Plans to build a new apartment building in College Park moved forward at Monday’s Orlando City Council meeting, but commissioners want the developer to make changes before it gets final approval.

The Princeton at College Park has received a lot of opposition from College Park residents. A group called “Re-think The Princeton” has gained support in the neighborhood, and tried to stop the developer from moving forward.

Dozens of residents packed the council chambers as the council talked about the plans.

As it stands now the project would have 226 luxury apartments and at its highest would be five stories tall. A developer, Pollack Shores from Atlanta, is in charge of the project.

The developers will have to go back to the table before the project moves forward. City commissioners say the development has to follow their “Vision Plan,” which was approved in 2009.

As part of the vision plan the apartment complex would have to stand 7 stories high at one point.

Those who want to see it built say it will bring more young professionals to College Park and be an economic boost, while those against it say it will increase traffic and change the landscape of the neighborhood.

Robert Stuart is the commissioner for College Park and Mayor Dyer lives in the neighborhood as well. Both support the project as long as changes are made.

“The idea that people are opposed to density is probably inappropriate when you look at where our city ought to go,” said Stuart.

Commissioner Patti Sheehan commissioner voiced her concerns over the development. She wanted to see the project slowed down because of all of the opposition to it.

“Usually if a project has this many people who are against it, especially the amount of people we have seen today, the project is appealed and it gives us time to work out the details, but this project wasn't appealed, so it puts us as commissioners in a tough spot,” said Sheehan.

The developer has three weeks to make the changes. The issue goes before council for a final vote on October 20.
