What this case is

Master plan. A master plan lays out the overall design of a larger project on land that already carries the zoning for it: buildings, access, parking, open space and phasing. It is reviewed against the rules that already apply rather than changing them. Approval of the master plan is a site-design sign off. Final site plans, plats where land is divided, and building permits follow.

Who decides what on this record:

Municipal Planning Board (MPB). Orlando's planning board. It holds the public hearing on this request and takes a vote. For this kind of request the board's vote is the approval. No City Council ordinance is needed.
