City of Deltona Page 7 Printed on 10/17/2024
City Commission Agenda October 21, 2024
to the Land Development Code to clarify provisions in the Live Local Act, which
amended Fla. Stat. 166.04151.
Background: During the 2023 Legislative Session, the Florida Legislature adopted,
and Governor DeSantis signed into law, Chapter 2023-17, known as
the Live Local Act, amending Fla. Stat. 166.04151. The amendments to
the Live Local Act (the Act) require the City to define terms and update
regulations for multi-family development.
The Live Local preempts local governments and the public from
applying the City comprehensive plan and zoning code when a
developer proposes to erect “affordable housing,” as defined in the Act.
However, many terms in the Act are undefined and confusing.
Further, the Act permits the City to apply its multi-family regulations to
affordable housing developments, except for height, density and zoning.
As more fully described in the Resolution, Staff proposed the following
amendments to the Land Development Code:
1. Define the terms used in the Act, including “designates”;
“zoned”; “Mixed Use Residential”; and “Mixed Use Zoning” in the
Land Development Code.
2. Update Land Development Code Section 110-310 and 110-311
adding development standards and requirements to ensure
multi-family developments are compatible and consistent with
specific future land use designations.
