Though the septic-to-sewer conversion is at a standstill in Ormond Beach and Ormond-by-the-Sea, the city has begun the process to amend its comprehensive plan to strike annexation as a requirement for north peninsula homes connecting to city utilities.
The Planning Board will hear the proposed amendments at its next meeting on Thursday, Dec. 12.
The changes are a result of Ormond-by-the-Sea residents fearing they will be automatically annexed into Ormond Beach if a septic-to-sewer conversion moves forward. Some suspected annexation was why the city was pursuing the conversion.
At the City Commission meeting on Sept. 18, the commission agreed to begin amending the existing comprehensive plan.
About 39 north peninsula residents signed an annexation agreement too obtain city water between 2014-2019, according to a report by City Attorney Randy Hayes.
The amendments will need to go through two readings at the Planning Board level before they are reviewed by the City Commission.
