Applicants for four related items (two pairs of land‑use amendments/rezonings) asked for time to meet with neighbors and staff. The Board agreed to continue the Green Turf Acres‑area items to the March Planning & Zoning meeting (March 17), and continued a related PUD/water‑service request involving connections to municipal utilities to April 14 so utility discussions could continue. Multiple residents from Green Turf Acres testified strongly against rezoning agricultural parcels to commercial or higher‑density uses and opposed commercial activity that they said has already occurred without permits.

One applicant—representing a B‑2 parcel where the owner had placed modular and manufactured homes and other items—told the Board during discussions that they would withdraw some applications and clear manufactured homes placed without permits. Staff confirmed that an electrical permit had been issued earlier for a 400‑amp service but that full site plan permits for display or model centers were not in place; county staff said temporary power was pulled when permitting issues were identified. Commissioners directed continued code‑enforcement attention on the agricultural parcel where the applicant had been operating and told the B‑2 parcel owner that manufactured homes sold and moved off site are not allowed under the parcel's current approvals unless an approved site plan for a model center is in place.

Board members emphasized that continuances are sometimes granted to allow applicants to meet neighbors and resolve issues but also noted they expect applicants to use the time to produce concrete solutions. The Board reiterated that commercial operations and truck yards are generally required to be located in properly zoned areas, and that model home centers for manufactured homes typically require specific site‑plan approvals.

Ending: The continued hearings will be set on the March and April Planning & Zoning agendas; staff will monitor compliance and report back. Applicants were reminded they remain responsible for complying with code while awaiting rehearing, and county staff warned that code enforcement actions can proceed if unpermitted activity continues.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Marion County - Board of County Commissioners Planning and Zoning on 2025-01-13 9:00 AM - Jan 13, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners granted continuances for multiple rezoning/land‑use applications affecting Green Turf Acres and related parcels to March and April hearings, and directed staff to enforce existing code violations where structures or uses are operating without appropriate approvals.","taxTitle","Marion County, Florida","taxId",4897,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6683973,"Commissioners approve master plan for 205‑home PUD (Longleaf Park); amenities, buffers and clubhouse added",810,3360000,4170000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2108945-0f52a996af4c761fd5ec3d5f1b9767eb&start=3360&end=4170","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2108945-0f52a996af4c761fd5ec3d5f1b9767eb/thumbnail_3360000.jpg","/articles/6683973/Marion-County/Florida/Commissioners-approve-master-plan-for-205home-PUD-Longleaf-Park-amenities-buffers-and-clubhouse-added","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6683973-29c6657ee703d045ad63f8bdeba5a4ee/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138157&Signature=I0EUHw~~CkDdIUeslXnPAWAoFsdktNersLvo25p6xvCyWYsN2-TGPk9f-geJ7Fyv-DocI78DX1W1knAfICjDvFbu7zBbXBia~UnjXXEw66CWY-5Ot0TJqzelyt7mopBvQ1kVQZcAyHf1CrhmoefxOmAKlbdAUT6Ygps8vu3jaZc0EDUeKhuqE9bF3NReSoDTwf3Dq2rkx4x4BjXNMmj68K1W8C5irWRKyq2A6YoKRYkFYhGwcHlUsRr325P2sLzz3JBhwuf4z3jHof-dw1ySn5RIHh3ZOHbWg3zXkCjtJH4~~Rl-FYEJqFssMPKsFosjElgJhGIpw~ndZiwbswu-DQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Marion County commissioners unanimously approved the master plan for a planned unit development (PUD) that will allow up to 205 single‑family homes on approximately 47.28 acres off Northwest 44th Avenue.

The applicant, represented by David Tillman of Tillman & Associates, presented renderings of planned amenities — a clubhouse, pool, pickleball courts and a playground — and said the developer met prior PUD conditions, including amenities and buffer plans discussed with a commissioner in December. Staff confirmed the final master plan met the conditions attached to the previously approved PUD; staff confirmed proposed buffers and a stormwater pond that position the development to minimize direct adjacency to existing homes to the south.

\"They wanted something that was higher quality ... they put forth a great effort to make something that looks really nice and to provide a lot for the community,\" Tillman said of the developer's approach. The plan includes a 15‑foot modified Type C buffer on the south and west sides, with an emphasis on leaving existing vegetation where possible and planting to meet county buffer criteria.

