Ocoee City Commission approves church school plan

The Ocoee City Commission approved Oct. 6 clearer language that sets timetables for construction and removal of six portable buildings at an Ocoee church.

Iglesia Cristiana Sendero De Luz Church will have five-and-one-half years to begin construction on a permanent building to house its school. This is an amendment to July 1, 2014 special exception

Under the special exception, the church must remove three of the portables once it begins construction on a building, which should take place seven years from the date of the original exemption. Once construction begins, the church will have 18 months to complete it. At completion of construction, the remaining three portables must be removed.

The commission approved a subdivision plan for the Ocoee Pines Planned Unit Development, located northwest of Clarcona-Ocoee Road and southeast of the Forest Lake Golf Course. The plan includes 278 residential single-family lots on 101.53 acres of land. Ryan Homes and Surrey Homes will be the home builders.
