Summary:
This Land Development Code amendment creates a Creative Village Development Review Committee (CVDRC) in order to expedite discretionary permits within the area of the Creative Village Planned Development. Similar to processes in place for the Southeast Orlando Sector Plan and Baldwin Park, the Creative Village is a unique asset of Downtown Orlando and the City that has detailed regulations from the previous approvals that will guide it development. As such, an expedited process is warranted that will ensure the timely completion of the entitlement process to match needed construction,, financing and infrastructure schedules.
This code amendment was recommended for approval by the Municipal Planning Board at its October 2016 meeting; the minutes of which were subsequently accepted by the City Council on November 14, 2016. |
