BACKGROUND:
• Petitioner: Juan Manuel Vasquez
• Property Owner: Hanimi Challa
• The subject property is undeveloped and is located within the West Ocala CRA. The subject property is directly adjacent to B-4 zoned properties, which are currently developed with a motel and restaurant; the B-1A zoned parcel to the south is under the same ownership as the restaurant and developed as a parking lot.
• It is the Petitioner’s intent to develop the subject property with multi-family residences. The Petitioner has submitted a separate application on the subject property for a Special Exception to allow for a multi-family use (up to 14 dwellings at a density of 26 dwelling units per acre); which was conditionally approved by the Board of Adjustment on September 18.
• The Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously voted to recommend approval at the September 11 meeting.
