This project aims to reorganize, reformat, and modernize the city's code to create clearer, more flexible, and simplified regulations for development. The update includes revisions to zoning, uses, community design standards, subdivision and street design, access and parking, trees and landscaping, signage, stormwater management, and definitions. The process involves public workshops and hearings, with final adoption anticipated in late 2026. This initiative will set new standards and procedures for all future development within the city. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor the LDR update process to understand how new regulations may affect upcoming projects and to identify opportunities for work related to site preparation, construction, landscaping, and specialized trades as development plans are submitted under the new code.

D. BACKGROUND: The property located at 402 Ravenshill Way is within the Victoria
The Planning Board of the City of DeLand is reviewing a request for a variance for a property at 402 Ravenshill Way. This property is in the Victoria Park Planned Development, within the Victoria Commons community, which has single-family homes and townhomes. The owners are seeking to keep a six-foot tall, opaque white vinyl fence that was installed without a permit. The fence is located about five feet from the street-side property line, which is five feet into the required ten-foot setback area. This item is currently under review by the Planning Board. Resolving this issue involves a variance request, not new construction. Therefore, the scope of work is limited to the administrative and legal processes associated with the variance. Local businesses involved in legal services and property matters may find opportunities in assisting with the variance process. Engaging early with the property owners could be advantageous before final decisions are made.

The current request is to permit the six-foot fence, which is setback five feet from the street-side property line, to stay. This fence exceeds the two-foot height limit for fences in street-side setback areas. The Planning Board is currently reviewing this request. If approved, the project would involve work related to site boundaries and potentially fence modification or replacement. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out to the applicant or relevant city departments to understand the final decision and potential needs for fence work or other site improvements, as early engagement can provide a competitive advantage before bids and permits are finalized.

F. BACKGROUND: The subject property is ± 2.02 acres, vacant, undeveloped, and is part
A rezoning request is under review for a vacant, undeveloped property located within the Springwood Town Homes Planned Development (PD). The subject parcel is approximately 2.02 acres, with a future land use of High Density Residential. The overall PD, approved in 2006, originally included a portion for multi-family development and another for single-family homes. Due to a violation of the PD's unified ownership provision, the applicant is requesting to rezone the single-family portion to R-16 zoning. If approved, the applicant plans to submit for site plan review to build a multi-family development with 4-unit buildings. This project is currently under review by the Planning Board and City Commission. The scope of work will likely involve site clearing and grading, stormwater system design and construction incorporating Low Impact Development principles, underground utility work, and vertical construction for multi-family buildings. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, civil engineering, utility work, concrete, framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, painting, flooring, and landscaping could find opportunities. Reaching out early, before site plans and permits are finalized, offers the best chance to compete for this upcoming work.

G. STAFF SUMMARY: The applicant is requesting a variance to allow an existing
The City of DeLand Planning Board is reviewing a request for a variance concerning a fence at a single-family residence. The fence, installed in 2005, is unpermitted and exceeds the maximum height allowed in the street-side setback area. The current property owner acquired the home in 2025 without knowledge of the unpermitted fence. The Planning Board will decide to grant, grant with conditions, or deny the variance request. This item is currently under review. If approved, the variance would allow the existing fence to remain, resolving a code enforcement case without requiring removal or relocation. This process involves a review of property surveys, aerial images, and surrounding properties. While this specific item does not involve new construction, it relates to property regulations and code compliance. Businesses involved in property surveying, legal services related to variances, and potentially fencing contractors who might be consulted for future compliant installations could find this information relevant. Early engagement with the process can provide insight into regulatory requirements for property improvements.

A rezoning request is under review to change property from Spring Town Homes PD (Planned Development) to R-16 (Multiple-Family Dwelling). The property is located near the intersection of S SR 15A and S Adelle Ave in DeLand. The proposed change could allow for up to thirty-two multi-family units on approximately 2.17 acres. The Planning Board is considering this request and will forward a recommendation to the City Commission. If approved, this rezoning would allow for the development of a multi-family housing project. This could involve site preparation, utility work, building construction, and landscaping. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out early to understand the project scope as it moves through the review process.

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.
