Planning Commission Meeting · 2026-05-28 · agenda_item

The City of Port Orange is reviewing new development standards for the West Town Center District and the adjacent Community District. These districts are intended for mixed-use and primarily residential development, respectively, with specific design guidelines for urban scale and pedestrian-friendly environments. The review includes regulations for residential density, parking, signage, building design, street layout, landscaping, water features, street furniture, lighting, sidewalks, and commercial development. The Community District will allow various residential types, including townhomes, single-family, and duplex units, alongside other permitted uses. This review is currently under consideration by the Planning Commission. The project will involve site preparation, grading, underground utility work, road and sidewalk construction, building construction for mixed-use and residential structures, and extensive landscaping. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early in the process to understand the detailed requirements and potential opportunities as plans develop.
