BACKGROUND:
• Applicant: MBDT Holdings, LLC
• Property Owner: MBDT Holdings, LLC
• This property is located at the northwestern corner of the intersection of NE 10th Street and NE Ninth Avenue, with adjacent parcels zoned RO, Residential Office and INST, Institutional.
• The parcel was sold as surplus property by Temple Beth Shalom of Ocala, Inc., to the current owner in September 2021.
• The current owner wishes to construct a single family or duplex residence on the property, but those uses are not allowed in the INST zone. As the property is less than 30,000 square feet in area, it may only be zoned to the adjacent RO zoning district which will allow a single family or duplex residence.
• Once rezoned to RO, any permissible use could be proposed for development. Uses allowed in the RO zoning district generally generate a comparable number of trips when compared to the uses allowed in the INST zone.
• All development in the RO district is subject to an architectural review that ensures the structure matches the character of the surrounding residential districts.
• The above-stated factors make the site a viable location for residential office, single family, or duplex development allowable in the RO zoning district.
• The future land use classification on this property is Neighborhood, which allows up to 5 units per acre for single family residences, up to 12 units per acre for multifamily development, or up to 0.25 floor area ratio (FAR) for commercial development.
• The Ocala Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval by a 7 to 0 vote during their February 14, 2022 meeting.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
The RO zoning district is consistent with the Neighborhood future land use classification and with the surrounding area. Staff recommend approval of the requested zoning designation.
