BACKGROUND:
Background
The City of Deltona received an application to rezone approximately 1.76 acres of land located at 2965 Howland Boulevard from Business Planned Unit Development (BPUD) to Retail Commercial (C-1). The property proposed to be rezoned is currently designated as Commercial on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM). The C-1 rezoning request is consistent with the Commercial Land Use category.
In 2001, this parcel was rezoned from County A-3 (Transitional Agriculture) to BPUD (Business Planned Unit Development via Ordinance No. 06-2001). This rezoning effort produced a BPUD with commercial uses (shopping center and out-parcels) and a self-storage facility. The self-storage/mini warehouse use (98,000 square feet) was limited to a predefined tract (now developed as the Storaway self-storage center). The self-storage/mini warehouse use was transferred to different ownership under a separate parcel. The shopping center and out-parcels were never developed.
In addition to Parcel No. 8109-00-00-0064 (parcel in reference), Parcel No. 8109-00-00-0070 was part of Ordinance No. 06-2001. This parcel (8109-00-00-0070) was rezoned to C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) in 2003. On January 17, 2023, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 24-2022, rezoning Parcel No. 8109-00-00-0070 from C-1 to RPUD and a large portion of Parcel No. 8109-00-00-0064 from BPUD to RPUD.
As has been mentioned, the property fronting on Howland Blvd. was earmarked for retail and service commercial uses as part of the 2001 rezoning to BPUD. The BPUD entitlements have never been utilized and the land has not developed in over 20 years.
The requested C-1 zoning represents a commercial project where the intended use is a 6,000-square-foot quality restaurant. This use will serve the existing community and the Catalina Pointe RPUD (cottages, duplex type units, and townhome buildings) to be located south and east of the proposed amendment. A pedestrian trail connection will be designed as part of the Catalina Pointe Master Development Plan (MDP) to provide a pedestrian connection to the restaurant site.
For more information see the attached staff report and supporting documentation.
On April 19, 2023, the Planning and Zoning Board heard the rezoning request. The Board voted unanimously to recommend the City Commission approve the rezoning.
