DeLand commission holds first reading of ordinance on tiny homes

The City of DeLand commission held a first reading of an ordinance to amend the city's Land Development Regulations, citing changes to sections 33-17, 33-19.15 and 33-12 that would address tiny homes.

The item was introduced as New Business Item No. 1 and identified in the meeting transcript as a first reading of an ordinance amending the listed land development regulation sections regarding tiny homes. The transcript does not include details of the proposed text changes, who moved or seconded the item, or a recorded vote on the ordinance.

No staff presenter or council member was named in the provided transcript excerpt as the author or primary speaker on the ordinance; the record shows the item was opened for first reading but does not show whether the commission took formal action to advance the ordinance or schedule subsequent hearings. The transcript also does not state a date for any follow-up meeting or second reading.

Because the transcript excerpts supplied do not include the ordinance text or supporting materials, the specific regulatory changes proposed (for example, definitions, siting standards or permitted uses) are not specified in the record provided.

The commission may consider additional readings or public hearings before any final adoption; the transcript does not record next steps or a vote on final disposition.
