The subject property is located at 2094 NE 33rd Lane, Ocala, FL 34479. The Parcel Identification Number for the subject property is 24286-02-059.

This variance request is associated with Building Safety’s permit number BLDR-26-04-10884 for new construction of a detached single-family residence. The County approved a building permit site plan showing a 19.3-foot rear setback. The single-family residence was approximately 85% through construction when the applicant (who is also the surveyor for the property) acknowledged that the rear setback was encroached by approximately 0.7 feet.
