1. Relationship to Surrounding Development

Historic Preservation Board · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

The DeLand Historic Preservation Board is reviewing draft community design standards that would affect new construction and redevelopment within 300 feet of historic buildings. These standards aim to ensure new projects are compatible with existing neighborhood character through architectural styles, materials, and design details. They also address visual and physical transitions between old and new structures using elements like landscaping and masonry walls. The review process is in its early stages, meaning plans are still being developed. This review could lead to future projects requiring site preparation, grading, construction of new buildings, and landscaping. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in construction, design, and landscaping may find opportunities as these standards are finalized and projects move forward. Early engagement could provide an advantage before specific site plans and permits are issued.
