2. Ordinance 2019-07 — Orange Blossom Gardens Chapel of All Faiths, Ince. — Small Scale Future Land Use Map Amendment request from Lady Lake Recreation to Lady Lake Religious Facilities for property being approximately 0.076 Acres of Land Owned by The Villages Center Community Development District; Addressed as 1401 Paradise Drive, Portion of Land Referenced by Alternate Key 3750047, Within the Orange Blossom Lake County, Florida (Wendy Then)
Senior Planner Wendy Then presented the background summary for this agenda item (on file in the Clerk’s Office), including maps and photographs of the subject property. She stated the applicant is present.
Chairperson Sigurdson asked if the church building has a different zoning designation.
Ms. Then explained that the church building is zoned Religious Facilities and the subject parcel is owned by the Villages Center Community Development District (VCCDD) and is zoned Recreational. If the church purchased the parcel from the VCCDD, they would not be permitted to expand for actual church use and the church could utilize the parcel for recreational purposes only. By amending the zoning to Religious Facilities, the church can proceed with applying for permits in the future.
Chairperson Sigurdson stated there is a lot of property to the northwest and asked if this, too, is zoned Recreational.
Ms. Then replied this will be addressed in Ordinance 2019-08. She stated the parking area is owned by the VCCDD and there is an agreement between the church and the VCCDD for the church to use this area for parking. The parking area adjacent to the church also has a future land use zoned Recreational. She stated that the parking lot itself does not require a future land use designation of Religious Facilities to be used as parking; however, any future land use by the church requires the zoning change from Recreational to Religious Facilities.
Chairperson Sigurdson asked if there were any further questions or comments. Hearing none, he asked for a motion.
Member Rohan made a motion to forward Ordinance 2019-07 to the Town Commission with the recommendation of approval. Member Conlin seconded the motion. The motion passed by the following roll call vote:

Senior Planner Wendy Then presented the background summary for this agenda item (on file in the Clerk’s Office). She stated the applicant is present.
Chairperson Sigurdson clarified that the parking area around the church building does not belong to the church. Therefore, the subject parcel is the only area that the church can utilize for expansion.

Chairperson Sigurdson asked if there were any further questions or comments. Hearing none, he asked for a motion.
