The Planning and Zoning Meeting held by the City of Deltona on September 17, 2025, focused on significant updates to the city's land development code, particularly concerning communication antennas and towers. The primary agenda item was the introduction of Ordinance Number 33-2025, which aims to modernize Chapter 82 of the code, originally adopted in 1997.

City staff presented the ordinance, highlighting that the existing regulations were outdated and still referenced a now-defunct tower map and the old Deltona Lakes community development plan. The proposed changes intend to align the regulations with the current zoning framework outlined in Chapter 110.

Key updates in the ordinance include the following:

1. Tower locations will now be determined by the permitted use table in Chapter 110, eliminating the need for a separate tower map.
2. All references to the outdated tower map and Deltona Lakes plans will be removed, replaced with the current land development code.
3. New design standards for osprey nesting platforms have been introduced to clarify installation requirements.

Additional amendments include updates to application requirements and setback regulations, ensuring they align with current standards. The staff emphasized that these changes are consistent with the city's comprehensive plan and will enhance clarity for both developers and city administrators.

The Planning and Zoning Board recommended that the ordinance be found consistent with the comprehensive plan and approved for submission to the city commission. If approved, the ordinance will be presented for a first reading on November 3, 2025. This update marks a significant step in streamlining the regulatory framework for communication infrastructure in Deltona.
