Notably, there is an agenda item for the "Dog Park at the Grove Project" awarded to APD Construction, LLC, and an award to Starr Mechanical, Inc. and Climate Control Mechanical Services, LLC for HVAC Mechanical Services. The document also details numerous special event permits for various locations and dates, which may involve temporary structures, vending, alcohol, and amplified sound. Additionally, it includes information on a "Finding of Necessity" study for an expansion area adjacent to Camping World Stadium, which identified blight conditions and the necessity of redevelopment. A "Downtown Outlook Plan Amendment" is also presented, updating the Community Redevelopment Area Plan. The City Council/CRA Workshop reviewed an Amendment and found conformity with the GMP. The City Council is requested to approve the 2026 Plan Amendment, adopt a Resolution, and authorize the Mayor/Pro Tem and City Clerk to sign it, along with authorizing staff to correct scrivener and formatting errors. Separately, the City Council is requested to approve an Ordinance and authorize the Mayor/Mayor Pro Tem and City Clerk to execute it regarding the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Trust Fund. This amendment updates references to the Downtown Orlando Community Redevelopment Plan to include the 2026 Plan Amendment and provides for the deposit of incremental revenues generated within the 2026 Expansion Area into the Trust Fund, anticipated to be $0 due to the Expansion Area being publicly owned. Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) submitted comments regarding the proposed Finding of Necessity and Blight Resolution for the expansion area adjacent to Camping World Stadium, expressing no opposition but requesting confirmation of coordination with OCPS to avoid adverse impacts on school operations, clarification that publicly owned school properties are not characterized as blighted, inclusion as a stakeholder in planning efforts, and reservation of rights. OCPS also submitted comments on the DTO Outlook Part III (2026) Plan Amendment, requesting coordination with OCPS regarding redevelopment activities impacting student safety and traffic, coordination on infrastructure and growth considerations affecting student population, inclusion as a stakeholder, and transparency regarding funding. OCPS also commented on the Proposed Trust Fund Ordinance Amendment (Ordinance No. 2026-7), expressing concerns about the use of pooled increment revenues for projects in the expansion area which is not expected to generate increment revenue, the lack of a funding nexus, and potential future fiscal impact, requesting transparency, equitable allocation mechanisms, and safeguards. Multiple individuals submitted requests to address the City Council on April 6, 2026, on various topics including affordable housing, homelessness, real estate sales, disability issues, warehouse conversion, and opposition to proposed ICE detention facilities/centers in Orlando and Lake Nona.
