BACKGROUND:
• Applicant: Iron Horse Communities, LLC
• Property Owner: Ocala Royale RV Resort, LLC
• Agent: David Tillman, Tillman & Associates Engineering, LLC
• The subject properties operated as a nonconforming mobile home park until 2019, ownership changed in 2019 and the park was demolished by 2021.
• It is the petitioner’s intent to develop the subject property as a Recreational Vehicle and Boat Storage Facility, an outdoor storage location.
• Pending the approval of COD23-45160, the City’s initiated code amendment to allow recreational vehicle and boat outdoor storage in M-2 and M-3, this use will be permitted by right.
• Due to the proximity to B-2, Community Business, zoning to the north, the M-2 use will be required to have a 25-foot-deep landscaped buffer or a 10-foot landscaped buffer combined with a stone, brick, or concrete block wall separating the two uses.
Planning & Zoning Commission recommended approval by a vote of 4-0 at the May 8, 2023, meeting.
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: The M-2, Medium Industrial, zoning district is consistent with the Employment Center future land use classification. The proposed zoning is consistent and compatible with the surrounding area.
