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. OPTIONS: 1. Approve the Island Walk North RPUD rezoning request from R-1 to RPUD with the proposed changes to the Development Agreement. Advantages: a. The approval of this project will result in the entitlement of a 52-unit residential development intended to be fully serviced by utilities and other infrastructure.

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 2390 Moonstone Ave. - Ron A. Paradise, Director Community Services (386) 878-8610 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 City of Deltona Page 9 Printed on 2/17/2022 City Commission Regular Commission Meeting February 21, 2022 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 is in need of substantial repair to the roof including the gables, a new HVAC system, window replacement, structural work, and 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 City of Deltona Page 10 Printed on 2/17/2022 City Commission Regular Commission Meeting February 21, 2022 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. The Acting City Manager has the authority to make corrections of scrivener’s errors and the like. OPTIONS: Approve the 2390 Moonstone Ave. rehabilitation project Advantages 1) Will help an elderly resident age in place; 2) Maintains decent housing for the resident; 3) Protects the immediate neighborhood from blight; and 4) Improves the City tax base. Disadvantages 1) None. Do not approve the 2390 Moonstone Ave. rehabilitation project 1) As the dwelling deteriorates may result in premature displacement of an elderly resident; 2) Could result in neighborhood blight; and 3) The City tax base could be reduced. Advantages 1) None. Attachments: Moonstone Ave (Stafford) F. Contract - Request for approval to expend no more than $40,000.00 in State of Florida Finance Corporation (SHIP) funds for Occupied Repair project located at 1165 Cambridge Street. - Ron A. Paradise, Director Community Services (386) 878-8610. 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 City of Deltona Page 11 Printed on 2/17/2022 City Commission Regular Commission Meeting February 21, 2022 copy of the scope is attached. The estimate by Parthy contractors 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 $37,000.00 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 person - is consistent with what has been represented to the City. In addition, based on all income, the household qualifies a “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. In, addition, all of the applicant are elderly residents. The Acting City Manager has the authority to make corrections of scrivener’s errors and the like.

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.
