BACKGROUND:
Background
The Halifax Village Planned Unit Development (PUD), located near UF/Halifax Health in Deltona, was originally approved as a Business Planned Unit Development (BPUD) in 2014 and later rezoned to a Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development (MPUD) in 2022. In 2025, a second amendment was proposed to further the project’s flexibility and market viability. This amendment, tabled at the May 5, 2025, City Commission meeting, is presented as Option B, which is a more balanced and strategic for long-term development. Option B increases commercial acreage to 75.71 acres - supporting job creation, economic growth, and alignment with the city’s long term vision, while reducing residential units from 1,125 to 575 and removing all age restricted housing. It also introduces smaller commercial parcel sizes to improve market responsiveness and attract a broader range of tenants. While the applicant is entitled to proceed with option A, which includes 1,125 residential units and only 21.1 acres of commercial, Option B is the more sustainable and economically beneficial option for the City.
