Orlando City Code § 58.321 Purpose of the District.

Sec. 58.321. - Purpose of the District. The -P- district is intended to provide for the use of lands owned by any public body for Public Benefit uses, and to eliminate confusion on the Official Zoning Map as to the use and status of these lands. (Ord. of 9-16-1991, Doc. #25094)

Orlando City Code § 58.322 Rezones and Zoning Map Applications.

Sec. 58.322. - Rezones and Zoning Map Applications. Because the use of land in the -P- district is limited entirely to Public Benefit uses, the district shall be applied only to properties owned by public bodies. Rezoning to the -P- district shall only take place by initiation of the City. A public body considering disposition of a property zoned -P- should take into consideration the need to rezone the property if it is sold or donated to a private entity. (Ord. of 9-16-1991, Doc. #25094; Ord. No. 2025-12, § 3, 4-7-2025, Doc. #25040712a)

Orlando City Code § 58.323 Development Standards.

Sec. 58.323. - Development Standards. Development by a public body may have unique characteristics not typically found on other types of sites, such as a football stadium, water treatment plant, or transit station. Therefore, each development proposal must be evaluated according to its unique characteristics. A public body may submit an application for a Conditional Use (per Ch. 65 Part 2D) to address the following: • Development standards shown in Figures 1A. LDC, 1B. LDC, and 1C. LDC. • Allowable use shown in Figures 2A. LDC and 2B. LDC. • Parking requirements per Sec. 61.322. • Other requirements included in the Land Development Code as applicable. Interior renovations, improvements consistent with an approved Master Plan or Planned Development, uses that meet the definition of "light public benefit use" and other minor site improvements are permitted and not subject to Conditional Use review. In cases of uncertainty, the public body may submit a request for the Planning Official determination to identify if a Conditional Use Permit is required. (Ord. No. 2025-12, § 3, 4-7-2025, Doc. #25040712a)
