One lot(PIN 9844395355) <br /> is owned by Orange County and is presently vacant. The other three lots (PINs 9844395355, <br /> 9844399372, and 9844493122) are owned by OCS and are the location of both Efland-Cheeks <br /> Elementary School and the Efland-Cheeks Community Center & Park. The Efland-Cheeks <br /> Community Center is owned by Orange County and operated by United Voices of Efland Cheeks <br /> under a license agreement. Efland Cheeks Park is operated and managed by Orange County. <br /> Both the community center and park exist via a long-term land lease from OCS. <br /> Orange County and OCS wish to recombine the three OCS-owned lots to resolve legacy <br /> nonconformity issues related to property lines and building footprints, with the goal for the <br /> elementary school campus to be located on a single lot. <br />
