BACKGROUND:

                     Petitioner:                                           Ocala 42nd Street Residential, LLC

                     Property Owner:                      Ocala 42nd Street Residential, LLC

                     Agent:                                                                W. James Gooding III, Gooding & Batsel, PLLC

 

The subject properties and the property to the southwest were annexed into the city in 1989. Several zonings and land use designation changes have occurred since annexation. In 2011 the zoning was changed to PUD-07 and development of the Publix anchored shopping center commenced in 2013. Phases 2 and 3 of the PUD, which includes the property under consideration, remained undeveloped.

 

After a pre-application meeting with staff, the petitioner moved forward with the required neighborhood meeting in October 2023, seeking to amend the previous PUD approval. Following that meeting, the applicant submitted an application for staff review, which subsequently went through three rounds of review.

 

The property has vested transportation concurrency from an approved Chapter 163 Development Agreement, which allotted the development with 474 multi-family residences, 30,000 square feet of office space, and a previously developed shopping center. This application proposes an increase in building height and approximately 54 additional dwelling units (six multi-family units and 48 townhomes). Due to the requested increase in density, an update to the traffic study will be required prior to site plan approval.

 

The Planning and Zoning Commission met on July 8, 2024, during which time city staff presented and the applicant’s agent made a brief presentation indicating that they had met with the neighboring El Dorado Homeowner’s Association. The association president was present at the meeting and spoke in support of the proposed development, expressing satisfaction with the petitioner's willingness to work with the property owners to the north. The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend approval of the rezoning request.

 

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: The requested PD, Planned Development, is consistent with the comprehensive plan and the Low-Intensity future land use classification and will not adversely affect the health, safety, convenience, prosperity, or general welfare of the community.

 

The proposed Planned Development (PD) zoning, plan and standards book are compatible with the surrounding area and land use.

 

Staff recommends approval.
