SUBJECT:
Title
25-L05 - EAR-Based Comprehensive Plan Amendment, Large-Scale Text Amendment to Amend the Marion County Comprehensive Plan After the Evaluation and Appraisal Report
Body
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
In 2024, Growth Services Staff worked with their consultant, Kimley Horn, to complete the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) with a Data Inventory Analysis. The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment is the result of the EAR process. This is the Planning and Zoning Commission Hearing. The Board of County Commissioners’ transmittal hearing is scheduled for December 17, 2025, at 9:30 a.m.
Staff recommends APPROVAL of the request because it will update the Marion County Comprehensive Plan as the County looks forward to the 2050 Horizon and is consistent with the provisions of Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, and will not adversely affect the public interest.
