Summary of Proceedings

Deltona Special Magistrate Code Compliance Hearing - June 24, 2026

The City of Deltona held its Special Magistrate Code Compliance hearing on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, beginning at 5:30 p.m. The hearing was conducted by Special Magistrate John Van Lanningham, who swore in city staff and heard cases involving code violations. Three cases were withdrawn or continued at the start, and one case (DEL 26033) was heard on its merits.

Consent Calendar

  • Minutes from the May 27, 2026 hearing were approved with no objections.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • No public comments were made during the preliminary items portion of the hearing.

Discussion Items

  • Case Withdrawals: The city withdrew two fire-related cases: FIRE 0332026 (1251 Providence Boulevard) and FIRE 0372026 (1200 Deltona Boulevard).
  • Continuance Granted: Case DEL 26035, 789 Chippendale Street, was continued for one month.
  • DEL 26033 — 562 Fort Smith Boulevard (Vehicle Parking Violation): Code Compliance Officer Enrique Rios presented the case against respondent Jessica Pena (also known as Jessica Hernandez). The city alleged a violation of Deltona ordinance section 66-18H, which limits parking to a maximum of three vehicles in the side or rear yards. The case originated April 10, 2026 from a report of someone living in an RV at the property; that report was inconclusive and the case was closed. A subsequent report on April 24, 2026 led to a vehicle violation case. A citation was issued on May 16, 2026, and a notice of violation was sent certified mail. Discussions with tenants Kayla and Josh revealed family circumstances. The case was escalated, but the property has come into compliance as of today's inspection. Respondent Jessica Hernandez (also known as Jessica Pena) appeared with her husband, William Hernandez. They had no questions for the city and offered no testimony. The city requested the hearing be treated as an initial hearing with a repeat-violation warning. The magistrate received the city's exhibits, found the violation, and ordered the property to remain in compliance. No fines were imposed because the property was already in compliance at the time of the hearing. Then the second case is DEL 26034? No, I'm going to stop there and do this carefully. I don't want to hallucinate that there are more cases; the transcript is long. Let me read the transcript text to see all cases coveredHere is a structured markdown summary of the Deltona, Florida Special Magistrate Code Enforcement hearing held on June 24, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. It includes the preliminary matters, the one case heard, and the announced withdrawals and continuances, based on the provided transcript.
