An environmental assessment is required to be submitted as part of this application unless the subject site is within the area designated as “Urbanized Disturbed” shown to the right. Areas designated as
“urbanized disturbed” are exempt from the environmental assessment requirement.
There are three levels of environ-mental assessments. Applicants may choose which level of informa-tion to submit in initial applicainforma-tions to the city, but the city shall determine if the submittal is appropriate on a case-by-case basis. The require-ments for the various levels of envi-ronmental assessment are shown on the following page.
The city shall consider the findings of the environmental assessment and shall apply the appropriate policies of the Conservation Element. Recom-mendations may include:
Protection of environmentally significant lands consistent with the applicable environmental regulatory agencies, including requiring the applicant to submit signed copies of all environ-mental permits prior to issuance of engineering permits by the City.
Require site design to minimize impact of development on envi-ronmentally sensitive features of protected wetlands and wet-lands under 0.5 acres.
Require creation of buffers and conservation easements
Request other permitting agen-cies to protect wetlands of spe-cial value to the city which may otherwise be exempt from their permitting process
Require a contribution to the Environmental Trust Fund. Such conditions shall become part of the development approval.

Revised Nov. 2013
On January 9, 2012, the Orlando City Council adopted the First Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning and Implementation of Concurrency (commonly referred to as the ILA). The ILA provides for a uniform, district-wide public school concurrency management system and includes two review proc-esses: school capacity enhancement (ILA Section 10) and school concurrency (ILA Section 18). A copy of the ILA and the school capacity/concurrency application form are available on the Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) website: ocps.net/es/legislative/governmental/Pages/SchoolConcurrency.aspx
Is the project subject to school capacity enhancement?
School capacity enhancement applies to residential projects that require a future land use map amendment or re-zoning to increase the allowable density of the project. According to the ILA, the term “rere-zoning” includes any site plan amendment that increases density beyond what is currently approved for the site. Any site that is already de-veloped or has an approved site plan must meet school capacity for any additional units being proposed.
A capacity enhancement application must be submitted to the City and OCPS prior to or along with an application for a future land use map amendment or rezoning, as defined in the ILA. A final agreement with OCPS is required prior to the adoption of the future land use and/or rezoning ordinance associated with the application. If no ordi-nance is proposed (such as for a master plan amendment to increase density), a final agreement with OCPS is re-quired prior to approval by City Council for projects that are reviewed by a City Board or by the Planning Official for projects that are reviewed administratively.
Is the project subject to school concurrency?
School concurrency applies to most residential projects. Developments that have an approved master plan showing the approximate locations and number of dwelling units and/or a minor or major subdivision plat as of September 29, 2008, are considered vested for school concurrency. Developments that meet one or more of the criteria in ILA Section 18.2 are also considered exempt from school concurrency review.
For projects that include single family lots or multifamily with fee simple lots (such as a townhome or duplex), an applicant must apply for school concurrency prior to or along with the submission of an application for a prelimi-nary subdivision plat. A final agreement with OCPS is required prior to recording the final subdivision plat and prior to issuance of a building permit.
For projects that include multifamily units on a single lot (typically apartments or condos), an applicant must apply for school concurrency prior to or along with the submission of a master plan. The City has determined that the building permit serves as the “Final Site Plan” described in the ILA. Therefore, a final agreement with OCPS is required prior to issuance of a building permit. An applicant is not required to reserve school capacity at the time of master plan approval, but it is recommended because concurrency applications expire 6 months after submittal. If a reservation is not made, and the concurrency application expires, the applicant will be required to submit a new concurrency application and obtain a final OCPS agreement prior to issuance of a building permit.
How can the number of vested units be determined?
The City determines the school capacity and concurrency vesting status for individual projects. Requests for vest-ing determinations must be submitted as a Zonvest-ing Official Determination Request to Mark Cechman, Zonvest-ing Offi-cial with a copy to Elisabeth Dang, Chief Planner. Zoning OffiOffi-cial Determination request forms are available on the City’s website: cityoforlando.net/planning/cityplanning/PDFs/Forms/Determination.pdf
Questions
For questions regarding the City’s review process, please contact your project planner, or Elisabeth Dang, Chief Planner, at 407-246-3408 or elisabeth.dang@cityoforlando.net.
For questions regarding the OCPS review process, please contact Tyrone Smith, Senior Administrator, at 407-317-3200 ext. 2898 or tyrone.smith@ocps.net.
