Below is a concise summary of formal actions recorded on the transcript, listing each item, the action and key details.

Key outcomes (motions adopted May 6):
- Annexation (City of Orlando enclave): Approved. Staff said the property is inside the urban service area and the interlocal agreement would be executed if the board approved the annexation. Motion passed unanimously.
- DP2410242 — Silver City Properties, Lot 4 Phase 1 (Student housing development plan): Approved unanimously. The development plan allows a 182-unit, 580-bedroom student housing development with 6,103 sq ft retail (phase 1 of a multi-phase plan); staff recommended consistency with the comprehensive plan.
- LUP2412293 — Share the Care (Wymore Road) PD rezoning: Approved unanimously with a staff condition that, upon site-plan submission, staff evaluate the feasibility of restricting right turns from the site onto Houston Road (see separate article for discussion and neighbor concerns).
- LUP2412298 — Grace Fellowship Planned Development (15.39 acres east of 4-C Road): Approved unanimously. The PD consolidates existing church uses and proposes a larger sanctuary and counseling center; staff reported the request would make zoning consistent across the site.
- LUP2411264 — Hibiscus Springs PD (rezoning to PD for up to 30 attached single-family units): Approved unanimously; applicant agreed to reduce maximum units to 5 during review in related hearings and staff recommended consistency with the comprehensive plan.
- LUP2412297 — Fenton Street PD (3.2 gross acres; limited to 5 attached units): Approved unanimously; staff said wetlands on the south end render part of the lot conservation and the PD would limit development to upland areas.
- LUPA20411268 — South Goldenrod Townhomes (PD addition; add two parcels to PD and increase units): Approved unanimously; staff recommended consistency with comprehensive plan and existing PD standards.
- Administrative and zoning housekeeping: The board also adopted staff-initiated etext and map amendments, including establishing the Kilgore Road rural residential enclave (adopted) and revisions to the Lake Pickett study-area mapping and policies (adopted). The board adopted a countywide rural boundary and rural-area map (Map 5b) under the charter-authority requirement (adopted).

Continuances and tablings (board set new dates):
- Grand Cypress Resort PD amendment (addition to overall PD program): After discussion, the maker of the motion withdrew it and the board agreed to continue the item to May 20 to allow further discussion with the district commissioner and staff (continuance adopted unanimously).
- CDR24-05130 (Amendment to the Orange Wood PD): Continued to June 17 so related plan amendments can be considered concurrently (continuance adopted unanimously).
- H12 (small-scale amendment referenced in staff packet): Continued to June 3 (motion passed unanimously).

How the board voted: For items that recorded votes on the transcript, results were unanimous (\"motion passes and it is unanimous\"). For the items continued the board approved continuances without recorded opposition.

Where to find details: Each approved development will still require detailed engineering and site-plan approvals at the development-review (DRC) stage before building permits are issued. Several approvals included conditions (for example, Share the Care PD includes direction to staff to study a right-turn restriction) and those conditions will be enforced in later reviews.

The motion passed unanimously after public comment from neighbors and a discussion about traffic, notice and stormwater.

What was requested: The applicant sought rezoning from PO (Professional Office) to PD to allow a 7,713-square-foot building with office and adult day health uses and four code waivers (reduced front/setback, reduced building-base landscaping and other standards) to make the proposed layout and vehicle access work on the site.

Neighbors’ concerns: Four residents spoke at the hearing. Madeline Fosmo said the neighborhood was not adequately notified of earlier notices and expressed concerns about increased traffic, drainage and impacts to the sidewalk and running routes. Frederick West, an adjacent property owner, and John Mitchell and Leon Huffman raised questions about the proximity of the building to existing structures, the size/capacity of the center and the predicted traffic impacts. Huffman asked repeated technical questions including, \"what is the proposed and legal client capacity of the center? Is it 20 people, 50 people, a hundred people?\" (public comment transcript). Staff and the applicant responded with project details.

Applicant response and conditions: Share the Care representatives said the center would be licensed based on usable client-service square footage and stated the developer anticipates a maximum of 25 clients per day at the proposed facility and hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.; the director said clients generally attend for the full day. The applicant acknowledged concerns about right-turn movements onto Houston Road and agreed to consider operational controls; staff proposed a draft condition requiring that \"upon submission of site plan, staff shall evaluate the feasibility of a restriction of right turns from the site onto Houston Road\" (proposed condition 15). The board included that condition before voting.

Board action: Commissioner Simrad moved approval consistent with staff recommendations and the move passed unanimously after a brief discussion about notice and stormwater review. Staff noted the request establishes zoning; detailed engineering on stormwater and final drainage will be reviewed at the site plan stage.

Why it matters: Neighbors objected largely on traffic and notification grounds. Staff and the applicant said the proposed adult day center is a use allowed in office zones and that the PD route is being used to secure site-specific waivers so the nonprofit can build a facility designed to serve caregivers and older adults. The new condition directs staff to examine limiting right turns as a traffic-management mitigation when the site plan is submitted.

