body
BACKGROUND:
* Petitioner: City of Ocala
* Property Owner: City of Ocala
* Agent: City of Ocala
The subject property, identified by Parcel Identification Number 21512-000-00, is owned by the City of Ocala and contains approximately 7.8 acres. The property is undeveloped and was annexed in 2006. The citywide comprehensive plan update was adopted in 2013, and the future land use was changed from Retail Services to Low Intensity.
* There is a concurrent application (ZON24-45741) to rezone the property from B-4, General Business to G-U, Governmental Use to allow for the future development of Fire Station 8.
The requested Public future land use classification allows a maximum intensity of 0.15-floor area ratio.
The Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval with a four to zero vote at their August 12, 2024, meeting.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS:
The proposed future land use change for the subject properties is compatible with the surrounding properties and consistent with the proposed city use of the property as a municipal emergency service location (fire station).
Adequate public facilities exist to service the subject properties. The proposed future land use change will not adversely affect the community's health, safety, convenience, prosperity, or general welfare.
Staff recommends approval.
