BACKGROUND:
* Applicant: Brad Dinkins
* Property Owner: B & W Land Holdings - CR LLC
* Agent: Brad Dinkins
Key Points:
The applicant is requesting to rezone a portion (3.05 acres) of parcel 2649-004-001 comprising 4.95 acres in total, from M-1, Light Industrial, to M-2, Medium Industrial, to provide a unified zoning designation for the entire property.
Zoning and Land Use Factors for Consideration:
* The subject property currently has two zoning designations. The northern approximate one-third of the property is zoned M-2 and the southern two-thirds is zoned M-1 If approved the request would rezone the M-1 portion to M-2, establishing an M-2 zoning designation across the entire parcel. The property was annexed into the City of Ocala in 1964.
* The subject property is currently undeveloped and is designated Low Intensity Future Land Use.
* The property is located within an established industrial area surrounded by warehouse distribution facilities, undeveloped industrial land, and the CSX railroad corridor.
* The subject property is under common ownership with the adjoining property to the east and the applicant has indicated their intent for this property to serve as an expansion of the existing warehouse distribution facility.
* Properties having multiple zoning designations can lead to challenges with design and site plan configuration to ensure compliance with the permitted uses and standards for each district are being maintained.