Neighbors from Quail Meadow and adjacent communities spoke at the meeting with two recurring concerns: pedestrian access or foot traffic through existing fences and the condition and maintenance of boundary fencing between subdivisions. The applicant and staff told the Board there would be no vehicular connections into Quail Meadow and that existing fencing would remain, with additional planting and the required buffer where homes will abut the PUD.

Commissioner Zallick praised the level of amenities and said the development could be a model for quality on a site of this size; Commissioner Zallick moved approval and Commissioner McLean seconded. The motion to approve the master plan passed unanimously.

Ending: The Board's approval advances the PUD toward final engineering and permitting steps; staff said the developer will return with any required final plat, site‑specific engineering and confirmations that PUD conditions (buffers and amenity implementation) are met before building permits are issued.","The Board unanimously approved a final master plan for a planned unit development of up to 205 single‑family homes on 47.28 acres, including a clubhouse, pool, pickleball courts, playground and modified Type C buffers adjoining Quail Meadow and Ocala Preserve.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6683977,"Board denies special‑use permit for commercial truck parking in Rolling Ranch area after neighbors object",4202,4197000,8399000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2108945-0f52a996af4c761fd5ec3d5f1b9767eb&start=4197&end=8399","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2108945-0f52a996af4c761fd5ec3d5f1b9767eb/thumbnail_4197000.jpg","/articles/6683977/Marion-County/Florida/Board-denies-specialuse-permit-for-commercial-truck-parking-in-Rolling-Ranch-area-after-neighbors-object","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6683977-df301b2462202a5360717aa3d342fd71/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138157&Signature=f1KeaA-VnqogLR74LRumhWgr9klVC-SB5NUimajtOfvcrZ7DrFHuKgmOqskyVa9ALpfaQhgH4lLUMo8krtrccpYJ-xsIJqicH~uwS~ed9l23hod-BEYUi8wbn6cNMX6CYtX3zTxjcC4Zy39nfit2ynDKqCQ5XoExuMqHAtHCgq9Is1i822ar4qAxFCPh3PJvJ6XV-EkGrcYC7a7VuDrHey1BvYwCkuwWqJR9FSr3l7m5f5G04MAZWc42hYVRDvMRDNyd9IgNayaRnj-aD4wxq8kE31xig-UKrFFyyDwJAqL8qPjSid3adFg~dP4zw5PWO8Ae69ih6g75FmqthiSnYg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Marion County commissioners voted unanimously on Jan. 13 to deny a special‑use permit requested by Juan Manuel Rodriguez to park multiple commercial semi‑tractors and trailers on rural A‑1 property in the Rolling Hills area.

Kenneth Odom of Growth Services presented the request and staff recommendation, saying the site is in a secluded, rural area with narrow subdivision roads that the county engineer described as substandard for regular heavy vehicle traffic. Staff told the Board the initial request for six tractor‑trailers had been reduced to four but staff was recommending denial because the number of vehicles and the road conditions were incompatible with the surrounding agricultural residential neighborhood.

The applicant, represented by translator Daniel Perez, told the Board the business is a long‑haul trucking operation and that trucks come and go infrequently; he said vehicles initially arrived while the business moved from Miami and that many disabled vehicles on the site were being removed to auction houses. The applicant said trucks would be parked only during downtime and would not be loaded, unloaded or repaired there.

More than a dozen nearby residents testified in opposition, describing ongoing noise, equipment on the roadway, loading and mechanical inspection activities on the property, dust, damage to narrow roads, and concerns about water contamination. Several adjacent property owners said they had recorded multiple violations and asked that the special‑use request be denied.

Commissioner Stone made the motion to deny the special‑use permit; Commissioner McLean seconded. The motion passed unanimously. As part of the Board'action, commissioners gave the property owner 60 days to make alternate arrangements to remove commercial vehicles from the site before code enforcement action resumes.

Commissioners said they respect the role of truckers in the economy but that land use must be compatible with neighborhood zoning and road infrastructure. Several commissioners noted that semis and heavy commercial operations are permitted in commercial zones and that applicants should seek appropriately zoned property rather than operating a commercial trucking yard in a rural residential area.

