Repealed by citywide referendum March 11, 2025 (54.51% to repeal, 2,479–2,069). Ordinance 3230-22 had been unanimously adopted by City Commission January 12, 2022 with a 30-month grace period. Operating hours provision (still-extant general code): 7am–6pm Mon–Sat, noon–6pm Sun. Ordinance 3292-24 (April 24, 2024) placed the ban on the March 2025 ballot and delayed implementation until June 1, 2025 pending the vote.
The only GLB ordinance in the state survey series to be overturned by popular vote. Sen. Jason Brodeur (SD 10, includes Winter Park) explicitly cited the ordinance as the motivation for his 2024 preemption amendment; he labeled it "preposterous" and called municipal GLB regulation "virtue signaling." After Brodeur's February 6, 2024 preemption threat, Winter Park Commission voted 3–2 on February 1, 2024 to delay penalty enforcement until January 2025. March 11, 2025 referendum turnout ~21% of registered voters.
