Background:
The Applicant is seeking approval of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan (PSP) for the Tuskawilla United Methodist Church property on 5.35 acres. The site has a Low Density Future Land Use designation, which permits up to four (4) dwelling units per net buildable acre, and is zoned A-1 (Agriculture).
The PSP proposes two (2) lots; Lot 1 is approximately 2.94 net buildable acres and will contain the existing Tuskawilla United Methodist Church, Lot 2 is approximately 2.41 net buildable acres and will accommodate a daycare facility. The Applicant has submitted a request for a special exception for the existing daycare use on Lot 2 and is waiting to move forward with the special exception process until the Preliminary Subdivision Plan has been approved.
Both proposed lots meet the minimum required lot size of one (1) net buildable acre in the A-1 zoning district. Each newly created lot will have access through a private seventy-five (75) foot wide ingress/egress easement that has public access onto Red Bug Lake Road.
The existing church on Lot 1 is required to provide eight-three (83) parking spaces but currently has only thirty-one (31), resulting in a deficiency of fifty-two (52) spaces. Lot 2 contains a total of eight-four (84) parking spaces, while the daycare center operating on the lot is only required to maintain sixty-four (64), leaving nineteen (19) surplus spaces. To address the parking shortfall, the church and daycare center property owners have entered into a Shared Parking Agreement. The agreement allows the church to use fifty-four (54) parking spaces on Lot 2 on Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. for church services, enabling the church to meet its full parking requirement.
The PSP complies with all the conditions of Chapter 35 of the Seminole County Land Development Code. All internal roads are private, and Seminole County is the utility provider for water and sewer.
Requested Action:
Staff requests approval of the Preliminary Subdivision Plan for the Tuskawilla United Methodist Church Subdivision containing two (2) lots on approximately 5.22 acres zoned A-1 (Agriculture) located on the south side of Red Bug Lake Road, west of Dodd Road.
