Daytona Beach retained Clarion Associates to prepare an update to the city’s existing Land Development Code. The goals of the update process include (1) making the code more user-friendly and more procedurally efficient; (2) implementing the goals and policy direction in the city’s adopted vision plan and comprehensive plan update; (3) modifying development regulations and practices in infill and built areas of the community to encourage redevelopment/
revitalization in ways that are compatible with the desired context; (4) encourage redevelopment of older, suburban-oriented commercial corridors into more mixed use, pedestrian-oriented places; (5) ensuring the character of existing residential neighborhoods is protected, and (6) raising the bar for development quality in the community generally. The draft Land Development Code is currently under review.
