deseret ranches:
Orange County Sector Plan

Orange County, FL

A private landowner in the Central Florida region has retained Renaissance to help create a 100-year vision for long-term development, consisting of a transit-oriented city, several mixed-use employment centers, and walkable urban neighborhoods (collectively called “placetypes”) that are all fully integrated with a network of urban parks and preserved open spaces.

This project involves the creation of master plans, conceptual transportation system plans (including light rail and bus rapid transit), design guidelines and the development of a Comprehensive Plan amendment. The project incorporates the fundamental principles of new urbanism grounded in a sound multi-modal transportation plan. It also calls for major open-space networks and green infrastructure throughout the site, maintaining almost 40% of the total land area for preservation.

The resulting development vision calls for transit-oriented town centers vertically integrated with high-density residential, commercial, and retail. It also includes traditional urban neighborhoods, civic features, and urban parks.
