Municipal Planning Board

The MPB conducts public hearings to review and report recommendations to the City Council on the following matters: proposed plats for the subdivision of land, boundaries of zoning districts and appropriate regulations and amendments thereto, conditional use applications and plans, master plans, planned developments, expansions of non-conforming uses, public benefit uses, annexations, abandonment, appeals of Planning Official Determinations and Developments of Regional Impact. The Board also reviews and makes final recommendations to the City Council concerning recommendations on development orders by the Downtown Development Board, Historic Preservation Board, Board of Zoning Adjustment, and other boards, wherever the development order involves recommendations from more than one board.

The Board also serves as the Local Planning Agency for the City of Orlando. As the Local Planning agency, the Board conducts the comprehensive planning program and prepares the comprehensive plan or elements or portion thereof for the City of Orlando; coordinate said comprehensive plan or elements or portions thereof with the comprehensive plans of other appropriate local governments and the State of Florida, recommend said comprehensive plan or elements thereof to the City Council for adoption, monitor the effectiveness and status of said comprehensive plan and recommend to the City Council changes in the Comprehensive plan from time to time; and consider whether proposed development orders are consistent with the goals and policies of the adopted Growth Management Plan and make recommendations based thereon to the City Council.
