1. Second Reading: Comprehensive Plan Update
Winter Park city commissioners approved a comprehensive plan update – revising a document that outlines the city’s goals and direction for years to come. The comprehensive plan covers everything from transportation to development throughout the city. Some of the proposed revisions include the city creating a “mobility plan” that takes into account residents who walk and bike throughout the community. The tentative comp plan now puts a greater emphasis on planning, funding and constructing a network of bike trails and facilities. As for future land use, the comp plan defines a new district surrounding Winter Park Memorial Hospital that will be known as the Medical Arts District. The comp plan prohibits any residential uses other than nursing homes and memory care facilities from being built in that district.
2. Action Item Requiring Discussion: Community Paramedicine Program
Winter Park also approved a 6-month pilot program for a new Community Paramedicine Program. The program would strive to give better treatment to residents who frequently contact the fire department for their medical needs. Residents who call 911 frequently will be educated by a full-time civilian paramedic on how to properly take medication, fill oxygen tanks or whatever needs they may have, including how to find home care services from outside entities.
