Board of County Commissioners Regular Meeting · 2026-04-28 · agenda_item

The Sumter County Board of County Commissioners is considering the revocation of a special use permit for Sts. Joachim and Anna Orthodox Church, located at 1961 CR 246S in Oxford. This action follows an inspection that found violations, including an RV used as a residence and accumulated trash. The church has requested a hearing to address these issues and has submitted documentation of corrections. The Board will hold a public hearing on April 28, 2026, to consider the revocation. If the permit is revoked, it would also affect an amendment for a cemetery and playground. This process is currently under review, with a hearing scheduled to determine the outcome. Depending on the Board's decision, potential work could involve site cleanup and compliance measures. Contractors and suppliers involved in site maintenance, waste removal, and potentially construction or landscaping for future approved uses could be impacted. Engaging early allows businesses to understand the project's status and potential needs.
