3. Creation of Zones

Historic Preservation Board · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

The City of DeLand's Historic Preservation Board is reviewing new "public civil airport height zones." These zones are designed to manage building heights around airports by creating specific areas like primary, horizontal, conical, approach, and transitional zones. The primary zone, for example, is an area centered on a runway extending 200 feet beyond each end. This review is part of a larger draft of DeLand Land Development Regulations focused on community design standards and lighting. The proposed regulations aim to guide development for a cohesive, walkable, and context-sensitive urban pattern, respecting historic resources. While no specific construction projects are detailed, the adoption of these zoning regulations could influence future development and require compliance from property owners and developers. Businesses involved in land development, engineering, architecture, and construction may find it beneficial to monitor this review process as it could impact future building designs and site planning in DeLand.
