City schedules public seminars and charrettes to fast‑track comprehensive‑plan update amid moratorium
Summary
Development Services staff announced a multi‑session public engagement plan — about a dozen meetings between January and June — to craft the comprehensive‑plan update and meet moratorium timing; staff said the state review typically takes about 90 days.
Edgewater's Development Services Director told the Planning & Zoning Board that staff will hold a series of public education seminars and interactive charrettes in January as the first step in a comprehensive‑plan update aimed at responding to a recent moratorium and clarifying future land use citywide. "We will be mailing that citywide to everyone in the city," the director said, describing two initial educational presentations followed by workshops and targeted engagements.
The director outlined a compressed schedule: five initial public meetings in January, then roughly 12 public engagements through June, followed by Planning & Zoning review in August and ordinance readings in November and December. He cautioned that a large‑scale comprehensive plan amendment requires transmission to Volusia County and the state for review and that "the state... is taking about 90 days to get comments back," which constrains the timeline. Staff emphasized a public‑driven process with charrettes and mapping exercises to inform the plan and subsequent land‑development code updates.
