The YMCA has been a tenant at 4701 City Center Parkway since 1989. Their current lease is due to expire in 2027. However, they have requested an updated lease for 25 years to make them eligible for a broader range of grants. Key aspects of the lease include: a) The rent structure will not change from the previous agreement. Starting in January 2026, the rent will increase to $21,105.34 a month, with annual increases of 2% each year thereafter. b) The building is 36 years old and is in need of some upgrades. It is common for the owner to make reasonable improvements at the tenants' request at the time of lease renewal. These lease payments will provide funds for repairs and upgrades to the building as needed during the 25-year lease. The attached lease includes a City contribution allowance not to exceed $400,000.00 to be applied to projects mutually agreed upon by City staff and the YMCA. It is anticipated the future projects will include upgrades to the men's and women's locker rooms, and interior lighting upgrades. c) The YMCA will be responsible for all costs, expenses and obligations related to day-to-day operations, repairs, replacements, and all routine maintenance necessary to maintain the interior, non-structural components of the building, including routine pool maintenance, including the deck area surrounding the pool, day-to-day routine maintenance and repairs of the plumbing and electrical systems, routine preventative maintenance of the roof, and as more particularly described in the lease agreement. d) The City will be responsible for the repair, replacement, and restoration of the structural elements, Fire Suppression system, and m echanical systems. In addition, the City will provide routine maintenance of the HVAC system, exterior painting, roof, and pool resurfacing, and as more particularly described in the lease agreement. e) The YMCA may seek ECHO grants in the future. These requests will require council approval before an application is submitted. | attachments=1 | reports=1

As part of the Minor Subdivision Application currently under review for 1143 Old Hammock Road (subject property), the property owner is required by the Land Development Code (LDC) to deed approximately 9,276 square feet of Old Hammock Road to the City prior to approval of the Minor Subdivision Application. Location map of 1143 Old Hammock Road and area of paved roadway to be deeded to the City Old Hammock Road was originally platted as a private road as part of the Bennetts Hammock Subdivision Plat in 1989. In 1999, Old Hammock Road was deeded to the City of Port Orange and designated as a public right-of-way. However, as the subject property changed ownership and was the subject of litigation, the legal descriptions in the deeds varied, with some conveyances relying upon a pre-plat description and some relying upon a post-plat description. As a result, a portion of the Old Hammock Road public right-of-way is included within the legal description of the subject property. This error was identified during the review of the Minor Subdivision Application, to subdivide a ±2.47-acre parcel into three single-family lots. The proposed deed is intended to correct this error in the legal description of the subject property. As part of the Minor Subdivision Application, the current property owner is required to deed back to the City approximately 9,276 square feet of the existing Old Hammock Road. There are no proposed improvements to the Old Hammock Road right-of-way, which currently includes a 24-foot paved roadway and an eight-foot-wide sidewalk on the north side. The city has maintained Old Hammock Road since 1999, when it was designated as a public roadway. The Minor Subdivision Application can be approved administratively once the required portion of Old Hammock Road has been formally deeded back to the City. City staff has reviewed the Minor Subdivision Application for compliance with all applicable requirements in the LDC and the Master Development Agreement for the Bennetts Hammock Planned Unit Development. | attachments=2 | reports=1

Public Works Staff is requesting Council ratification of the emergency purchase of temporary housing for Fire Rescue personnel at Station 74 in the amount of $73,035.86 Fire Station 74, built in the late 1990s, has had ongoing issues with the air conditioning system over the past couple years. A capital project to address the vent and duct issues and replace impacted drywall and ceiling components was funded in the FY 25 budget. As part of the preparation for the project, mold was discovered in some areas of the building and remediation was added to the project. Initially it was determined that the building could remain in use and be occupied by firefighters while the remediation and repairs took place. As a result, temporary housing was not included in the initial project scope. However, once the remediation work began, additional mold was discovered in areas previously deemed safe to occupy, and there was a possibility some could become airborne and spread to other areas of the station. As soon as Fire Command Staff was informed of this, they determined the best approach to protect the health of fire personnel was to remove them from the building and put them in temporary housing until the mold was removed. Immediately, the crew and apparatus from Station 74 were temporarily relocated to Station 75 while Public Works and Fire staff worked urgently to find temporary housing to locate crews back at the station. Time was critical for this effort to get the crew back to the station as soon as possible and limit the impact on response times in the zone. Staff initially looked for something to rent such as FEMA trailers or campers while also looking for alternate city-owned locations in the Station’s zone. After spending several hours on these efforts without results, staff considered purchasing campers with the intent to sell them back after the project so the total cost would ultimately be closer to the rental option. Ultimately, three small campers were purchased and operational in the Station 74 parking lot less than 24 hours after the initial determination to leave the building. They will continue to be used for the crews at the station until the mold and air conditioning project is completed and it is deemed safe to return to the building. At that time, staff will seek to re-sell the campers to recoup as much of the cost as possible. The request to rent or purchase temporary housing was deemed as an emergency consistent with the City’s Purchasing Ordinance under Section 2-271 and requires ratification by Council. | reports=1

