DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
3855 35th Street LLC., on behalf of the owner, Agri-Source, LLC., filed a rezoning application to change a ±1.6-acre portion of an overall ±36.77-acre parcel from General Agriculture (A-1) to Heavy Industrial (M-2). The subject parcel is located at 4001 NE 35th St., Ocala, FL. The intent is to rezone this non-conforming portion of land to match the rest of the parcel. The subject property is situated inside the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and is located within the Primary Spring’s Protection Overlay Zone (P-SPOZ) as well as the Silver Springs Community Redevelopment Area (SSCRA). Planning staff is recommending denial as the subject property is along a minor gateway road within the Silver Springs CRA and a new or expanding use of this type is prohibited in the P-SPOZ without additional information. Concerning the CRA, Staff finds that M-2 zoning allows for outdoor uses that are unsightly and not compatible with the goals and the overall master plan of the CRA.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
None
