Deltona commission recesses Feb. 2 meeting after no quorum; two land‑use items to be rescheduled
Summary
The Deltona City Commission recessed and then adjourned its Feb. 2 meeting after officials determined a quorum was not present. Staff identified two land‑use items — a conditional‑use request for a house of worship at 590 Fort Smith Boulevard and a rezoning of about 14.43 acres on Lake Helen Osteen Road — that will be rescheduled.
Speaker 2, the presiding official, recessed and then adjourned the Deltona City Commission meeting on Monday, Feb. 2 after the body lacked a quorum and could not proceed with scheduled public hearings. Speaker 2 said the meeting would be recessed to Tuesday, Feb. 17 at 6:30 p.m. in City Hall Commission Chambers and to a special commission meeting on Monday, Feb. 9 at 5:30 p.m., and later stated, "We are adjourning."
The move came after Speaker 1—who read the roll and staff agenda items—warned that several public hearings would need to be re‑advertised if they were not continued. Speaker 1 identified two items that had received mail notices: ordinance O1-2026, a request to amend the official zoning map, and resolution 2026-01, described as a major conditional‑use application. When asked for details by Speaker 3, staff read aloud that resolution 2026-01 concerns a major conditional‑use application for property at 590 Fort Smith Boulevard "to allow a house of worship in the R 1 Zoning District," and that ordinance O1-2026 requests rezoning "approximately 14.43 acres located at 2830, 2846, and 2855 Lake Helen Osteen Road from Residential Estate 1 (RE-1) to Mixed Use Planned Unit Development (PUD)" (as read in the meeting record).
Speaker 3 raised a procedural objection, asking, "What exactly is the purpose of continuing this meeting? Is it simply so we do not have to re notice new hopes agenda item?" and said they were "not comfortable doing any sort of action this evening," urging the body to adjourn. After staff clarified which items had mailouts and which would require re‑advertising, the presiding official declared the meeting adjourned without taking any substantive votes on the listed ordinances or resolutions.
What happens next: The commission has scheduled follow‑up sessions; the staff statements in the meeting record indicate some items already received mailed notice while others would require re‑advertising. The two land‑use matters named in the session—the conditional‑use application for a house of worship at 590 Fort Smith Boulevard and the rezoning request affecting roughly 14.43 acres on Lake Helen Osteen Road—remain on the docket for future meeting(s) and will be subject to the usual public‑notice and public‑hearing procedures when reconvened. The meeting concluded informally with the presiding official saying, "Everyone stay warm," and members leaving without further action.
