4. ACTION ITEMS:

Public Hearing - Ordinance No. 29-2025, Providing for imposition of a

Temporary Moratorium on issuance of Development Orders and Permits and

on the processing of Development Applications, City Code Text Amendments,

Rezonings, Comprehensive Plan Text and Land Use Plan Amendments for

development of residential dwelling units within the City; Exemption specified

development; Providing for waivers; Providing for vested rights; Providing for

appeals; Providing for exhaustion of administrative remedies; Providing for a

term not to exceed nine (9) months unless extended by the City Commission as

provided by Law, at second reading.

The proposed Ordinance No. 29-2025 establishes a temporary

moratorium, not to exceed nine months, on the acceptance and

issuance of development approvals for new residential dwelling units

citywide. The moratorium is intended to give City staff time to analyze

recent growth impacts, assess public infrastructure capacity, evaluate

concurrency and impact fees, and recommend necessary updates to

the Comprehensive Plan and Capital Improvements Element. The

ordinance includes targeted exemptions for commercial, industrial,

school, and vested projects to reduce legal exposure. At its June 23,

2025 meeting, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval

with three conditions - only the exemption of in-fill single family

Background:

development was accepted by the Commission at first reading. The

ordinance is scheduled for Second Reading on June 30, 2025.

Additionally, Senate Bill 180, if signed by the Governor, could invalidate

the moratorium and expose the City to litigation and attorney’s fees.

Request for approval of Resolution No. 2025-71 Designating the Planning and

Development Service Director as the Administrative Official Responsible for the

Administrative Approval of Plats and Replats.

The Florida Legislature enacted Senate Bill 784 (2025), amending

Section 177.071, Florida Statutes, to require that certain plats and

replats be administratively approved by a designated official or

employee of the local government. The City’s Planning and

Development Services Director, who is otherwise designated by the

City Code to provide administrative approvals, shall be the

administrative official responsible for receiving, reviewing, and

administratively approving, approving with conditions, or denying plats

and replats submitted within the City of Deltona.

DECORUM POLICY: The City of Deltona has a significant interest in conducting orderly and efficient

public meetings, which includes preventing disruption, promoting civility, and preserving decorum. To

that end, behavior which disrupts or impedes the efficient and orderly conduct of any public meeting, as

determined by the Mayor, or presiding officer, or a majority of the City Commission, is not permitted.

The Mayor, or presiding officer, or a majority of the City Commission, may interrupt, warn, or terminate

a speaker’s statement when that statement is too lengthy, personally directed, abusive, obscene,

irrelevant, or otherwise reasonably perceived to be a disruption to the fair and orderly progress of the

discussion at hand. The Mayor, or presiding officer, or a majority of the City Commission, may also

interrupt any part of the meeting to warn any individual that they are being disruptive or otherwise

impeding the efficient and orderly conduct of the meeting. The Mayor, or presiding officer, or a majority

of the City Commission, may require any individual to leave a public meeting for its duration if that

individual is unable to observe this Policy after being warned. Should an individual be required to leave a

meeting for violating this Policy, that person shall be escorted from Commission Chambers by a

Volusia Sheriff’s Deputy.

PUBLIC COMMENTS: Time permitted, public comments shall be limited to items on the agenda and

shall not exceed two minutes. Please be courteous and respectful of the views of others. Personal

attacks on Commission members, City staff or members of the public are not allowed, and will be ruled

out of order by the Mayor.
