BACKGROUND:
Background
The applicant has submitted a request to amend the Halifax Crossing-Mixed Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD) to update the Master Development Plan (MDP) and reduce minimum lot size requirements for commercial parcels. The amendment increased commercial land area to 58.5 acres and allows up to 850 multi-family units, including 300 age restricted units, while reducing residential density and shifting development emphasis to the eastern portion of the site. The request aligns with the City’s Comprehensive plan by supporting compact, mixed-use development within the Deltona Activity Center, a designated area for economic growth and infrastructure investment. At first reading on June 16, 2025, the Commission approved the rezoning 4-3 with three conditions:
1) Requiring a 1-acre minimum commercial lot size;
2) Limiting multi-family units to 850 (including age-restricted);
3) Revising the Master Development Plan to reflect only Option B.
Transportation impacts will continue to be coordinated with Volusia County, and a new share contribution will be required if trip thresholds are exceeded. Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 14-2025, as the amendment is consistent with adopted land use policies and supports the City’s long-term development vision.
