Banning After-Hours Downtown Orlando Clubs is Goal of City's Nightclubs Task Force

The City of Orlando has a Nightclubs Task Force for Downtown Orlando. It was created after an after-hours nightclub opened in our Downtown prompting City Council to place a moratorium on after-hours clubs and appointed the Nightclubs Task Force to research these types of establishments and present findings of fact to City Council. The after-hours club that opened prompting the afterhours moratorium has since closed, leading the Task Force to believe these types of establishments are not currently in demand from residents.

At the Monday, August 29, 2016 City Council meeting, the Nightclubs Task Force will recommend revisions to City Code that will prohibit afterhours clubs. 

In addition, the Task Force believes afterhours nightclubs could place additional strain on our public safety resources, cause additional noise impacts and create additional pressure on City resources.

At Mayor Dyer’s direction, the Task Force will continue their work as it relates to looking holistically at the City of Orlando's nighttime economy and come back to City Council in the coming months with recommendations on how we can continue working with the industry to diversify our nightlife offerings, improve safety, cleanliness and overall experience for our residents and visitors.
