Mandarin space to be occupied by Mormon temple was originally slated to be 60-home development

It’s been a few days since the city of Jacksonville approved a $27 million permit for a new 29,000-square-foot temple for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Mandarin area.  But Councilman Michael Boylan, who represents the Mandarin area, noted that the property was originally slated for a 60-home development, and that many residents actually felt relieved when the plan shifted to a single temple, easing concerns about traffic and density.