Each year, the City is required to amend its Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element (CIE) to include projects from the City’s current FY26-30 Capital Improvements Program (CIP). The projects copied from the CIP are primarily improvements needed to maintain the City’s adopted level of service (LOS) standards for public facilities. These facilities include water, sewer, stormwater, solid waste, roads, parks, and schools. The CIP was adopted by the City Council as part of the FY26 Operating and Capital Budgets on September 17, 2025, by Resolution No. 25-45. The FY 26-30 CIP includes various projects to support the LOS for City public facilities. The proposed amendments take these projects previously approved by the Council with the CIP and add them to the CIE. State law requires that local governments update their Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element (CIE) every year to show that they have funded or planned to fund the public facility improvements needed to support their population. The proposed amendments in Exhibit A are required to be in the underline/strikethrough format. For each table or text that is to be updated from the prior year CIP (FY25 – FY29) to the current year CIP (FY26 – FY30), the deleted prior year text is shown in strikethrough ( strikethrough ) format, and the added current year text is underlined ( underlined ). Text that is not struck through or underlined remains as existing text in the FY26-30 CIE. According to Florida Statutes, the annual update to the CIE is required to be adopted by ordinance, which requires two public hearings and approved by City Council. Review by the Planning Commission is not required for the annual update to the CIE. The Staff Report is attached for more information. | attachments=3 | reports=1

Planning Commission Action (11/20/25): Recommended Approval (5-0) Daniel D. and Sandra L. Bordis, property owners and applicants, are requesting approval to change the Future Land Use (FLU) designation for a ±9.37-acre property from Volusia County Urban Low Intensity (0.2-4 units/acre) to City of Port Orange Rural Transition (0-2 units/acre). The subject property is located on the south side of Fern Park Drive, east of Taylor Road, and behind the All-Aboard Storage development. The proposed FLU amendment will reduce the allowed density for the subject property from 37 units to 19 units. Location map of 1737 Fern Park Drive The subject property is currently developed with a single-family residence. Access is provided from an unpaved easement along the north side of the property (Fern Park Drive) and an additional access easement through the All-Aboard Storage Crane Lakes development to the west. In 2018, the subject property was annexed into the City of Port Orange. In 2020, the former owner of the subject property submitted development applications to change the FLU designation and zoning classification from Volusia County to the City to allow the development of a townhouse subdivision. Neither of the development applications were approved by the City Council. As a result, the subject property is located within Port Orange, but its current FLU designation is Volusia County Urban Low Intensity (0.2–4 units/acre), and zoning classification is Volusia County A-2 Rural Agriculture. The current property owners have submitted development applications to change the FLU designation to City of Port Orange Rural Transition (0-2 units/acre) and rezone to the City of Port Orange Agriculture (A) zoning district (see Case No. REZONING-25-0005). If the development applications are approved, the property owners plan to demolish the existing single-family home, which is in disrepair, and construct a new single-family home on the subject property. At a future date, the property owners also plan to submit a Special Exception application to request approval to allow both the residence and nursery operations to coexist on the subject property. The City of Port Orange Rural Transition FLU designation allows residential development at a density of no more than two units per acre and may also include accessory agricultural uses, based on the appropriate surrounding land use. The Rural Transition FLU designation is suitable for the subject property as it is near Spruce Creek and its tributaries, situated between Agricultural lands and areas of higher density/intensity, and is generally consistent with the subject property’s current FLU designation. Overall, the amendment to change the FLU designation for the ±9.37-acre subject property from Volusia County Urban Low Intensity (0.2-4 units/acre) to City of Port Orange Rural Transition (0-2 units/acre) will result in a net decrease in impacts on public infrastructure, as the theoretical maximum number of residential units permitted on the property would decrease from 37 to 19. The Staff Report is attached for more information. | attachments=3 | reports=1

