The first reading of proposed ordinance #2017-3 will take place at City Council on January 23rd. The ordinance would amend section 65.720, Orlando City Code, (relating to the designation of Orlando historic landmarks) to:
  1. Update the criteria for evaluation and the criteria considerations to match the standards of the federal government's National Register program.
  2. Require consent from property owners before their property could be nominated for landmark designation.
  3. Streamline the landmark review process by eliminating review by the Municipal Planning Board.
