Commission approves administrative rezoning for 12 properties east of Spruce Creek Road to match future land‑use
Summary
The planning commission approved an administrative rezoning to align 12 properties east of Spruce Creek Road (and one Devon Street parcel recently purchased by the city) with the city's comprehensive plan and surrounding zoning patterns.
The Port Orange Planning Commission on July 31 approved an administrative rezoning that changes zoning designations for 12 properties generally east of Spruce Creek Road to bring them into conformance with the city's future land‑use map.
Planner Penelope Cruz told the commission the rezoning addresses inconsistencies between current zoning and the comprehensive plan. Four properties will be rezoned to Neighborhood Preservation (primarily single‑family homes), two parcels will move to Office‑Residential Transition to match their future land use, and six city‑owned parcels will be rezoned to Government/Public Use for ponds, a lift station site and expansion of Train Depot Park.
Cruz said exhibits and tables in the staff report list each parcel, current zoning and proposed zoning. Commissioners asked about specific properties: a Devon Street parcel the city purchased will be used for a lift station, and one property adjacent to Train Depot Park will formalize park expansion plans. Staff said owners of privately owned parcels were contacted; one owner declined to include an adjacent lot in the rezoning and that parcel was left unchanged.
No public comments were offered at the hearing. The commission voted to approve the administrative rezoning; staff will proceed with final map updates and administrative processing.
(Clarifying detail: the rezoning corrects historic mismatches between zoning and the future land‑use map; exhibit maps and tables in the staff report identify all addresses and current/proposed zoning.)
