Staff recommends that the Planning Board approve the VP-25-000165 with the following findings and conditions:
Findings:
1. The parcel use as a water treatment plant and Public Works facility is unique to this location.
2. This parcel has been an essential public service facility for over 40 years, which was started by the Deltona Corporation.

4. Granting the variance will be the minimum variance to make possible the reasonable use of land, buildings, and structures.
5. Granting the variances requested will not confer on the petitioner any special privilege that is denied by this LDC to other similar uses, lands, buildings, or structures in the same zoning district.
6. Granting the variance will be in harmony with the intent and purpose of this zoning code, and not be injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
7. Granting of the variance will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, Capital Improvements Element, Policy 1.1.4.
Condition:
1. Approval of this petition, VP-25-000165, is contingent upon approval of SDPA-25-000130.
