The committee formed by the Ocean Park Civic League has postponed meeting to review the rezoning and Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application for Assembly Use of the Ocean Park Baptist Church. The project will go before the Planning Commission on August 14 so the committee will meet closer to that time to be certain they have the latest information. Last week Mr. Dubay presented the project to the Bayfront Advisory Commission. He addressed known concerns: hours of operation, noise/parking/traffic management strategies, and the proffers that have been volunteered for the Conditional Rezoning. If there are other concerns that the committee should consider, please contact President Danny Murphy.
On a warm Tuesday evening, Derek and Hayden Dubay presented information about their OP Baptist Church restoration project at an Open House Meeting held at the church with the Church Trustees in attendance. The DuBays presented additional information about parking, noise, the constraints they will put in place on the events to be held there and also provided more background about why they undertook this project. They related their efforts to find a church or a school that could operate under current zoning but for most cost would be prohibitive. Since that option is not viable, they are planning a small event venue. The meeting was well attended and many concerns were voiced and discussed.

Are you aware that the Title of this post is very misleading and sending the wrong message? It is not a restoration. It is a request to change the zoning of the property to become a “Business” inside our neighborhood essentially affecting our privacy, property values, peace and tranquillity. Ocean Park residents need to understand the consequences no matter what their address is.
