§ 68.328. Schools.

(a)

Adequate School Facilities. In accordance with GMP Future Land Use Policy 4.1.16, and generally consistent with the location of schools shown on the Southeast Orlando Sector Plan map, residential developers shall be required to provide land, or an equivalent fee-in-lieu thereof (if allowed by the City) for public schools based on actual residential entitlements at the time of the master site plan, land subdivision or its administrative equivalent. High School and Middle School sites should be reserved; while Elementary School sites shall either be donated to the City of Orlando prior to the issuance of plat approval for residential projects, or the property owner/developer may propose alternative mechanisms for providing the required school site; however any such alternative mechanism must be approved by the City of Orlando prior to plat approval. The City supports innovative solutions to the provision of school facilities, and shall encourage property owners/developers to coordinate with Orange County School Board and/or other public and private entities to provide schools in Southeast Orlando.

(b)

Joint School/Park Opportunities. The location of existing and/or proposed school facilities should be coordinated with existing and/or proposed park sites, in order to provide for more efficient joint use opportunities, wherever possible.
