Commission approves SRF loan ordinances, advances North Shore plan amendment and awards fleet contract
Summary
In a largely procedural session the commission adopted two SRF loan ordinances for wastewater and water system work (each 7–0), approved a first-reading plan amendment and rezoning schedule for the North Shore project with a preserved wetland core, and approved a one-year fleet maintenance contract with an authorized spend up to $500,000 for the fiscal year.
The Daytona Beach City Commission on March 4 approved several finance and planning items with broad support and set dates for final actions on land-use matters.
The commission unanimously adopted two finance department ordinances on second reading that authorize State Revolving Fund loan applications: one for storm-hardening and resiliency projects for the wastewater utility and a second for improvements to the city’s water utility system. Both measures passed 7–0 with no public speakers.
The planning director, Jessica Gallo (Speaker 15), addressed the commission about the North Shore large-scale comprehensive plan amendment and the associated PDG rezoning for roughly 175.68 acres. Gallo said the project includes a wetland core that staff proposes to preserve (approximately 70 acres preserved) while upland planted pine would be removed. Commissioners asked about tree preservation and the degree of clearing; staff said 40% of the site would be preserved overall, exceeding county standards and the city's typical preservation thresholds. The first reading and public hearing passed and were set for May 20 (9d was approved 7–0 on first reading; related rezoning introduction set for May 20).
Administrative business included awarding an as-needed fleet maintenance contract to Fourboys Enterprise Inc. for one year with options to renew up to four additional one-year terms and authorizing the city manager to expend up to $500,000 for the remainder of the fiscal year; that resolution passed 7–0.
Commissioners also heard manager and staff reports: the city manager reported an estimated $9,478,318 available for a building-permit rebate program (subject to audit confirmation) and said follow-up resolutions will be provided to create a rebate program consistent with state auditor requirements.
The meeting closed after public comment and several commissioner district updates.
