May 13, 2026 Planning Board Agenda Packet
[402 Ravenshill Way; case V26-053] Variance request to allow a six-foot fence within the street-side setback area where a maximum of four feet is allowed. The fence was installed in 2006 without a permit. The current owners purchased the property in 2025 unaware of the unpermitted fence. The variance is requested to resolve a code enforcement case. The staff report notes that while the variance criteria are not fully met, the fence does not create visibility issues at the intersection and its removal would be aesthetically detrimental. [109 Kensington Road; case SE26-052] Special exception request to allow for vehicle sales and rentals on a ±0.6 acre site zoned C-2 (General Commercial) with a future land use of HC (Highway Commercial). The property was previously used for vehicle sales but this use ceased for over 180 days, making it a legally nonconforming use that requires special exception approval to re-establish. The site is surrounded by commercial uses and is next to another car dealership. The property does not fully meet all landscaping and buffer requirements due to being almost completely paved, but staff recommends approval. [1500 S. Adelle Avenue; case Z26-062] Request to rezone ±2.02 acres from Springwood Town Homes PD (Planned Development) to R-16 (Multiple-Family Dwelling). The property is vacant and undeveloped, part of a larger PD approved in 2006. The PD had a unified ownership provision that was violated when properties were sold. Rezoning to R-16 is proposed to address this violation. The applicant intends to construct a multi-family development with 4-unit buildings. School concurrency has been reviewed and found adequate. Staff recommends approval to forward to the City Commission. [South of Orange Camp Road, west of the I-4 Interchange; case AN24-212] Annexation of ±25.44 acres. The Planning Board recommended approval. [South of Orange Camp Road, west of the I-4 Interchange; case SMLU24-213] Land use change for ±22.4 acres from Volusia County Commercial and Volusia County Rural to City of DeLand Highway Commercial. The Planning Board recommended approval. [South of Orange Camp Road, west of the I-4 Interchange; case Z26-041] Rezone ±22.4 acres from Volusia County B-6 (Highway Interchange Commercial), BPUD (Business Planned Unit Development), and A-2 (Rural Agriculture) to City of Deland C-2 (General Commercial). The Planning Board recommended approval. This document outlines proposed revisions to a Land Development Code, focusing on updates to various articles including Subdivision, Streets, & Utilities; Access and Parking; Trees and Landscaping; Signage; Concurrency and Impact Fees; Stormwater & Environmental; and Definitions. Key changes include revised parking requirements for various uses, reduced parking stall size to 9 x 18 feet with allowance for compact parking, updated tree protection and landscaping standards, revised signage regulations to comply with federal law (Reed vs. Gilbert) with updated exempt sign sizes, changes to concurrency management and impact fee calculations, and updated stormwater management requirements for developments larger than one acre. No specific projects, addresses, or decisions are detailed in this document.
