Background:

This is a request for the City Commission to approve the Master Fee  
Schedule for Fiscal Year 2025 - 2026.  
Background:  
Resolution No. 2025-140 includes Exhibit "A", which lists the existing  
fees and all updates. Fees included in Exhibit "A" are part of the  
adopted budget. City fees are actual pass-through costs for various  
City services, programs, development applications, permits, etc.  
City staff conducted research regarding various fees charged for  
similar services by other municipalities including but not limited to  
building permits and inspections, fire permits and inspections,  
customer service and utility services, event permits, parks and  
recreations services, the center, planning, code enforcement, animal  
control, and development review services; and  
The City uses a "Master Fee" Schedule to establish fees for a variety of  
services. With the adoption of the final budget by Resolution No.  
2025-134, the Master Fee Schedule now requires updating to ensure  
all fees are accurately capturing the cost to provide any specific service  
provided.  
C.  
The American Flood Coalition’s (AFC) mission is driving  
Background:  
transformational adaptation to protect communities from higher seas,  
stronger storms, and more frequent flooding. The AFC empowers a  
diverse coalition of leaders advancing flood solutions at the local, state,  
and federal levels by driving meaningful, lasting, and transformational  
change. They work with cities, towns, and counties; elected officials;  
and military, business, and civic leaders to build and advance solutions  
that help keep their communities safe.  
8. ORDINANCES AND PUBLIC HEARINGS:  
A.  
The applicant is requesting to rezone approximately 7.93 acres at 930  
Howland Boulevard from Retail Commercial (C-1) to Mixed-Use  
Planned Unit Development (MPUD) to allow a two phase development  
consisting of a self storage facility with office space on Lot 1 and future  
commercial development on Lot 2. The MPUD allows a range of  
commercial uses while prohibiting incompatible uses such as discount  
retail, large format stores, car washes, and certain automotive uses.  
The project incorporates enhanced landscaping, buffers, pedestrian  
connections, and stormwater management, and a Traffic Impact  
Analysis confirms that the development will maintain acceptable levels  
of service on Howland Boulevard. The proposal is consistent with the  
City’s Comprehensive Plan goals for mixed use development along  
major corridors, supports economic growth, and meets all applicable  
Land Development Code standards. Staff recommends the City  
Commission conduct a public hearing on Ordinance No. 32-2025,  
noting that the Planning and Zoning Board voted 4-3 to deny the  
request due to neighborhood compatibility and traffic concerns.  
Background:  
B.  
On April 7, 2025, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No.  
05-2025, increasing the minimum lot size for Planned Unit  
Background:  
Developments (PUDs) from one acre to five acres. Staff is now  
recommending returning to the original one acre minimum to provide  
greater flexibility for site design, particularly on smaller parcels and for  
infill or redevelopment opportunities. This change allows for a wider  
range of development options while ensuring all projects continue to  
follow the PUD process and meet City standards for quality and design.  
The amendment clarifies the allowed uses within PUD districts by  
updating the Permitted Use Table. At first reading, the Commission  
voted 4-2 in favor of these amendments. Staff recommends approval of  
Ordinance No. 34-2025 at second and final reading.  
9. ACTION ITEMS:  
A.  
On September 15, 2025, Commissioner Howington appointed Larry  
French to the Planning and Zoning Board which left an opening for an  
alternate member with a term to expire March 15, 2028.  
Background:  
The City has received applications from the following individuals:  
Elizabeth Chavez, Kimberly Eddins, Brandon Hart, Robert Hasson and  
Christian O’Brien.  
B.  
At the Commission Workshop held on Monday, August 11, 2025, the  
Commission reviewed the Deltona City Commission Operating

Background:
