§ 38-1651. Intent and purpose.

The intent and purpose of the U-V urban village district are as follows:

(1)

To encourage the type of development that was common before 1940, and that is most often found locally in that portion of the City of Orlando known as the Traditional City;

(2)

To create a village-like setting with a sense of community which features a mixture of housing types and densities focused around a village center that contains neighborhood retail uses, convenience goods, personal services, office uses, public uses, and a village green;

(3)

To ensure the village center is at a scale and relation which is attractive to pedestrian and bicycling activity as well as at a density which makes transit a viable alternative to the automobile;

(4)

To locate the village center within walking or bicycling distance to all of the residential units;

(5)

To ensure the availability of transit stops at the village center to provide an opportunity for alternative forms of transportation; and

(6)

To encourage the location of government branch offices (such as libraries, civic centers and post offices) within the village center for convenience and to encourage multipurpose trips.
