is
requesting the City Commission authorize no more than $40,000.00 be
spent on this rehabilitation project. The approval of the $40,000.00
represents the original estimated price of $33,675.00 and includes a
contingency for any unforeseen issues that may be discovered during
rehabilitation. However, expenditure of the
contingency amount will need to be clearly justified and City approval
does not constitute an automatic allowance to be spent on the project.
Staff will continue to manage the project, including costs.
Staff has determined the household size (number of people residing in
the house) - one elderly resident - is consistent with what has been
represented to the City. In addition, based on all income, the household
qualifies a “very low” income household. The income thresholds are
predicated on area median income data derived from the Deltona,
Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach Municipal Statistical Area (MSA). The
extensive review of the application has revealed the request qualifies
for assistance and is consistent with all State grant requirements.
Finally, the State money invested in these properties will be subject to a
non-interest bearing lien with a 15 year life. If the property is sold or
refinanced within the 15 year timeframe, the City will need to be repaid
the money invested in the house. However, if the present owner stays in
the house beyond the 15 year timeframe, the lien is forgiven.
Housing programs administered by the City have several benefits. The
first benefit is to help needy households attain or maintain home
ownership. Homeownership is a prime method for households to build
wealth. Typically, the most valuable household asset is a dwelling unit.
Housing programs, especially Owner Occupied Rehabilitation, helps

maintain and improve the condition of the City housing stock. Better
housing stock is going to protect property values not only for the houses
associated with assistance but with other housing in the vicinity. Better
housing stock equates to a greater overall City tax base benefit.

Strategic Goal: Create high-quality housing opportunities.
Background: The City is an entitlement community and receives funds from the State
Florida Housing Finance Corporation under the Strategic Housing
Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program. The City operates a State
approved program known as owner occupied rehabilitation (OOR).
As is can be expected, the escalating costs of construction, including
labor and materials, has increased the price of performing owner
occupied rehabilitation projects.
The property in question requires substantial repair. This scope of work
for this property includes but is not limited to a new roof, a new HVAC
system, window replacement, an electrical check, and smoke detector
installation. The estimated proposal for this property is $37,000.00. A

G. Contract - Request for approval to expend no more than $40,000.00 in State of
Florida Finance Corporation (SHIP) funds for Owner Occupied Repair project
Located at 106 Highland Dr. - Ron A. Paradise, Community Services (386)
878-8610.
Strategic Goal: Create high-quality housing opportunities.
Background: The City is an entitlement community and receives funding from the
Florida Housing Finance Corporation under the Strategic Housing
Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) program. The City operates a State
approved program known as owner occupied rehabilitation (OOR). As
the title implies, the OOR program rehabilitates the homes of qualifying
residents within the City.
As is can be expected, the escalating costs of construction, including
labor and materials, has increased the price of performing owner
occupied rehabilitation projects. The property referenced above is
slated for the following repairs:
· Waterproofing a seal between the roof at the rear of the house
and the patio area;
· Replacing the two existing garage entry doors (code, health and
safety);
· Check/upgrade of electrical and smoke detection systems
throughout the entire house;
City of Deltona Page 13 Printed on 2/17/2022
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting February 21, 2022
· Replace several windows throughout the house;
· Replace cabinets and countertops in kitchen (cabinets and
countertops have deteriorated beyond use); and
· Replacement of flooring in all three bedrooms.
However, as is common with construction jobs, there can be change
orders resulting in greater costs. An example is roof damage. There is
a probability there could be more damage than the estimate indicated.
Therefore, staff is requesting the City Commission authorize no more
than $40,000.00 be spent on this rehabilitation project. The approval of
the $40,000.00 represents the original estimated price of $27,250.00
and includes a contingency for any unforeseen issues that may be
discovered during rehabilitation. (A scope of work from the contractor
Parthy is attached.) However, expenditure of the contingency amount
will need to be clearly justified and City approval does not constitute an
automatic allowance to be spent on the project. Staff will continue to
manage the project, including costs.
