BACKGROUND:

                     Petitioner:                                            Alfred Joseph Flechas, Jr. 

                     Property Owner:                     Alfred Joseph Flechas, Jr. 

 

                     Annexation has been requested to obtain city services and will be considered on the same agenda with the land use change.

                     Low Intensity land use is requested. The public hearing regarding the land use change is scheduled for the same agenda as the annexation petition.

                     The surrounding area is a mix of uses but predominantly single-family residential with adjacent undeveloped land with office and office park zoning.

                     New development will be subject to a zoning designation, site plan approval and building permit issuance by the City of Ocala if annexation occurs.

                     Upon annexation, it is appropriate to adopt a City land use category. A separate zoning application will be submitted in the coming months. 

                     Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval by a vote of 6 to 0 at the July 11, 2022, meeting.

 

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:

The requested Future Land Use Category of Low Intensity is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Approval of the requested land use is appropriate. Staff recommends approval.
