Deltona seeking to tighten restrictions on where sex offenders can live
The City of Deltona, Florida is considering expanding their Sex Offender Residency Restrictions. A resolution was brought forward this past Monday to “add “Designated School Bus Stops, Libraries, and Churches to the list defining locations as to where children congregate so that distancing calculations as to living restriction where an individual convicted of a violation of F.S. Section 794.011, 800.04, 827.071, 847.0135(5) or 847.0145 or similar law of another jurisdiction, regardless of whether adjudication has been withheld, may reside in the City of Deltona. Additionally, revision to Sec 48-2 (4) Temporary residence definition changed from five days to three”

I have heard of people creating 2 ft. square patches of grass and calling them a “park” to take advantage of this.
