Under the approved schedule, the city manager’s evaluation period is set to begin between May 10 and June 10 (per the manager’s contract). The city attorney’s evaluation timeline will follow the contract provisions applicable to that office. Commissioners will complete evaluation questionnaires and return them to the clerk’s office; the results will be tabulated, provided to the charter officers and made part of the public record.

A resident speaker asked whether the evaluations would be published; staff confirmed the compiled results and related materials become public records and would be available consistent with public-record law. City staff said the evaluation templates and procedures were prepared in consultation with regional practices and are intended to be consistent with industry best practices.

The commission directed staff to move forward with the process; the vote was unanimous.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Commission Meeting - April 21, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved an ICMA-aligned evaluation process for the city manager and city attorney.

The resolution establishes a seven-member review committee—each commissioner will appoint one member—and calls for the city manager to contract with a consultant to assist the committee in systematically reviewing and recommending changes to the city’s code of ordinances.

Commissioners who supported the resolution said a temporary, focused committee would help update outdated ordinances, increase transparency and reduce recurring problems (for example, the commission earlier discussed a noise ordinance update). Vice Mayor Herriot and others said hiring a consultant is necessary because city staff and the city attorney’s office are at capacity and an outside firm can provide dedicated research and draft language.

Commissioners who opposed creation of the committee warned it could slow the pace of ordinance work, duplicate staff duties and add cost. The motion that passed specified that the committee would automatically dissolve 12 months after October 1, 2025 unless the commission adopts a resolution to extend it. Staff said there is currently no specific budget allocation for the consultant but that funding could be identified during midyear or next fiscal year budgeting and the manager will return with a budget amendment as needed.

The resolution directs the manager to advertise appointments consistent with the code, to hire a consultant to guide the review, and to return draft ordinance changes to the commission for consideration. The vote was 4 in favor, 3 opposed.","The commission voted 4-3 to activate an Ordinance Review Committee (Resolution 2025-51) to systematically review the city code; the committee will have seven members (one appointed by each commissioner), a consultant will be retained, and the body will sunset 12 months after October 1, 2025 unless extended.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6264903,"Commission grants rehearing for Vineland Reserve Phase 1 final plat, schedules May 5 hearing",623,5827000,6450000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3095768-12545d4006c626c298a3b9a038986c5f&start=5827&end=6450","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3095768-12545d4006c626c298a3b9a038986c5f/thumbnail_5827000.jpg","/articles/6264903/Deltona/Volusia-County/Florida/Commission-grants-rehearing-for-Vineland-Reserve-Phase-1-final-plat-schedules-May-5-hearing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6264903-73555204ed72f656610a98d1fa1afc14/orig.mp4?Expires=1771036986&Signature=FPE42S-z4Ho5p-ZeRBtl4QUVOybePdzpbwnEJe2TI-eIt9MtdRgKubCLY3R7rkPIv681wjq24zCIrrSdRTt2kYn7J8WeAAsFXmkmEmrAJpttVLZ7iSb50b59dmuvMTlXUslVh0mg0D9R-9hGOHJhXAii-~QyvwOWRECXzBluoP2hkE-66lawp1NB93cW~8rIqUSeeMoY3QeLyYwAJqB3DavEYXQq29LH-506hBmZBdVkJvT~ht6xGLFpVIyTTPArwiK2eeyBsWFO~BReL0gPzRuGUOpJjVjjFgdBB0rIJP0L2geSNfyjR5XRRweJDghRjQD4pcyIY4znEDKFPWXCGA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Deltona City Commission voted 4-3 to grant a rehearing request for Resolution 2025-24, which accepted the final plat for Vineland Reserve Phase 1.

The matter came to the commission as a procedural rehearing request. Staff explained the item was limited to the rehearing request and would not revisit the plat’s substantive merits at this stage. Public speakers raised concerns about construction in later phases and asked the commission to ensure unresolved engineering and site issues were addressed before vertical construction in phase 1 moves forward. The applicant’s representative said revised engineering plans and a Pegasus memo had been submitted to the city and that the applicant would appear if a rehearing were granted.

An initial motion by Commissioner Lully to deny the rehearing was seconded by Commissioner Colwell; that motion failed on a 3-4 vote. Vice Mayor Herriot then moved to grant a rehearing and Commissioner Howington seconded; that motion passed 4-3. City staff confirmed that public notice and code-required posting for the May 5 rehearing will follow city code procedures.","After debate and public comment, the commission voted to grant a rehearing on the final plat for Vineland Reserve Phase 1; rehearing set for May 5, 2025.

The move clears the way for a development the applicant says will include about 52% nonresidential uses on about 19 acres (flex space, offices, retail and restaurants) and a multifamily residential parcel of roughly 17.2 acres. The developer told the commission the MPUD would allow up to 343 multifamily units and that 320 units are presently planned.

City staff told the commission the rezoning aligns with the city’s activity center overlay and comprehensive plan requirement that development there proceed as a planned unit development. Jordan Smith, the city’s director of planning, said the proposal contains unified architectural standards, prohibits outdoor storage, directs truck traffic away from adjacent residential neighborhoods and commits the developer to proportionate fair-share payments for traffic mitigation required before certificates of occupancy.

The applicant, who said he has worked for years assembling parcels in the larger activity-center area, told commissioners he will dedicate a 30-foot strip along the site’s northern boundary for the future extension of Rhode Island Avenue and agreed to additional right-of-way along North Normandy Boulevard to support county road realignment plans. Attorney Michael Woods and developer Scott Banta told the commission they had revised the master plan to reduce lots from six to five, relabel Lot 3 as “gas or flex” (not committing to a gas station), and position buildings and truck wells to limit residential impacts.

During questioning, commissioners pressed staff and the applicant on: the exact alignment and timeline for the Rhode Island Avenue extension; how truck movements and curb cuts would be controlled to avoid truck traffic on residential Normandy; architectural standards and storefront treatments along Normandy and Rhode Island; required buffers between the apartment buildings and existing single-family homes on Firwood; and how the county review of the traffic impact analysis (TIA) will affect the project.

Smith said the TIA has been submitted and is under review by Volusia County and the city’s traffic consultant; any mitigation measures identified by reviewing agencies would be required under the development agreement and before occupancy. The applicant told the commission the nearest multifamily building façade would be about 160 feet from the existing homes on Firwood, that interior parking and landscaping were planned as buffers, and that lighting would be low-impact and directed away from nearby residences.

Several members of the public and a planning expert testified in favor of or in support of the development’s multifamily component, saying apartments are needed to support local employment. Opponents raised concerns about truck traffic using residential streets before Rhode Island is extended and questioned whether the area currently has adequate services and infrastructure for more multifamily housing.

Commissioner Santiago moved to approve the ordinance at first reading with conditions discussed on the record; Vice Mayor Herriot seconded. Vice Mayor Herriot, Mayor Avila, Commissioner Avila Vasquez, Commissioner Howington and Commissioner Lully voted yes; Commissioner Caldwell voted no. The motion carried 6 to 1.

Next steps include finalizing the traffic impact analysis mitigation, preparing a development agreement with the conditions discussed on the record, and subsequent site-plan reviews required before issuance of building permits and certificates of occupancy.","The Deltona City Commission approved Ordinance 12-20-24 to rezone 36.46 acres along North Normandy Boulevard from single-family R-1AA to a mixed-use planned unit development (MPUD). The developer will dedicate right-of-way for a Rhode Island Avenue extension and must meet traffic mitigation required by the county TIA review.","actionData","errors"]
