§ 58.341. Purpose of Activity Center Districts.

AC-N Neighborhood Activity Center District. The AC-N district is intended to provide for concentrated areas of neighborhood-serving commercial, office, residential, recreational and cultural facilities, at intensities compatible with surrounding neighborhoods. Although some Neighborhood Activity Centers may be composed of a single type of use, a mixture of land uses is specifically encouraged. These activity centers are intended for locations where arterials and collectors are available, providing convenient access to the surrounding neighborhood.

AC-1 Community Activity Center District. The AC-1 district is intended to provide for concentrated areas of community-serving commercial, office, residential, recreational and cultural facilities, at higher intensities than in surrounding neighborhoods. Although some Community Activity Centers may be composed of a single type of use, a mixture of land uses is specifically encouraged. These activity centers are intended for locations where a combination of arterials and four lane collectors and mass transit service are available, providing access to other activity centers and surrounding neighborhoods.

AC-2 Urban Activity Center District. The AC-2 district is intended to provide for concentrated areas of residential, commercial, office, industrial, recreational and cultural facilities serving major subregions of the Orlando urban area, and at intensities significantly higher than in surrounding neighborhoods. Although some Urban Activity Centers may be composed of a single type of use, a mixture of land uses is specifically encouraged. These activity centers are intended for locations where arterials and four lane collectors and mass transit service are available, providing access between metropolitan subregions and complementing the primary arterial transportation system.

AC-3 Metropolitan Activity Center District. The AC-3 district is intended to provide for large concentrated areas of residential, commercial, office, industrial, recreational and cultural facilities at a scale which serves the entire metropolitan area, and at the highest intensities to be found anywhere outside of Downtown Orlando. A mixture of land uses is specifically intended—Metropolitan Activity Centers composed of a single type of use shall be strongly discouraged. These activity centers are intended for locations where arterials and four lane collectors and mass transit service are available, providing access to other metropolitan areas.
