(386) 423-3872 (New Smyrna Beach area)Land Development serves as the administrator of the Volusia County Land Development Code, Ordinance 88-3, as amended, and as such, provides the vital function of central coordination of all review processes mandated by this Ordinance. This Office is responsible for coordinating all technical reviews for commercial site, subdivision, stormwater management, tree removal, flood hazard, wetland alteration, subdivision exemption, and right-of-way use permit applications, as well as other applications involving development review, under the Volusia County Land Development Code.
The Land Development Office reviews and distributes all requests for development orders for commercial site developments and subdivision developments pursuant to the Land Development Code and the Zoning Ordinance. This includes the review and acceptance of all requests for commercial building permits as well as single family residential permits which require Land Development exemption consideration. This Office also supports the Development Review Committee, the Volusia County Council, the Daytona Beach International Airport Review Committee, and various other County, State, and Federal agencies.
This Office reviews and issues development orders pursuant to County, State, and Federal regulations for the unincorporated areas of Volusia County. It also provides information to developers, engineers, architects, attorneys, title companies, realtors, private property owners, and the general public regarding property status, developability, and current regulations. The Land Development Office maintains its project records for the life of all projects per state record retention requirements.
Land Development is responsible for the coordination of the Development Review Committee meetings, Technical Review Staff meetings, related agenda items for the County Council, and various other development related meetings and conferences.
This Office provides assistance to numerous County agencies including, but not limited to, the Property Appraiser’s Office, Traffic Engineering, Construction Engineering, Survey, Utilities, Solid Waste, Fire Services, Beach Services, Daytona Beach International Airport, and Environmental Services (specifically, forestry and wetlands), as well as five separate Environmental Health sections of the State Health Department and the municipalities within the boundaries of Volusia County.
The search for more efficient and effective ways to process reviews continues to be this Office’s top goal. As a reflection of this goal, we are continuing to pursue an on-line review system (one-stop permitting) for commercial sites and subdivisions. The ultimate goal of the Land Development Office is to create a dynamic framework for the development review process that is both conducive to the exchange of ideas and responsive to customer needs.