Ending: The board approved the PD with the staff-drafted condition to evaluate right-turn restrictions; final design details, stormwater engineering and any additional traffic mitigation will be addressed at DRC/site-plan review and through any conditions implemented at that stage.

","The board approved a plan-development rezoning to allow a new Share the Care adult day center on Wymore Road, with waivers for setbacks. Neighbors raised strong concerns about traffic, capacity and notice; the board added a condition directing staff to evaluate restricting right turns onto Houston Road.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":44,"_45":90,"_47":91,"_49":50,"_51":92,"_53":93,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":94,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":95,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6559388,"Orange County holds first public hearing on Orange Code and Vision 2,050; staff, schools and residents press for details",120,120000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3206703-918ad7b76d0b71a22d58fe0c2595c49d&start=0&end=120","/articles/6559388/Orange-County/Florida/Orange-County-holds-first-public-hearing-on-Orange-Code-and-Vision-2050-staff-schools-and-residents-press-for-details","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6559388-a1296645f1263422fa86acbcc9d5ada9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770505302&Signature=CGBtRpTz-Ei~D3Bz48z2WdXvQ8DEu7iuRu9LbuE~nk1X4q3MJfn2i3c09V4tAwURQtLlqjTEGOaCsw7tzXuHDSKksefxeUBVb0ZjTFllwK9yTxoYX9cmf7o-2~WvaykemGJO~CPAZ0RxIm1nNPICWj79CrxjEaOXoVo8EMBmgwdd7bbjcTcJK2CSAOkVM-Sx~UjNN35Hrtb6fH7I~RauS5ImQBUN5pj6EhOXJH96f4wDbNAhTPUnwS39iIVtubeOxgnQp3l0sz8aNbX8gKvUeVnooLcWdfEwY4t11dWjy-EFfBVOezPeT5aNNv9tWYPm~k~lSS7xMAQye3Tx~uf2JA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Orange County planners and community members spent the May 6 meeting reviewing a set of four draft ordinances that together implement a new zoning and land-development code (\"Orange Code\") and the Vision 2,050 update to the county comprehensive plan. Staff described the session as the first of two public hearings and said the board will consider final adoption at its June 3 meeting.

The county's planning manager, Alberto Vargas, framed the package as a coordinated update to a 68-year-old zoning code intended to implement a smart-growth vision for the county. \"This is the first of 2 public hearings,\" Vargas said, adding that the proposed rules replace use-based zoning with form- and place-based standards, increase predictable design standards, and create new review pathways.

Why it matters: County staff said Vision 2,050 and Orange Code are intended to focus growth in areas where infrastructure already exists, protect rural and environmentally sensitive areas, expand housing options near jobs and transit, and simplify and clarify development standards countywide. Staff warned that the change will affect how permit applications are reviewed: projects submitted after an effective date will be reviewed under the new rules. A notice on the county web site explains that applicants who want review under the existing rules should submit and achieve sufficiency before Orange Code becomes effective.

Key presentations and next steps: Jennifer Moreau, zoning manager, described the code structure (zones and transect-style districts, a condensed use table, and parking and civic-space standards). Planning administrator Nick Thalmuller summarized process changes, including separate tracks for \"small\" rezonings versus \"large area\" rezonings and a new master-plan process for larger, mixed-use projects. Thalmuller also described a new \"density-activation\" flow the county and Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) developed for projects in the plan's targeted sectors; that process routes proposals through an early capacity determination with OCPS and identifies options — mitigation, phasing, alternative agreements or a board-level exception — if school capacity is constrained.

OCPS and public comment: Dr. Anna Díaz, president of the Orange County Association of School Administrators, thanked the county for keeping the school district \"at the table\" during code development and urged continued coordination on school capacity. A wide range of residents and community groups spoke during the public comment period: the county's Sustainability Advisory Board voiced its support for the package, and numerous residents, student advocates and climate and housing groups endorsed the plan as an opportunity to increase walkability, housing availability and climate resilience. Others asked staff for refinements: residents near established subdivisions and planned developments sought guarantees that older neighborhoods and existing PD entitlements would be protected and asked for stronger protections for civic open space, tree canopy and stormwater in areas with known drainage concerns.

What the board did: No decision was taken tonight; staff said the package will return for a combined hearing with the Vision 2,050 plan on June 3. Staff provided a draft schedule that calls for the ordinances to become effective about 40 days after a final adoption vote.

Ending: Vargas asked commissioners and the public to use the remaining weeks before June 3 for focused conversations, particularly on school capacity and a small number of neighborhood protections, so staff can bring clarified language back to the board. \"We want to make certain that this works for everyone in our community,\" he said.

","The board heard staff presentations and public comment on a package of four draft ordinances implementing a new land-development code (\"Orange Code\") and the Vision 2,050 comprehensive-plan update; staff said the package will return for final adoption June 3 and go into effect about 40 days after adoption.","actionData","errors"]
