from the rollback rate of 6.7519 mills. Staff proposes the Commission adopt the
proposed millage rate of 7.35 mills for FY 23/24. The adopted rate will be communicated
to the Property Appraiser and used in the notice of proposed taxes, the TRIM notice,
issued to Deltona property owners in late August. If the Commission votes to chose a

Applicant's Attorney Kim Booker, Booker and Associates, P.A., stated she is here to
answer any questions and there are some disagreements as to why there is a
Development Agreement (DA). Impact fee credits will be close to $8 million from this
project which will go toward road improvements. The PFS was established in the DA of
$1.9 million which pertained to the improvements. There was a letter presented
December 2019 where the City acknowledged the satisfaction of the PFS payment.
There is acknowledgement of the vested rights of the traffic, the TRIPS. Development
Agreements establish the rights as of that point in time and this agreement contained
language regarding the poor economic times and the completion date shall be

Background: The Nuisance Abatement Assessment was established in 2018 for the

costs associated with the abatement of the property for clean -up that is
a nuisance and a threat to public health, safety and welfare.
Section 54 of the Code of Ordinances requires that the City
Commission adopt an Annual Rate Resolution during its budget

C. Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 04-2023, Request to amend the Deltona Village

Development Plan increasing the number of multi-family unit allocation for the
BPUD from 414 units to 652 units; amendment to the Development Agreement
approved by Ordinance No. 21-2009; and rezone an additional 0.61-acres of

Conditional Use options including an allocation of up to 414 multi-family
units. The intensity of the Deltona Village BPUD was capped at
900,000 square feet of retail. The 900,000 square-foot cap was also
extended to a 38-acre parcel (ICC BPUD site) under similar ownership

City Commission Regular Commission Meeting July 17, 2023
located north of Graves Av. and south of the I-4/SR 472 eastbound
interchange off-ramp. The square-foot cap regarding allowed uses such
as multifamily residential was reconciled through an equivalency matrix.
The equivalency matrix is a tool used to convert densities and
intensities so the overall intensity cap is not exceeded.
In 2018, the Deltona Village BPUD (Ordinance No. 10-2018) was
amended by the City to modify minimum lot width and sizes. In addition,
the 2018 amendment changed the 414-unit multi-family conditional use
entitlement to a permitted use within the BPUD.
In 2021, the City Commission approved a second amendment to the
Deltona Village BPUD to include an additional 10.3 acres of Deltona
Retail Holdings, LLC, acquired properties by rezoning into the BPUD
with no additional intensity/density entitlements.
To date, Deltona Village has developed the Epic movie theater, Race
Trac gas station, and a Burger King fast-food restaurant. Various site
plans have been approved for a Starbucks immediately west of Burger
King (SP21-0011), a 301 multi-family unit complex (currently under
construction) for Integra Myst (SP21-0004), and a 52,800 square-foot
Nutty Bavarian light manufacturing facility (SP22-0007). Currently under
review are site plans for a 2,600 square-foot Panda Express
(SP23-0005), and a
152,000 Store Space Self-Storage facility (SP23-0006).
The current and third requested amendment via Ordinance No.
04-2023, requests the following:
1) Amendment to the Overall Development Plan/Master Development
Plan to increase the number of multi-family unit allocation for the
BPUD from 414 units to 652 units;
2) Amendment to the development agreement approved by Ordinance
No. 21-2009, to update the multi-family unit cap, include the
0.61-acres, and to clarify remaining entitlements between the
landowner and the City; and
3) Rezone an additional ±26.57 acres of land to be rezoned and
included within the Deltona Village BPUD.
On March 15, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Board voted (6 to 1) to
recommend approval of Ordinance No. 04-2023 by the City
Commission.
On April 3, 2023, the City Commission voted (4 to 3) to deny Ordinance
No. 04-2023, due to concerns with the age of the originally approved
traffic study (2009) and the requested increase of multi-family unit cap
City of Deltona Page 5 Printed on 7/18/2023
City Commission Regular Commission Meeting July 17, 2023
for the project (652-unit cap). Concerns regarding School Concurrency
were also expressed.
On May 1, 2023, the applicant requested a rehearing of Ordinance No.
04-2023 via the motion filed as allowed by Section 110-1005. -
Rehearing and administrative res judicata. The City Commission
approved the applicant’s request to rehear the application and
scheduled for the next available meeting.
On May 22, 2023, the applicant requested a continuance of the
rehearing of Ordinance No. 04-2023, in light of the latest proportionate
fair share memo prepared by BCC, Engineering.
Since the April 3, 2023, City Commission Meeting, staff contracted the
City’s consulting traffic engineer, BCC Engineering. Staff requested
BCC provide an update to the trip generation impacts and traffic
equivalency matrix of the 2009 Deltona Village Traffic Impact Analysis
in comparison to the Institute of Traffic Engineer’s (ITE) Manual, 11th
and latest edition. - The attached memo finds that the project evaluated
under modern trip generation rates would have a net total impact of
24,417 average daily trips (ADTs) and 2,271 PM Peak Hour Trips as
opposed to the originally anticipated 17,808 ADTs and 1,141 PM Peak
Hour Trips at full build-out. However, based on the updated traffic
equivalency matrix within the memo, the Deltona Village BPUD with the
existing and proposed developments would remain compliant with the
originally approved 17,808 ADTs, 1,141 PM Peak Hour Trips, and
900,000 square feet of retail at this time.
As a method of addressing/accepting the new anticipated impacts per
the ITE Manual, 11th edition, for the 24,417 ADTs and 2,271 PM Peak
Hour Trips, staff recommends a new proportionate fair share
agreement be considered for the difference in transportation impacts,
in light of this new data.
On June 19, 2023, the City Commission reheard Ordinance No.
04-2023. During discussion, the City Commission modified the
ordinance to remove approximately 25.96 acres of land (Parcel ID
numbers 8106-04-00-0542 & 8106-04-00-0691) from the rezone
request, to be tabled for consideration at a later date. Ultimately, the
City Commission approved the modified Ordinance No. 04-2023 at
rehearing of the first hearing. The modified ordinance and legal
description are attached.
For more information please refer to the attached staff report and

the City Commission at a workshop for discussion and consideration .
Staff received direction to suggest revisions to the Chickens
provisions, considering the economic climate and recent egg
shortages. Staff worked closely with the Deltona Community Gardens
representatives to propose the draft discussed. At the workshop the
City Commission provided input to staff regarding the number of
chickens that should be allowed based on property size, personal use
of the chickens, and coop permitting requirements.
The attached revisions to the Chickens Code, per City Commission
and public input, have been proposed for consideration via Ordinance
No. 08-2023.

D. Request approval of Resolution No. 2023-26, Budget Amendment and the Task
Authorization between the City of Deltona & Pegasus Engineering for
preparation of the FEMA - Hazard Mitigation Grant Program submittal for
elevation of Catalina Boulevard in the amount of $37,500.00 - Glenn Whitcomb,
Public Works/Deltona Water (386) 878-8929.

EMTs.

Grant Program and has secured a positive approval from the Local
Mitigation Selection committee. The next steps is the detailed &
technical application submittal process requiring assistance from
