The Planning and Zoning Meeting held on September 17, 2025, in Deltona, Florida, focused on key zoning issues, including a significant motion regarding an ordinance amendment and a variance application for a new business.
During the meeting, a motion was made by board member Tara Dierico and seconded by Pat Northey to recommend that the city commission deny an ordinance aimed at amending the official zoning map. This motion initially appeared to have failed, but further discussion clarified that it actually passed with a vote of 4 to 3. The board decided to correct the meeting minutes to reflect this outcome accurately.
Following the approval of the minutes, the meeting moved on to new business, where the board reviewed Resolution Number 2025-116. This resolution proposed a major variance to reduce the required street frontage for a quick service oil change facility from 150 feet to 100 feet. The facility is planned for a property located at 3150 Howland Boulevard in Deltona. The board received a report from staff member Brandon Hatch, who provided details on the variance application.
No public comments were made during the public forum, and there were no old business items to address. The meeting concluded with the board's focus on the variance application, which is expected to facilitate the establishment of the new service facility in the area.
Overall, the meeting highlighted the board's ongoing efforts to manage zoning regulations and support local business development in Deltona. Further discussions and decisions regarding the variance application will follow in upcoming meetings.
