Orlando City Code § 58.331 Purpose of the District.

Sec. 58.331. - Purpose of the District. The -H- district is intended to provide for the proper timing and phasing of growth within the metropolitan area, by allowing limited beneficial use of lands for which future development is intended, but which should be held in a primarily undeveloped state for an interim period of time. (Ord. of 9-16-1991, Doc. #25094)

Orlando City Code § 58.332 Rezones and Zoning Map Applications.

Sec. 58.332. - Rezones and Zoning Map Applications. The -H- Holding district may be applied to any lands which the City Council finds should be held in a primarily undeveloped state for an interim period of time, pending future development. The district may also be applied to lands which should be preserved primarily for agricultural or open space use for an indefinite period of time. The -H- district may be classified as a Residential, Office, Commercial or Industrial zoning district. Where property is zoned or rezoned to -H- subsequent to the effective date of this section, such classification shall be made during the zoning or rezoning process. The classification shall be based upon and consistent with the Growth Management Plan land use designation for the property. Where the land use designation would permit zoning districts from two (2) or more zoning district classification categories, the classification shall be based on the zoning classification(s) of adjacent land and the ultimate use and zoning classification of the property. Where property is zoned -H- as of the effective date of this section, the property owner may seek a Planning Official's Determination to establish the zoning district classification for the property. The classification shall be based on the criteria set forth above and shall be processed in accordance with the procedures set out in Chapter 65.
