Planning board recommends PUD for New Smyrna Beach Medical Complex with six stipulations

The New Smyrna Beach Planning & Zoning Board voted unanimously to recommend that the city commission approve PUD-4-22, a proposed New Smyrna Beach Medical Complex and Wellness Center, subject to six stipulations that the board recorded into the recommendation.

The motion, made by a board member and seconded by another, listed the stipulations: (1) design compliance with enhanced New Smyrna Beach stormwater standards; (2) a definition of substantial completion as 100% site work substantially completed and a 100% building shell substantially completed; (3) the applicant will pursue additional storage methods such as dry storage in the 75-foot setback to increase on-site retention; (4) long-term maintenance of stormwater infrastructure and improvements; (5) normal business hours for tenants to be Monday–Friday approximately 8 a.m.–5 p.m.; and (6) a photometric plan demonstrating no overflow lighting beyond the property lines.

An applicant representative told the board the project is intended as a family-practice/general-practice facility and explicitly said, “This is not a pain management clinic,” seeking to allay neighbor concerns about opioid-related services. The applicant also confirmed driveway access will be two-way and acknowledged that the preliminary plan includes four parking spaces, which the team said they will address through standard site-plan and engineering reviews.

The board recorded a roll-call vote; the clerk announced the tally as five in favor, zero opposed. The recommendation advances the application to the city commission for final action.
