BACKGROUND:
• Applicant: BAB Quality Homes, LLC
• Agent: Davis Dinkins
• Property Owner: L&V Sutton Investments, LLC & Martin Okonkwo
• This property is located at the southeast corner of SE 30th Avenue and SE 18th Street.
• The applicant has indicated the intention to build a multi-family housing development.
• Due to the lack of residential in the immediate area, development on this parcel will pose minimal impact on surrounding properties. In addition, there is a deficit of multi-family in the region. This development would help meet that need.
• The properties have good access to Maricamp Rd.
• The future land use classification on this property is Low Intensity. The R-3 zoning district is compatible with this land use.
o Low Intensity permits up to 18 dwelling units per acre.
o R-3 permits up to 50-foot building height.
o Architectural Review will be required.
• The Ocala Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval by a 6 to 0 vote.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
The R-3 zoning district is consistent with the Low Intensity future land use classification and with the surrounding area. Staff recommends approval of the requested zoning designation.
