§ 61.250. Purpose of Streetscape and Pedestrian Street Requirements.  


Latest version.
  • Streetscape and Pedestrian street requirements are established to provide systems of pedestrian-oriented streets, walkways and open spaces of high quality; to beautify streets and create a sense of orientation for the street user; to protect, maintain and enhance the integrity of historic districts and features; and to promote continuity and compatibility among private and public developments.

    Streetscape and Pedestrian street requirements also implement the design principles of the Downtown Growth Management Plan and apply these principles to other areas of the City, to link major open spaces through landscaped streets or walkways; to incorporate isolated open spaces into a coherent pattern; to "green" the Downtown and to incorporate the Orlando imagery of water and foliage into these areas.

    The pedestrian circulation system and open space system are closely linked, and are complimentary to the Major Thoroughfare Plan set forth in Chapter 61, Part 2B.
