12. Will the proposed land use change impact schools? If a residential use is proposed

City Commission Regular Meeting · 2026-06-15 · agenda_item

This item concerns a potential land use change that may impact local schools. If a future residential development is proposed, the applicant must obtain a Finding of Adequate Capacity letter from the Volusia County School Board. This letter confirms that school capacity is available for the planned residential use. The applicant will then need to reserve this capacity and submit an approval letter from the school board during the plat or site plan review phase. This process is currently under review. The work generated by such a project could include site preparation, utility installation, and construction, followed by final landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should engage early to understand the project's scope and potential timelines, as opportunities may arise before formal bids and permits are issued.
