Temporary Use Permit for an open-air food, entertainment, and recreation venue comprised of repurposed shipping containers at 6877 Tavistock Lakes Blvd
Summary:
Lake Nona Land Company, LLC is requesting a temporary use permit to allow the development of an open-air food and entertainment venue comprised of repurposed shipping containers, food trucks, a dog park, and a recreation area for children. Future development under this Temporary Use request includes a Padel Court along the north side of the subject site. The proposed development is located at 6877 Tavistock Lakes Boulevard, north of Tavistock Lakes Blvd, west of Lake Nona Blvd, and south of SR 417. 
 
The subject site currently provides temporary parking to existing Town Center uses in the interim before the completion of “Garage G.” The proposed temporary food and entertainment use occupies a portion of this existing temporary parking lot. Garage G will be complete prior to the development of subject temporary use. In addition to the remaining temporary parking, Garage G will provide sufficient parking supply for the anticipated parking demand.
 
The attached Exhibit A shows a development plan, consisting of approximately eighteen structures constructed using repurposed shipping containers. Most of the structures will be single-story, on-grade structures. Some structures will include a second level for seating area. Structure height will not exceed 25 feet from base elevation. The site will be enclosed by a 4 ft and 5 ft fence. Food Trucks will access the site via the existing right-in-only curbcut on Tavistock Lakes Blvd (which will become gated) and a service aisle along the north property line. Alcohol consumption will occur on-site, within the enclosed fencing, and the applicant has indicated that they are pursuing the appropriate permits to allow for this.  The proposed hours of operation are as follows:
 
  • Thursday & Friday from 3pm to 11pm;
  • Saturday from 11am to 11pm;
  • Sunday from 11am to 9pm
 
The attached Exhibit B shows images that communicate the style and amenities that will be provided at this site. These are images are inspirational and will not necessarily be included in the final plan.
