in effect

Orlando City Code § 58.450 Relationship to the Growth Management Plan.

Sec. 58.450. - Relationship to the Growth Management Plan. The Urban Reserve District implements GMP Future Land Use Objective LU.1.1 to allow for the orderly and efficient growth of newer urbanizing areas, and to allow for the timely and efficient provision of urban services and facilities. (Ord. of 9-16-1991, Doc. #25094; Ord. of 3-20-1995, Doc. #28341; Ord. No. 2026-5, § 1(Exh. A), 4-6-2026, Doc. #26040612c)

Orlando City Code § 58.451 Purpose of the District.

Sec. 58.451. - Purpose of the District. The purpose of the Urban Reserve district is to provide for the proper timing and phasing of growth within the City Planning Area, by allowing limited beneficial use of lands for which development is intended, but which should be held in a primarily undeveloped state for an interim period of time. The Urban Reserve district differs from the Holding district in that the "interim period of time" of the UR district is designed to be of a longer term. The UR district is designed primarily for those properties which are not currently needed to accommodate the demand for urban-zoned land, properties with poor accessibility, and properties which cannot currently be served in an economical or efficient manner. (Ord. of 9-16-1991, Doc. #25094; Ord. of 3-20-1995, Doc. #28341)

Orlando City Code § 58.452 Rezones and Zoning Map Applications.

Sec. 58.452. - Rezones and Zoning Map Applications. The -UR- Urban Reserve district may be applied to any lands for which the City Council finds that urban land uses may be appropriate in the future, but which cannot be provided with urban services in an economical manner at the present time. 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. Allowable uses include Residential, Public, Agriculture, and Conservation. The UR district may only be applied to those properties designated Urban Reserve on the City's Future Land Use Map Series or for those properties for which a GMP amendment application is being processed to change the Future Land Use designation to Urban Reserve. Properties classified with the UR district will be held in reserve for future development until such time as adequate infrastructure is made available to serve the site, and market conditions clearly indicate the need for additional urban land.
