Commission approves annexation of 2920 South Peninsula Drive into Daytona Beach Shores
Summary
The City Commission unanimously adopted Ordinance 2025-08 to annex a single-family property at 2920 South Peninsula Drive; staff will return to assign future land‑use and zoning designations in September and October.
The Daytona Beach Shores City Commission voted 5-0 Aug. 5 to adopt Ordinance 2025-08, annexing the single-family property at 2920 South Peninsula Drive into the city. The owners, Andrew and Bonnie Melville, applied for voluntary annexation under state statute, and staff recommended approval at second reading.
Gwen Ersteyn, city planner, told the commission this was the second reading and that the property would remain a single-family residence. Ersteyn said the parcel (tax parcel identification number 532709000160) lies on South Peninsula Drive between River Pointe Drive access points and is roughly 1,600 feet "as the crow flies" from the commission chambers. She said staff found that the requirements of Florida Statutes section 171.044 for voluntary annexation had been met.
Mayor Conovis called for the vote after no public comment or additional discussion. The ordinance passed on a roll-call vote; the clerk recorded five affirmative votes.
Under the schedule laid out by staff, the property will return to the commission on Sept. 8 and Oct. 7 for two separate ordinances to (1) add the parcel to the city’s future land-use map and (2) assign a Daytona Beach Shores zoning classification so the city code can be applied.
No amendments or conditions were adopted as part of the second-reading ordinance. City staff indicated the applicants told them they intend to live at the property.
The adoption completes the legislative annexation step under the cited state statute; subsequent administrative steps on land-use and zoning will follow on the dates staff specified.
