5 issues in zoning with medium priority
Repeal of the Downtown Fair Share Agreement
A first reading was scheduled to repeal the Downtown Fair Share Agreement, which historically governed how downtown development contributed to infrastructure costs. Repeal could change obligations for downtown projects.
Jacobs Corner mixed-use planned development
A 4.63-acre mixed-use planned development on East Plymouth Avenue, continued to this meeting at the applicant's request.
Taylor Ridge corner-lot standards cleanup
A technical fix so one lot in the Taylor Ridge subdivision isn't doomed by a drafting oversight: corner lots on curves will now follow standard minimum widths, and Lot 31 can be built as planned. Minor, but it shows how PD language quirks can derail home construction.
Rezoning at 1500 S. Adelle Avenue (Ordinance 2026-17)
Willie Robinson is asking the city to rezone about two acres on South Adelle Avenue from a townhome planned development to general multifamily zoning, a key step for the proposed Plexes at Adelle project.
Land Development Regulations workshop
The board was set to dig into the city's LDRs — the rulebook for what can be built where in DeLand. Changes here eventually shape everything from fence rules to subdivision standards.
