Council adopts comprehensive‑plan amendments to extend horizon to 2050 and add resilience uses
Summary
Oviedo City Council adopted Ordinance 17‑60 updating the comprehensive plan’s planning horizon to 2050, clarifying primary/secondary land uses, allowing floating solar and resiliency facilities in specified designations, and aligning transportation concurrency language with the mobility plan.
The Oviedo City Council voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance 17‑60, the evaluation and appraisal‑based amendments to the city’s comprehensive plan. City planning staff said the package updates the planning horizon to 2050, clarifies primary versus secondary permissible uses, and adds statutory uses such as floating solar and resiliency facilities to certain future‑land‑use categories.
Dr. Correa, who presented the amendments, told council the state reviewed the transmittal and returned an objections‑recommendations‑comments report; staff revised the plan to respond and to move the planning horizon out to 2050. "By doing that...we got the number of 55,753 [for 2050]," she said, explaining the updated population projection and how the change affects capacity analysis.
Other changes include removing references to concurrency in the transportation chapter to align with the city’s adopted mobility fee framework, updating the capital improvement schedule and extending green‑building ordinance dates in the housing element to comply with state timelines.
After the presentation and a public hearing with no speakers, the council called the roll and the ordinance passed by unanimous vote.
The ordinance is now adopted and staff will implement the mapping and policy edits described in the packet; the council noted the state’s review produced only comments rather than noncompliance findings.
