There will be two Ormond Beach Planning Board meetings next week — one on Monday, Dec. 5, and another on Thursday, Dec. 8.
At the meeting on Dec. 5, the Planning Board will discuss five items related to the proposed 137-room hotel and 15-home project at 251 S. Atlantic Ave. and 264 S. Atlantic Ave. The developer, Ormond Beach Holdings LLC, seeks an issuance of a development order, two zoning map amendments, a comprehensive land use amendment and approval of a preliminary plat.
This meeting was previously scheduled for Nov. 10, and postponed due to Hurricane Nicole. At the Dec. 5 meeting, the board will also need to elect a new chair, as former Chair Harold Briley was elected to the City Commission. The board will meet at 6 p.m. inside the City Commission Chambers at City Hall.
The proposed five-story hotel is planned to span 95,700 square feet on 2.19 acres of oceanfront land. The 15 residential homes across the street will occupy, if approved, 3.49 acres of the former Florida Hospital Oceanside site. The hospital was demolished in 2019.
The developer plans to construct 108 parking spaces next to the hotel east of A1A, and an additional 62 spaces across the street. The hotel will be a Marriott Residence Inn. Portions of the project also include the land at 225 Magnolia Ave. and 300 S. Atlantic Ave.
The developer seeks a rezoning to a Planned Business Development since the oceanfront parcel and a portion of the former hospital site needed for parking are currently zoned B-6 Tourist Commercial and B-1 Professional Office/Hospital, respectively.
Additionally, the developer seeks a rezoning from the remainder of the hospital site to Single-Family Medium Density for the 15-home community along Valencia Drive, to be known as “Tide’s Edge at Ormond Beach.”
At the Dec. 5 meeting, the Planning Board will also consider a preliminary plat for Phase 3A of Plantation Oaks, to consist of 94 homes, and a zoning map amendment and comprehensive land use map amendment for RidgeHaven West.
At the board’s meeting on Thursday, Dec. 8, members will discuss a zoning map amendment and issuance of a development order for the Tymber Creek Apartments project.
According to the newest site plan, submitted to the city on Oct. 25, the developer — VCP Ormond Beach II, LLC — seeks to construct a 300-unit apartment complex composed of 10 buildings on 19.62 acres of land at 2011 W. Granada Blvd., behind the current Walgreens.
The apartment project was first proposed in 2020, but it never reached the Planning Board or City Commission for approval. A second neighborhood meeting was held this year on June 8.
The board will also discuss two PBD amendments for self-storage projects — one for the Ormond Central development at the corner of West Granada Boulevard and South Old Kings Road, and one proposed at 1405 N. U.S. 1.
Six veterans who were previously inducted to the Florida Veterans Hall of Fame will be honored by the Volusia County Council at its meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 6.
The council will also unveil a Veterans Wall of Fame in the Thomas C. Kelly Administration Center, located at 123 W. Indiana Ave., in DeLand.
Two of the veterans — John Brinkley and Dr. Frank Farmer -— are from Ormond Beach.
According to a press release by Volusia County, Brinkley served in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II and in the Air Force during the Korean War. He was the founder of the Veterans Museum and Education Center in Daytona Beach. He died on Aug. 6 at the age of 93.
Brinkley had been inducted into the Florida Veterans Hall of Fame in 2016.
Farmer served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, and in the U.S. Air Force at Elgin Air Force Base, the press release states. He previously served as Florida’s surgeon general from 2011-2012.
Farmer was inducted into the Florida Veterans Hall of Fame in 2017.
The Volusia ECHO Advisory Committee and Resource Stewardship Division are looking for resident input.
A 2022 ECHO survey is now available for residents to complete. The survey’s goals are to “assess the quality of life as it relates to ECHO in the county, examine satisfaction with current projects and learn resident preferences for future projects,” according to a press release.
The survey is made up of 13 questions and is estimated to take about five minutes to complete. Residents have until Dec. 14 to complete it.
