§ 68.326. Where Civic Uses and Public Facilities Standards Apply.

Civic facilities and amenities are fundamental elements of all communities. The placement of civic buildings constitute the framework of each Town, Village, Neighborhood, and Residential Center. Parks and plazas provide a public focal point for each neighborhood and commercial center and should be placed in central and core locations to serve as public activity areas. The Southeast Orlando Sector Plan shall strive to place these uses in appropriate locations in each residential center for the greatest visibility, accessibility, and utility. Civic facilities can include both public and quasi-public uses such as daycare, postal services, community facilities, and other uses.

The Southeast Orlando Sector Plan shall provide a full and equal level of community facilities and services for all areas of the community. The City shall ensure that the provision of facilities is planned for in advance, rather than left to chance, so the quality of community facilities and services is not reduced and the fiscal integrity of the City is promoted. This shall include storm drainage, utilities, library services, police and fire services, and other similar city services, as well as services or facilities which are not provided by the City, such as schools. The Mixed-Use and Commercial Building Standards previously described in this Part shall also apply to building design and site planning issues related to civic uses.
