(a) Until such time as the City shall adopt a comprehensive plan, the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan of Volusia County, as the same exists on the day the City commences corporate existence, shall remain in effect as the City's transitional comprehensive plan. However, all planning functions, duties, and authority shall thereafter be vested in the City Commission of Deltona, which shall be deemed the local planning agency until the Commission establishes a separate local planning agency.

(b) All powers and duties of the Volusia County Planning and Land Development Regulations Commission, any Boards of Adjustment and Appeals created pursuant to statutory trade codes, and the County Council of Volusia County, as set forth in these transitional zoning and land use regulations, shall be vested in the City Commission of Deltona until such time as the City Commission delegates all or a portion thereof to another entity.

In the event an interlocal agreement is not enacted by July 1, 1996, the said revenues shall be distributed in accordance with F.S. § 336.025.

Section 14.[Effective date.]

This act shall take effect as provided herein only upon its approval by a majority vote of those qualified electors residing within the proposed corporate limits of the proposed City of Deltona as described in section 9(1), voting in a referendum election to be called by the Volusia County Council and to be held in accordance with section 13(1) and with the provisions of general law relating to elections currently in force, except that this section and section 15 shall take effect upon becoming a law.
