Introduction
The City of DeLand is launching a 16-month initiative to update its Land Development Codes (LDCs). These LDCs will set standards for land use and development in the City, covering topics such as zoning, building regulations, parking, and signage. These LDCs are intended to implement DeLand’s well thought out community vision plan and comprehensive plan, resolve duplications and conflicts, clarify and consolidate language, streamline development processes, update outdated regulations, and enhance overall efficiency. We invite you to stay informed and involved as this important process unfolds!

LDCs are a set of regulations that governs how land can be used and developed within a specific jurisdiction, such as a city or county.
There are several key reasons for updating the Land Development Code(LDCs):
- Implementing the Community Vision Plan and Comprehensive Plan: Implementing the vision for the City as outlined in the Community Vision Plan and Comprehensive Plan through the LDCs.
- Eliminating Duplications and Conflicts: Reorganizing sections of the Regulations to create a more cohesive and user-friendly document.
- Clarifying and Consolidating Language: Ensuring clear, consistent standards that streamline the development and redevelopment review processes.
- Modernizing Outdated Regulations: Aligning the Regulations with current practices, industry standards, and community needs.
- Enhancing Efficiency: Improving the overall functionality and usability of the LDCs for both staff and the public.

The LDCs provides detailed standards on various aspects of land use, such as zoning, building standards, parking, signs, landscaping, subdivisions, stormwater management, and floodplain management.
