Body
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Fred N. Roberts, Jr. Esq., of Klein and Klein, PA, filed a small-scale comprehensive plan amendment application on behalf of Oak Run Associates, LTD [Steven Miller, President, Development & Construction Corporation of America (DECCA), as GP of Oak Run Associates, LTD], to change a ±9.13 acre site from High Residential (HR) to Commercial (COM). The Parcel Identification Number for the property is 7000-000-000; the site addresses are 11437, 11517, 11621, 11637, and 11641 SW 90th Terrace, Ocala, FL 34481, within the Oak Run Development of Regional Impact (DRI), adjoining Neighborhood 8-B. The Oak Run DRI identified the site as an initial site support/construction yard that would then be occupied by commercial uses upon completion of development. The 2013/2014 Comprehensive Plan Update inadvertently identified the site as High Residential rather than Commercial, which was overlooked by staff due to the scale of the map update. This Amendment Application is proposed in order to correct the land use designation to reflect the site's originally authorized use. An Amendment is necessary in order to formally adopt the correction to the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map by ordinance.
The site is located in the Urban Growth Boundary, in the Countywide Secondary Springs Protection Overlay Zone (S-SPOZ), and in Marion County's Oak Run SW Regional Utility Service Area.
No letters of opposition or support have been received to date.
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the request as it resolves the site’s inaccurate land use designation to reflect the Oak Run DRI's original plan of development as approved by Marion County. The site is part of the UGB, and functions to separate the area from a larger Commercial designated node to the west. The request is consistent with Land Development Code Section 2.3.3.B, which requires amendments to comply and be consistent with the Marion County Comprehensive Plan as well as the provisions of Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, be compatible with the surrounding uses, and not adversely affect the public interest.
