Mr. David Suellau was present to speak in favor of the request and said he did not have any specific tenant in mind, but the building has been empty for two years and he felt he would have a better opportunity to lease if it were zoned GC -2. He said there are no plans for additional building as there is no space. There was no one to speak in opposition. After discussion, Mr. Barks moved to recommend approval. Mrs. Roberts seconded. The next item for discussion was a conditional use of a home occupation, telephone service only, for Protectors Security, located at 2425 Lake Ave. in the SR -1 zoned district, represented by Thomas A.

He said the handicap parking spaces would be changed to 12' x 20' and the internal landscaping be put on the site plan to comply with the Zoning Inspector's comments. He said the papers are being drawn up for the purchase of the property for the parking lot, and the loan from the bank has been verbally confirmed and they have 25% of the amount in cash for a down payment. He said they are planning to build • steel frame building and will need an extension of the conditional use for • church at the present site, 1016 French Ave., for at least 6 more months. He said they have checked on alternate meeting places and the rental fees are too high to allow them to pay the rent and build at the same time.

Ms. Rogers asked the board to consider the zoning in the area on the west side of 17 -92 from Airport Blvd. to Lake Mary Blvd. in the area of Harcar, Inc. and determine if a change in zoning would be in order.
