The Volusia County Council has postponed its vote on a moratorium for developments in heavy industrial zoned parcels until Feb. 6.

On Thursday, Jan. 4, the council voted 5-2 to hold off on making a decision on the moratorium after an attorney representing Belvedere Terminals requested that the issue be heard in a quasi judicial forum as only five properties in the county are zoned I-2 Heavy Industrial. All five properties are located on Hull Road and Hull Trail, near Ormond's city limits, and are owned by the Florida East Coast Railway, Waste Management Inc. of FL and JMJ Ventures Group LLC.

But, Attorney Nicholas Dancaescu said the moratorium will only really impact the property at 874 Hull Road, where Belvedere Terminals seeks to construct a fuel terminal.
