From the Orange County Newsroom
Orange County is introducing Vision 2050, a new comprehensive plan for smart, thriving and healthy growth in our region. This initiative will guide how and where growth will occur over the next three decades.
Beginning in December 2020 and extending into 2021, the Orange County Planning Division will host three separate series of virtual town hall meetings aimed at informing the public about the Vision 2050 initiative and gathering invaluable public input.

Additionally, the Planning Department has launched three online visioning surveys: (1) Your Vision and Evaluation of the Current Plan, (2) Your Policy Priorities and Your Neighborhood and (3) Planning Priorities that can be accessed at ocfl.net/Vision2050.
The community’s engagement in this critical planning process will help Orange County shape its plan for how the Central Florida Region will grow.
To register for any of the town hall meetings or participate in any of the three online surveys, visit: ocfl.net/Vision2050
During the initial virtual town hall series, Planning Division staff will provide an overview of the countywide Vision 2050 framework and describe the tools used to reflect the unique characteristics and diversity of each Market Area outlined by the Planning Division.
This Plan includes a public engagement process focusing on environmental preservation, community character and public spaces as guiding principles for future development.
The Vision 2050 will be implemented through the adoption of a new Land Development Code – the Orange Code—which will focus on placemaking standards and context-based regulations. This type of Form-Based Code relies on development characteristics that are desired rather than what communities seek to avoid.
