Orange Camp Commercial South development
Summary
The city annexed about 25 acres near the I-4 interchange and set about 22 acres of it to Highway Commercial land use and C-2 General Commercial zoning. It's a gateway to the city, so expect highway-style commercial development and the traffic that comes with it.

Technical Review Committee - Oct 1, 2026
A roughly 20-acre commercial project including a gas station and convenience store is moving forward on Orange Camp Road. The plat now heads to the Planning Board, but only after the developer resolves stormwater and tree-mitigation comments from city staff.
Technical Review Committee - Sep 17, 2026
Two related applications would lay out a 20-acre commercial subdivision and build a convenience store with gas pumps on Orange Camp Road near I-4. The plat was continued from August pending resolution of staff engineering comments.
Technical Review Committee - Aug 20, 2026
Several related projects — a big commercial subdivision plat, a Wawa, a second fuel station, and a 20-acre plat — are all moving through review along Orange Camp Road near I-4. Together they'll reshape that corridor with new retail, gas stations, and road connections into Lake Helen.

Planning Board - Apr 15, 2026
A developer is seeking to bring about 25 acres of currently agricultural land south of Orange Camp Road into the city and set it up for commercial development near the I-4 interchange. It's part of the emerging gateway corridor and could shape what travelers and residents see at that entrance to DeLand.
