City of Orlando Metropolitan Planning Board Meeting – Tuesday, February 17, 2015Important Message to all Lake Formosa Neighborhood Residents…
Inverlad submitted an official application for the Ivanhoe Place development to the City of Orlando on December 22, 2014. This project will be reviewed at the February 17, 2015, City of Orlando MPB meeting. The plans have been considered sufficiently complete for review and the project was placed on the agenda for the February meeting. Because Inverlad is proposing an abandonment of a road (specifically Alden Road), there are two items for the MPB to consider: 1) the proposed road abandonment and 2) the proposed mixed-use development.