Ending: The denial was accompanied by a 60‑day period for the applicant to move vehicles; the Board and staff offered to share information on commercial properties and resources that might be available to help the applicant relocate equipment to appropriately zoned sites.","After extensive public comment and testimony, the Board of County Commissioners denied a special‑use permit request to park multiple semi‑tractors and trailers on A‑1 zoned rural property, and gave the property owner 60 days to relocate vehicles before code enforcement proceeds.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6683982,"Marion County to pursue repeal after December rezoning approved under wrong land‑use map; chair signs filing ordinance",433,2234000,2667000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2108945-0f52a996af4c761fd5ec3d5f1b9767eb&start=2234&end=2667","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2108945-0f52a996af4c761fd5ec3d5f1b9767eb/thumbnail_2234000.jpg","/articles/6683982/Marion-County/Florida/Marion-County-to-pursue-repeal-after-December-rezoning-approved-under-wrong-landuse-map-chair-signs-filing-ordinance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6683982-0d3e78237c336331dc7f52bf5f719326/orig.mp4?Expires=1771138157&Signature=fmkJoCcA8ABklTWCku8tUeGMHWXdTwB1iSxzH9nP2WOVgmJCCy3uJGc9eUCZm29ffK7zRPQwar8r9AMhutfBlwnzf9SAOA9ua3YosNpioNCH6lYyxYYVdt7m8xofErvdHPkIpgWu5kjAxz2Cv8hKeDQsc5DThaEH54nDA3iMu5nMAgEnxqITr9dDXN46ktpyks3qUK~I18RPVHE86I6J--RmtLXb6yyB-~LXjWJZir2eR-8303xFgnm0OiaztZbZtl7vdSwP1Sx~5cgidFTJihZCKHMyxXSfGWSOK3ARzpSkUH4ojbVhxJ~0cwjWrOxdp79j6Fca1GGbr4-Pxilg0w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Marion County commissioners directed staff on Jan. 13 to start the process of repealing a December 17, 2024 rezoning ordinance after staff said the Board adopted the rezoning using an incorrect future land‑use designation on the county map.

County Growth Services Director Chuck Verdin told the Board that the parcel in question had been shown as \"high residential\" on the published map but that the correct designation, adopted earlier, was \"medium residential.\" Verdin said the discrepancy dated to a 2016 amendment and a subsequent mapping error. County attorney and process advisor explained that an adopted ordinance cannot simply be \"rescinded\" and that the correct procedure is to adopt a repealing ordinance; commissioners agreed to begin that repeal process and to accept a new resubmittal from the applicant for the April application cycle if needed.

\"The board's decision on December 17, 2024 was based on inaccurate information about the underlying land use for the parcel,\" Verdin said during staff remarks. County attorney Minter told commissioners an ordinance to repeal must be adopted following the standard legislative process; he also asked the chair to sign an ordinance to be filed with the Secretary of State so an ordinance number would exist to support the repeal.

Members of the public who attended urged the Board to consider how the error occurred. Several neighbors said documentation provided to the county and the developer had shown the correct designation, and raised concerns about the effect of the error on neighborhood compatibility and traffic. Commissioners agreed the matter should go through Planning & Zoning and then the Board for a formal repeal hearing. Staff indicated a February Planning & Zoning date and a March Board date were likely for the repeal and any new application.

At the Jan. 13 meeting commissioners approved a separate motion to file the ordinance paperwork with the Secretary of State so it can be available for later repeal action and gave staff direction to process a repeal ordinance and to allow a resubmittal without an additional application fee because the error stemmed from county mapping.

The county said it will notify affected neighbors and the applicant of dates for Planning & Zoning and the Board hearings once the repeal and any resubmission are scheduled. The Board did not act on the merits of any new application at the Jan. 13 meeting.

The county will bring the repeal and any related rezoning back to Planning & Zoning and the Board in the coming months; staff gave tentative dates including a Planning & Zoning meeting in late February and a Board hearing in March.

Ending: The Board capped the procedural move by approving staff to file the ordinance paperwork with Tallahassee and by giving staff direction to process a formal repeal so the legal record will be in place when the repeal and any revised application are heard later this spring.","County staff told commissioners the Board'approved rezoning in December was based on an incorrect future land‑use map; the board authorized staff to initiate a repeal process and approved filing an ordinance with the Secretary of State to enable that repeal.","actionData","errors"]
