Council advances two rezoning ordinances to bring outdated PCDs into current commercial zoning
Summary
On first reading, council approved two rezoning ordinances — 2025-12 (PCD to professional office for a 1.23-acre property) and 2025-13 (PCD to community commercial for approximately 5.38 acres) — both on unanimous 5-0 votes.
The Port Orange City Council unanimously approved on first reading two rezoning ordinances that convert older planned commercial developments (PCDs) to current commercial zoning districts.
Ordinance 2025-12 rezones approximately 1.23 acres (a former PCD at Regency, off Nova Road) from PCD to professional office. Tim Burman, community development, told the council that many PCDs established in the late 1980s and early 1990s include limited or outdated lists of permitted uses; the proposed rezoning will align the property with today’s code and allow uses consistent with the property’s commercial future land use. A council member moved to place the item on the floor for discussion and the measure passed on first reading by a recorded 5-0 vote.
Ordinance 2025-13 rezones about 5.38 acres from PCD to community commercial. Burman said the PCD included unique, now-obsolete requirements — including a themed color requirement for roof and trim that the original paint manufacturer no longer produces — and that the change would allow the city’s current architectural standards to apply without the PCD’s specific theme. The council placed the item on the floor, heard no public commentary on the record, and approved the first reading 5-0.
Both items were recommended for approval by staff as updates to bring legacy PCDs into consistency with current Port Orange land-development regulations. The council did not record additional conditions or amendments during the first-reading actions.
