Consistency with Florida Statutes: With respect to the proposed annexation, Section 171.044, Florida Statutes
(F.S.), grants municipalities the authority to annex contiguous, compact, and non-circuitous territory, provided
that it does not create an enclave. The subject property is bordered on the east and south by the City's
jurisdictional limits and, as such, is contiguous to the City and does not create an enclave. Instead, it furthers
the City's efforts to reduce existing enclaves within the city limits.
Consistency with JPA Agreement: The property is located within the City of Ocoee-Orange County Joint
Planning Area (JPA) Agreement, and the proposed annexation and zoning classification are consistent with
the Future Land Use Map and the terms of the JPA Agreement.
Consistency with Adopted Comprehensive Plan: The property is designated as Low Density Residential on the
Future Land Use Map (FLUM) within the Comprehensive Plan, and the proposed annexation and rezoning are
consistent with the FLUM.
Access: Access will continue to be via East Crown Point Road.
Utilities: City water service is available from an existing 8" potable water line. However, a water main will need
to be extended to the north property line of the property, and a public hydrant will need to be installed with an
automatic flusher. The property owner's engineer must ensure that the 8” water main will have adequate fire
service to the property. If not, the property owner will be responsible for up-sizing the 8” water main.
After the annexation has been executed and recorded with Orange County, the applicant will need to begin the
design and permitting process to bring water service to the property. The water service installation for the
property will require an Orange County right-of-way permit, which will increase the turnaround time. Sewer
lines are available and would require an extension. However, the property is already served by an existing
private septic system.
Transportation: No issues are anticipated as the property is currently developed as a religious institutional use.
Stormwater: N/A
Schools: N/A
Public Safety: Fire service is available within 2.3 miles of the property and can be provided within a five (5)
minute response time. The fire flow requirements will be determined at a later time once a fire safety
City of Ocoee ▪ 1 N. Bluford Avenue ▪ Ocoee, Florida 34761
Phone: (407) 905-3100 ▪ www.ocoee.org
inspection is completed. Police service is available within Patrol Zone 51 with a three (3) minute response time
for non-emergency services.
An Annexation Feasibility & Public Facilities Analysis Report was completed for this property. See the
attached document for the completed report.
Issue:
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve the proposed ordinances for the annexation
and rezoning from Orange County A-1 (Citrus Rural District) to City RCE-2 (Rural Country Estates 2 District)
for the Showers of Grace Evangelical Christian Mission Inc. property located at 977 East Crown Point Road?
Recommendations:
Development Review Committee (DRC) Recommendation:
The Development Review Committee (DRC) met on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, to consider the application for
annexation and rezoning. Upon finding consistency with the City's regulations and policies, as well as the
terms of the City of Ocoee-Orange County Joint Planning Area (JPA) Agreement, the DRC made a
recommendation of approval for the proposed Annexation. For the proposed Rezoning, the Fire Marshal
expressed a concern about whether or not the structure/religious institution was constructed with fire sprinkler
systems installed. Thus, the DRC made a conditional recommendation of approval, requiring the submittal of
an off-site site plan permit for the extension of the water main, including a fire hydrant and flushing apparatus,
for the Showers of Grace Evangelical Christian Mission Inc. property located at 977 East Crown Point Road.
Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) Recommendation:
The Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC), acting as the Local Planning Agency (LPA), considered this item
at its July 8, 2025, hearing and made a recommendation of approval for the proposed annexation from Orange
County to City of Ocoee and a conditional recommendation of approval for the rezoning from Orange County
A-1 (Citrus Rural District) to City of Ocoee RCE-2 (Rural County Estates District) subject to the submittal of an
off-site site plan permit for the extension of the water main with a fire hydrant and flushing apparatus for the
Showers of Grace Christian Mission Inc. property located at 977 East Crown Point Road.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve the proposed annexation from
Orange County to the City of Ocoee and conditionally approve the rezoning from Orange County A-1 (Citrus
Rural District) to City RCE-2 (Rural Country Estates District) subject to the condition that the applicant/property
owner submit and obtain an off-site site plan and site work permit for the extension of the water main with a
fire hydrant and flushing apparatus for the Showers of Grace Evangelical Christian Mission Inc. property
located at 977 East Crown Point Road.
