Council adopts second‑reading amendment to Main Street/Mosaic MPUD; closes extended on phase‑two parcel

The City of DeBary City Council voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance 01‑2026 on second reading, approving amendments to the Main Street/Mosaic mixed planned unit development (MPUD) and related purchase and sale agreements.

Growth Management Director Steven Bap told the council the ordinance would consolidate the project’s previously separate phase one and phase two into a single phase and extend the full completion date to Dec. 30, 2030. Under the revised schedule, Mosaic at DeBary LLC’s remaining 5.62‑acre closing deadline was extended to Dec. 18 of the current year; staff noted Mosaic closed on roughly 13 acres (phase one) in April 2023. Staff also reported that the city’s sale price estimate for the phase‑two parcel is about $1.8 million if sold by the extended date.

Project specifics shown to council included about 36,000 square feet of first‑floor retail, two commercial outparcels along SR‑1792 and roughly 300 town‑home style units in the town‑park portion of the project; staff said unit types will be predominantly studio, one‑ and two‑bedroom units with no three‑bedroom apartments in this MPUD amendment.

Council questions focused on infrastructure timing and access. Vice Mayor Butland asked which phase would include construction of the new spine road (the conversion of Shell Road to the new Main Street spine). Staff said infrastructure work is part of the combined first phase and that Mosaic has 24 months to install underground infrastructure per the agreement.

The council approved the ordinance by roll‑call vote. The amendment preserves the city’s previously negotiated development‑agreement commitments while allowing additional time for Mosaic to complete remaining closings and infrastructure commitments.

Procedural note: The city clerk recorded the second‑reading motion and a unanimous affirmative vote by the five councilors present.
