The PLDRC unanimously approved forwarding Ordinance 2023-47 to the Volusia County Council with recommendation that it approve the 9-month moratorium with an option for a 3-month extension.

The county has temporarily stopped the Belvedere Terminals project, a decision that has been met with relief from the community. Residents, led by Elena Krafft, are seeking to remove the heavy industrial zoning from the area.

Belvedere Terminals' proposed facility includes six large fuel tanks and was initially planned to have 16 tanks for various substances. The area in question, mostly on Hull Road, consists of five parcels totaling about 74 acres. The current zoning allows for a range of industrial uses, including the proposed fuel facility.

While Belvedere Terminals is open to alternative locations, they have stated that none of the considered options so far meet the project's requirements.

An early morning incident in Volusia County resulted in the tragic death of a pedestrian, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The accident occurred on U.S. Highway 1, just north of Destination Daytona.

Around 3 a.m., a northbound vehicle on U.S. Highway 1 collided with a woman walking in the same direction, the Florida Highway Patrol reported. The crash happened in the outer lane of the highway, where the pedestrian was walking outside of a marked crosswalk.

The unidentified pedestrian was declared dead at the scene of the accident. Meanwhile, the driver of the vehicle involved was unharmed.

Authorities are currently conducting a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the collision.
