The City of Daytona Beach's Comprehensive Plan serves as a long-range policy framework guiding growth, development, infrastructure and quality of life through coordinated goals, objectives and policies across multiple service areas. At its core, the plan focuses on managing growth while maintaining livability and infrastructure capacity. It emphasizes coordinated land use planning, ensuring that development aligns with infrastructure, environmental constraints and community needs. This includes close coordination with regional partners such as Volusia County, VOTRAN and the School Board to align land use, transportation and public facilities. A major component of the plan is housing, with policies aimed at ensuring a diverse supply of safe, affordable and accessible housing options. The city supports private- sector development, streamlines review processes and prioritizes affordable housing initiatives through land use and regulatory tools. The transportation and mobility framework prioritizes maintaining level-of-service standards, expanding transit options and supporting multimodal systems. This includes improving roadway capacity, enhancing public transit (especially for disadvantaged populations) and planning for future regional rail connections. The plan also highlights recreation, open space and environmental access, aiming to expand park systems, improve public access to waterways and develop connected trail and greenway networks. Accessibility, equity and coordination with other agencies are key themes, along with ongoing investment and maintenance of park facilities. In addition, the plan addresses infrastructure and public facilities, including airport coordination, utilities and capital improvements. It ensures that future development is supported by adequate infrastructure and that impacts from major facilities (like the airport) are mitigated. Finally, the Comprehensive Plan emphasizes intergovernmental coordination and community design, encouraging shared-use facilities (such as schools, parks and libraries), safe pedestrian access and neighborhood-focused development that enhances overall quality of life.
