The City of DeLand is reviewing proposed updates to its land development regulations concerning surface water management systems. These changes aim to set new standards for stormwater discharge, requiring that peak discharge from developed or altered sites does not exceed predevelopment levels for a 100-year storm. The regulations will also incorporate floodplain management, ensuring no net reduction in flood storage and requiring compensatory storage for development within impacted areas, while prohibiting development in floodways. Additionally, the ordinance will mandate stormwater retention and/or detention based on the City Engineer's assessment and include low impact development standards for new construction. This review process is in its early stages, allowing for potential input before finalization. The project will likely involve site clearing, grading, underground utility work for drainage, and potentially paving, followed by landscaping. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, concrete, plumbing, and landscaping, as well as suppliers of related materials, may find opportunities. Engaging early in this review process could provide an advantage before specific site plans, bids, and permits are issued.
