Title
250703ZC - Justin & Katelyn Kardell, Zoning Change from Neighborhood Business (B-1) to Single-Family Dwelling (R-1), 0.51 Acres, Parcel Account Number 1507-004-000, Site Address 1701 NE 60th Street, Ocala, FL 34479
Body
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Staff recommends approving the rezoning of a ±0.51-acre property at 1701 NE 60th Street, Ocala (Parcel ID: 1507-004-000), from Neighborhood Business (B-1) to Single Family Dwelling (R-1). The property, owned by Justin and Katelyn Kardell, lies within the Urban Growth Boundary and the Primary Springs Protection Overlay Zone but outside the Farmland Preservation Area. Its Medium Residential (MR) land use designation supports single-family development, aligning with Future Land Use Element Policy 2.1.18. The current B-1 zoning is inconsistent with nearby residential uses. Rezoning to R-1 will reduce land use conflicts and support county planning goals. Staff found no adverse impact on infrastructure or public services and confirmed the change meets Marion County’s Comprehensive Plan objectives. Approval is recommended for its consistency with county policies and public interest.
