Timucua White House Gets Parking Help from City


The Timucua Arts Foundation (Website) hosts over 70 musical concerts and other arts related activities and events per year, the majority of which are free and open to the public at it's "White House" venue at 2001 Hamilton Lane  (MAP). 

According to the City, the foundation’s activities at the White House provide a community service consistent with the Cultural Arts Element of the City’s Growth Management Plan by fostering a rich cultural life, accessible to all residents and visitors, through the provision of high quality cultural opportunities by local arts organizations.

Owner Benoit Glazer requested a conditional use permit (CUP) to allow a public benefit use consisting of the art Foundation’s activities at the White House and on April 19, 2016 the Municipal Planning Board (MPB) of the City recommended approval of the request. 

On May 23, 2016, City Council approved MPB’s recommendation and granted the CUP, subject to certain conditions, including the condition that a formal long term parking agreement be obtained to provide parking for events at the White House in compliance with the City’s Land Development Code.

The City owns a surface parking lot adjacent to Wadeview Park at 2177 S Summerlin Avenue
Orlando, FL 32806 (MAP) and has agreed to enter into a Parking Agreement with the Foundation pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Parking Agreement for Wadeview Parking Lot. 

The Foundation will have limited and non-exclusive use of the Wadeview parking lot and there will be no fee charged to the Foundation or its guests attending functions at the White House. 

 The term of the Agreement will be three (3) years commencing on August 1, 2016 and ending on July 31, 2019 and may be extended for two (2) additional terms of three (3) year each.

The parking spaces within the Wadeview Parking Lot will be available for the parking needs of TAFI, guests and invitees from 6:00 PM to 11:00 PM on Sundays as scheduled in advance by the TAFI with the city, except that should the city need to use any of the spaces during such time for a public event, city will provide a minimum of five days’ written notice thereof to TAFI, and upon such notice being given the parking spaces shall not be available for use by TAFI during that time period. 

TAFI may use the parking spaces at days and times other than set forth above, provided that such spaces are available and that TAFI provides the CITY with at least five (5) days prior notice of its desire to use such spaces for a function at the Property allowed by the CUP.
TAFI will pay the CITY a $500 security deposit for the performance of all obligations of TAFI under this Agreement.
