Ordinance No. 08-2024 - Amending the Official Zoning Map to rezone
two (2) parcels totaling 43.55 acres of land located south of Fernanda
Drive and east of Pine Ridge High School currently zoned City of
Deltona Agriculture classification (A) to Single-Family Classification
(R1).
City Attorney Segal-George swore in everyone wanting to speak on the item.
Chair Berk asked if anyone on the Board had any ex-parte communication regarding the
case. All members stated they did not have any ex-parte, and Chair Berk stated she visited
the site.
Ms. Entwistle presented the Fernanda Place Phase 3 rezone to the Board. She spoke
regarding the Future Land Use compatibility, capacities, and wetlands. Ms. Entwistle
explained both Volusia County and the City are requesting a Signal Warrant Analysis to be
performed after Phase 3 is fully occupied.
Discussion occurred about zoning classifications and density.
Applicant Jesse Anderson presented the project, stating this is a rezone to R1 only, not to a
Residential Planned Unit Development (RPUD). He explained the amount of homes has
lowered from the previous proposal as this is no longer a RPUD application.
Secretary Amoroso asked how the project would benefit the City.
Mr. Anderson discussed he is working to provide larger lots to the residents of Deltona.
Applicant Tina Lee spoke regarding the community amenities and the changes within the
HOA Board. She explained the HOA now has two (2) residents on the Board, and the
residents expressed they did not want any additional amenities, at this time.
Mr. Anderson explained that the plan provided is only a concept plan not the final plan. The
applicant is looking for a rezone for the R1 zoning, so this is not a Master Development
Plan. He stated that there is only one way in and out of the new phase which meets current
code requirements.
Chair Berk opened the public forum.
Curtis Hoover, 810 Osteen Cemetery Road, expressed concerns regarding the project
affecting surrounding roads negatively. He asked if they could put fewer homes and if there
was enough infrastructure.
Ms. Lee explained Osteen Cemetery Road is only used for emergency access as there is a
stabilized access with a crash gate installed. There is no vehicular access through this
