Local developer Tim Green has filed paperwork with the City of Orlando to build a new 38-story tower at 1000 W. Pine Street [GMap], in the heart of the Parramore neighborhood, just west of the Inter&Co Stadium.
The project calls for a new hotel to occupy an estimated seven stories of the building, with roughly 120 rooms. Green is hoping to get approvals for the project through the Live Local Act, by including multi-family and affordable housing units in the plans, which also call for a nine-floor parking garage, and 10,000 SF of meeting space.
The “Kelly Tower Hotel” project is scheduled to be voted on by the Municipal Planning Board on May 21, and is marked by staff to be denied. Courtesy notices have been mailed to property owners within 300 feet of the proposed project.
What does it mean to be “marked by staff to be denied”? Is this already being denied by the city council before it even goes up for vote?
Staff sends reports to the respective boards set to vote on things with their recommendations. Their recommendation for this project is for it to be denied. It’s up to the board to decide on their own what to do with that information.
Shame. Gentrification. All of a sudden the drainage will be installed. Street lamps be installed. Parks and eating establishment will follow. Maybe a few hand picked low income (10) resident will be used for window dressing.
If they are meeting the Live Local Act criteria, does it matter what the city says?