Planning Commission Action (11/20/25): Recommended Approval (5-0) Daniel D. and Sandra L. Bordis, property owners and applicants, are requesting to rezone ± 9.37 acres from Volusia County A-2 Rural Agriculture to City of Port Orange Agriculture (A). The subject property is located on the south side of Fern Park Drive, east of Taylor Road and behind the All-Aboard Storage development. The subject property is currently developed with a single-family residence. Access is provided via an unpaved easement along the north side of the property (Fern Park Drive) and an additional access easement through the All-Aboard Storage development to the west. Location map for 1737 Fern Park Drive In 2018, the subject property was annexed into the City of Port Orange. In 2020, the former owner of the subject property submitted development applications to change the FLU designation and zoning classification from Volusia County to City to allow the development of a townhouse subdivision. Neither development applications were approved by the City Council. As a result, the subject property is located within Port Orange, but its current FLU designation is Volusia County Urban Low Intensity (0.2–4 units/acre), and zoning classification is Volusia County A-2 Rural Agriculture. The current property owners have submitted development applications to change the Future Land Use (FLU) designation to City of Port Orange Rural Transition (0-2 units/acre) and rezone to the City of Port Orange Agriculture (A) zoning district (see Case No. CPAM-25-0003). The proposed rezoning to the City of Port Orange Agriculture (A) zoning district would not increase the residential development allowed on the subject property. If rezoned to the City Agricultural (A) zoning district, which allows 1-acre lots, the property could be subdivided at a later date to create up to nine single-family lots, in addition to the agricultural uses permitted under the City’s Agricultural (A) district. According to the property owners, they intend to demolish the existing single-family home, which is in disrepair, and construct one new single-family home on the subject property, and at a future date, to submit a Special Exception application to allow the development of a retail and wholesale nursery on the rear portion of the property, permitting both the residence and nursery operations to coexist on the subject property. Retail and wholesale nurseries are allowed uses within the City’s Agricultural (A) zoning district; however, a retail nursery requires approval of a Special Exception by City Council. Based on a preliminary review, the subject property appears to meet all the applicable criteria outlined in the Land Development Code (LDC) to allow a retail nursery within the Agricultural (A) zoning district. The requested City Agricultural (A) zoning district is suitable for this location and is compatible with the surrounding properties, as well as consistent with the proposed Rural Transition (0-2 units per acre) FLU designation. Any development of the subject property will be reviewed through either the building permit or the Development Review process, based on the type of improvement proposed. All development on the property will be required to comply with the requirements in the LDC to ensure compatibility between land uses, such as scale of development, height, setbacks, landscape buffers, and design. The Staff Report is attached for more information. | attachments=3 | reports=1

Planning Commission Action (11/20/2025): Recommended Approval (5-0) In the 2025 legislative session, the Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 954, which requires local governments to adopt an ordinance establishing a process for applicants seeking reasonable accommodations from land-use regulations that would otherwise prohibit the establishment of a certified recovery residence. On June 25, 2025, Governor DeSantis approved Senate Bill 954, which was codified into law as Chapter 2025‑182, Laws of Florida. Chapter 2025‑182 establishes new regulatory requirements for certified recovery residences in Florida, effective July 1, 2025. Pursuant to Section 397.487, Florida Statutes: "By January 1, 2026, the governing body of each county or municipality shall adopt an ordinance establishing procedures for the review and approval of certified recovery residences within its jurisdiction . The ordinance must include a process for requesting reasonable accommodations from any local land use regulation that serves to prohibit the establishment of a certified recovery residence." Certified recovery residences offer structured, supportive living environments for individuals recovering from substance use disorders. Typically operated as group living arrangements, these residences can present zoning and land-use challenges related to occupancy limits, neighborhood compatibility, and use classifications. The proposed amendment to Chapter 16 of the Land Development Code (LDC) to ensure compliance with Section 397.487, Florida Statutes, and Senate Bill 954, Ch. 2025-182, Laws of Florida: Creates a new section in Chapter 16 with definitions that apply to certified recovery residences, along with procedures for review of applications for certified recovery residences. Specifies that certified recovery residences may be established only within the following three city-designated multi-family residential zoning districts (R-3L, R-3M, and R-3H), except where reasonable accommodations are requested and approved. Provides for the reasonable accommodation to be consistent with the federal Fair Housing Amendments Act that requires land use regulations for which the applicant is seeking a reasonable accommodation must not facially discriminate against or otherwise disparately impact the applicant. Provides for reasonable accommodation if any local land use regulation prohibits the establishment of a certified recovery residence. Provides criteria for the city to consider a reasonable accommodation request for establishing a certified recovery residence. Provides a timeframe to process an application for a certified recovery residence. Provides for final determinations to be issued within sixty (60) days of receipt of a completed application, unless the parties involved agree in writing to a reasonable extension of time. Provides for the determination to be approved in whole or in part, with or without conditions; or denied, stating with specificity the objective, evidence-based reasons for denial, and identifying any deficiencies or actions necessary for reconsideration. Provides a spacing requirement that a certified recovery residence shall not be located within a radius of 1,000 feet of another certified recovery residence or within a radius of 1,200 feet of an existing community residential home, as defined in Section 419.001(1)(a), Florida Statutes, unless the applicant demonstrates that closer proximity will not alter the neighborhood’s residential character and will best meet residents’ needs. Stipulates that the requirements for certified recovery residence do not supersede any current or future declarations of condominium or covenant or any cooperative document. | attachments=3 | reports=1
