Step One with the City of Lake Worth is to determine whether we are even allowed to put a school in the church...whether this is in compliance with the city's zoning code. If there wasn't some record of an approval for a school, then we would have to pay $1550 for a Special Land Use Aprroval, and go before the city's Zoning Board to request this.
But lo and behold, in going through the building file for the church yesterday at the city's offices, I found a letter dated September 12, 1979 from the city's Zoning Board of Appeals notifying the church of unanimous approval for a day care center. There is also correspondence in the file from 1980 referencing a school that was meeting at the church, called the Troywood Videam School.
So, things look very good. We don't know for sure yet. But it sounds like the city may be ok with a school returning to Calvary United Methodist Church. The next stop then would be the building department. I expect some snags there, or challenges, as we may have to make changes to parking spaces and doors to comply with city codes. That could get pricey.
