4 Previous Actions 1886: Southwestern portion of the property platted as part of W. G. White s Addition to Orlando. 1922: Lots 1-11 of W. G. White s Addition acquired by City and replatted for park purposes. 1924: Property north of and including W. Central Blvd. platted as lorna doone park Subdivision (plat later aban- doned by Orange County in 1958 in favor of a replat approved by the City in 1945). 1987: Eastern portion of property (between S. Rio Grande and Nashville Aves.) acquired by the City; Conditional Use Permit (CUP) approved for Phase I park improvements (new restrooms). Project Context The property is currently zoned H (Holding) and is designated Public-Recreation-Institutional on the City s Future Land Use Map.

5 Adjacent uses, zoning and future land use designations are per Table 1 below. Conformance with the LDC The upland portion of the property is acres (647,737 sq. ft.), with another acres of lake /water (listed as sub-merged lands under State ownership). While the property is irregularly shaped, there are no minimum lot size re-quirements under the proposed P (Public Use) zoning. Thus, the parcel conforms to applicable Land Development Code (LDC) criteria. Master Plan Criteria (LDC Section ) Zoning Map Amendment (LDC Section ) The Municipal Planning Board and City Council shall consider the following factors in their review of Master Plan and rezoning applications: 1.

6 Purpose and Intent. The purpose and intent of the use and all other requirements of the LDC. 2. Growth Management Plan (GMP). The consistency of the proposal with all applicable policies of the City's adopt- ed GMP. 3. Changed Conditions. Whether and the extent to which land use and development conditions have changed since the effective date of the existing zoning district for the property in question. 4. Use and District Requirements. The proposal must conform to the requirements of the zoning district in which it is located and, where applicable, to the requirements of LDC Chapter 58 for the particular use or activity under con-sideration.

7 5. Performance and Design Regulations. The proposal must conform to all applicable performance and design regula-Table 1 Project Context - Adjacent Properties Future Land Use Zoning Use North Public-Recreation-Institutional (PUB-REC-INST) and (Across W.

Public Facilities and Services. Will necessary public facilities (both on- and off-site), such as transportation, sanita- tion, water, sewer, drainage, emergency services, education, recreation, etc.

9 Be adequate to serve the proposed use. Conformance with Growth Management Plan (GMP) and Zoning As previously noted, the property has Public-Recreation-Institutional future land use, and is currently zoned H (Hol-ding). The existing and continued use is a public park , which necessitates the need to rezone the total property to P (Public Use). Within that zoning category, parks are considered a Public Benefit Use and typically require a Condi-tional Use Permit, but if considered a passive park , then they are a permitted use. In that the proposed improvements are part of a multi-phased park plan, a Master Plan (rather than a Conditional Use Permit) is being requested.

10 Development standards for Public Benefit Uses are determined at time of CUP or Master Plan review. The existing lorna doone park is primarily a passive park but contains a lighted multi-purpose playfield, basketball and tennis courts, a picnic area, a playground and public restrooms. Proposed park improvements include the following: 1. Walking Loop encircling the entire lake lorna doone 2. Barrier-Free Playground (existing, with upgrades proposed) 3. Community Garden 4. Water Spray park 5. Basketball Courts (existing, possible upgrades) 6. Futsal Court 7. Outdoor Exercise Equipment 8. New Parking and Restroom Facilities on east and west sides of the park 9.
