BACKGROUND:
• Petitioner: CHI Ocala Rancho, LLC
• Property Owner: CHI Ocala Rancho, LLC
• Agent: Paolo Mastroserio, Mastroserio Engineering
The petitioner is requesting to rezone the subject property from No Zoning & B-5, Wholesale Business District, to PD, Planned Development for the future development of 468 multi-family residential units, commercial and retail mixed-uses.
The associated PD Plan is currently undergoing its third staff review cycle. The PD Plan is proposing commercial uses along the frontage of West Silver Springs Boulevard and will consist of a maximum of 5.54 acres. The multi-family residential portion will be located to the rear and consist of approximately 24.58 acres.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
• The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Employment Center Future Land Use classification and land development regulations.
• The proposed rezoning is consistent with the requirements Section 122-940 - 122-949 regarding the Planned Development zoning requirements.
• Per Objective 12 of the Future Land Use Comprehensive Plan, adequate public facilities will need to exist to service the proposed development. Adequate facilities exist within a 1/8-mile radius.
• The commercial portion of the PD along SR 40 provides a transition and buffer to the proposed multi-family residential to the north.
• Staff has proposed conditions of approval to provide further mitigation to support the compatibility of the proposed multi-family portion of the PD to the surrounding commercial and industrial uses in the area.
Staff is recommending approval with the following five conditions:
1. Revision of the 25-foot setback to a 25-foot landscape buffer.
2. Replacement of vinyl coated chain link fence with an opaque 6-foot fence.
3. Explicitly restricting access to one point of ingress/egress onto State Road 40/West Silver Springs Boulevard by including language on the PD Plan and in the PD Standards Book.
4. Removing the inclusion for the potential for single-family residential development on Page 5 of the PD Standards Book.
5. Bringing all nonconforming uses, including but not limited to single-family residential and agricultural uses, into compliance within no less than one year of approval of the PD rezoning by City Council.
