TRC approves SP26-030 with reduced southern landscape buffer, subject to tree preservation
Summary
The TRC voted to approve SP26-030 with a reduction of the required 30-foot southern landscape buffer to a minimum of 20 feet, provided the applicant meets tree-preservation requirements and resolves outstanding staff comments.
The City of DeLand TRC approved site plan SP26-030 with a reduced southern landscape buffer after staff confirmed tree-preservation and other outstanding items could be addressed.
A representative moved to "originally approve s p 26Dash030, with the addition of a reduction of the southern landscape buffer from the required 30 feet to 20 feet, subject to providing the required tree preservation and addressing all outstanding settlements." The motion was seconded and the committee voted in favor.
Staff explained the reduction is allowed because the site is a redevelopment parcel and the TRC asked that the motion explicitly require tree preservation and that the applicant respond to all outstanding comments in the portal. The committee noted that larger buffers are preferred where feasible but accepted a minimum 20-foot buffer under the motion’s conditions.
Next steps: The applicant must provide revised plans and tree-preservation details; staff will verify responses in the review portal and record any variances or conditions on the site plan before issuance of development or building permits.
