Overview: In a key development at the Volusia ECHO Advisory Committee meeting, members voted to recommend shortening the restrictive covenants on grants from 40 years to 20 years. This proposal aims to streamline the grant process and make it more adaptable to changing needs. The committee discussed the differences in existing grant terms, which currently include 30-year and 40-year covenants, and decided to push for a more uniform 20-year term. This measure will now be forwarded to the county council for consideration.

Overview: At the recent Volusia Planning Commission meeting, the focus was on various land use and zoning issues, with discussions surrounding a resiliency action plan addressing potential flooding risks. The plan forecasts that specific properties could face inundation with just a one-foot rise in sea level, increasing to 4.5 feet by 2060. The implications of such flooding on septic tank use and the health impacts on the St. John’s River were central to the discussions. The commission debated how these projections might affect future rebuilding efforts, emphasizing the importance of adhering to updated building standards and evaluating the potential need for policy changes to enhance land development regulations.
