Planning board recommends approval of 426.7-acre Waypoint preliminary plat
Summary
The board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Waypoint major subdivision preliminary plat (DEV2023-123), a mixed-use plan for 426.7 acres west of I-95 on Tomoka Farms Road that would allow single-family, townhomes, apartments and nonresidential parcels; staff noted necessary off-site improvements and existing permits.
The Daytona Beach Planning Board on Nov. 21 recommended approval of a preliminary plat for the Waypoint project, a 426.7‑acre mixed‑use subdivision west of I‑95 on Tomoka Farms Road.
Luke Krinkus, a city planner, said the major preliminary plat (DEV2023‑123) is consistent with Article 7 of the Land Development Code and the Waypoint Plan District Agreement. Krinkus told the board the plat would allow about 295 single-family units (40-foot lots), 315 single-family units (50-foot lots), 250 townhomes and 800 apartments, plus nonresidential parcels.
Attorney Joey Posey and engineer Jared Stubbs, representing the developer, answered technical questions from board members about access, drainage and environmental review. Stubbs said the project has FEMA and Water Management District permits in hand, that the project will provide more floodplain compensation than exists today, and that the plan proposes four full access points. Stubbs added that the plan intends to source most fill material on-site subject to soil suitability determined by borings.
Board members raised concerns about retention areas, high water table and whether off-site improvements would move water downstream; staff noted that earlier City Commission negotiations secured off-site improvements for Tomoka Farms Road and that those improvements were part of the package that led to the PD approval in May 2023.
A motion to recommend approval of the Waypoint preliminary plat was moved and seconded; the board voted unanimously to forward the item to City Commission. The developer may proceed to final plat steps following City Commission action.
What’s next: The board’s recommendation will be included in the transmittal packet to the City Commission for its review and any required conditions.
