AN INCENTIVE FOR AEROSPACE-CENTERED DEVELOPMENT IN VOLUSIA
COUNTY.
93
What is the goal?
Take advantage of the
proximity of Volusia County
to the Cape Canaveral
Space Port
Ensure that there is flexibility
to respond to the expansion
of targeted commercial
space industries
Create planning tool that
assists economic
development efforts to
expand Volusia County’s
employment opportunity
94
What does it do?
Creates a land use overlay designed to
incentivize aerospace industries within the
southeast region of the county.
Allows, by right, targeted industries based on
the North American Industry Classification
System Sector 33
Focuses on manufacturing of equipment,
parts or services used in space flight
industries.
Allows all non-residential land use categories
to be used for the targeted industries
through the Planned Unit Development
zoning classification 95
How will it be implemented?
Uses the Commercial Space Industry
Supply Chain Characterization to
identify critical elements that make a
site attractive to the space industry
Uses existing planning documents from
Space Florida and other commercial
space agencies to identify geographic
areas
Develops comprehensive plan and
zoning regulations that allow for quick
response to targeted industries
96
Tools and Actions
Use Geographic Information System
(GIS) data from local, federal and state
agencies to identify prime areas
Coordination with local governments
regarding the availability of utilities
Identify methods for incremental
expansion of utilities by allowing
advanced on-site treatment
Coordinate planning for future roadway
improvements
Map out areas of the county that would
qualify and include in the overlay district
Limit applicability to targeted industries
97
Current opportunities
