ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 Orlando city commissioners approved the master plan for the Pulse memorial on Monday, moving the project forward at the site of the demolished nightclub on Orange Avenue.<\/p>\n
The memorial is intended to honor the victims and survivors of the Pulse nightclub shooting, which happened in June 2016.<\/p>\n
The plan includes a visitor building, a small structure for private gatherings and parking.<\/p>\n
It also calls for a memorial, healing garden and reflection pool.<\/p>\n
City officials said the approval is one step in the process, with additional votes and requirements still ahead.<\/p>\n
The city still needs engineering and building permits for the project.<\/p>\n
It also must replat the property, which means adjusting the property boundaries because the site combines three properties.<\/p>\n
Officials said earlier this year that the memorial is scheduled to be completed in Fall 2027.<\/p>\n
