OCALA’S RELEVANT STRATEGIC GOALS:
Quality of Place.
PROOF OF PUBLICATION:
N/A
body
BACKGROUND:
• Applicant: Dessiree Troncoso (Anna Jo Partnership, LLC)
• Property Owner: Anna Jo Partnership, LLC
Key Points & Concurrent Applications:
PD24-45706 has been submitted along with a PD Standards Book to allow for development consisting of multi-family, single-family, and townhomes which also includes the existing Timberland Apartments.
PD Plan and Standards Book Details:
The associated PD Plan depicts development in three phases. The development proposes 459 units which includes the existing 42 multi- family units within the Timberland Apartments. Proposed amenities include a 3,600 square foot clubhouse and pool and 2,400 square foot community building. The proposed permitted residential uses include single-family detached (Courtyard Home), single family detached (Cottage Home), single-family attached (townhomes), and multi-family dwellings. The PD plan indicates that thirty-seven-point nine percent (37.9%) of the gross acreage will be preserved as open space, and at least ten percent (10%) will be preserved as aggregate open space. Additionally, a reserved 40-foot-wide buffer is depicted along the southern property line for the future east/west connection.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
• The proposed rezoning is consistent with the proposed Medium Intensity/ Special District Future Land Use classification pursuant to Code of Ordinances Section 122-244.
• The PD Plan is consistent with the minimum standards for a PD District (Section 122-942), with exception to the following:
o Requested variation to the required alternate fencing material. The PD Standards Book proposes a 6-foot vinyl fencing with 10’ landscaping buffer.
o Requested variation to the 30- foot alley right-of- way width. The PD Plan and Standards Book proposes 20-feet alleys, some with street parking.
o Requested variation to the parking requirements of one- and one-half spaces per unit for single family attached homes. The PD Plan and Standards Book identifies that there will be one off street parking per unit with on street parking options.
• The proposed rezoning is compatible with the surrounding development, the Comprehensive Plan, and the City’s Code of Ordinances.
• Adequate public facilities exist to service the proposed development.
• The PD Standards Book includes information that should not be included as PD standards such as application materials, traffic study information that will need to be revised upon approval of a final traffic study, and other information and documentation not related to Standards of the PD. The PD Standards Book should be revised for consistency with Section 122-943.
Staff Recommends: Approval with the following conditions:
• The PD Standards Book and Plan be updated prior to City Council hearings to provide compliance with Section 122-943.
