City Centre And It's Controversial 645 sq ft Outdoor Cafe Not Discussed at Aug 10th Orlando City Council Meeting
Due to two appeals from St Lukes Cathedral and Kisimul Holdings LLC of Windermere in regards to the Municipal Planning Board's approval of the 28-story City Center and it's controversial 645 square ft outdoor cafe, the August 10th Orlando City Hall meeting did not consider the topic as a point of discussion.
The cafe would be built on Lake Eola Park property as part of a rental agreement.
St Lukes Cathedral stated during the July 21st Municipal Planning Board meeting that they opposed the project as long as it encroached on the deeded City property. The part of the park the developer wants to put his outdoor cafe on just happens to have been deeded from St Lukes Cathedral to the park (city). In the deed, it states that no commercial activity can take place on this land. The developer's outdoor seating area would clearly be commercial use. But, it would be available to the public and remain public property.
According to City Council Member Patty Sheehan, this appeals process can take several months and the council cannot consider it until the quasi judicial process has run its course.
