Growth Services staff explained the amendment has two parts: (1) the applicant acquired and seeks to include a 0.48‑acre parcel in the PUD; staff supports that addition; and (2) the applicant requested to shift an internal access point to use an existing platted easement (a private access path that has been paved and used for decades) rather than the earlier proposed connection through the Wawa rear parking area. Staff said county code generally avoids routing commercial traffic through residentially used parcels and recommended the commission require an access agreement from the private easement owner before site plan approval. The applicant argued the easement parcel has been used for decades, the quadplex on the lot is commercially zoned (B‑2) and the matter is primarily a private property easement issue; the applicant proposed language (condition 25) that would require an executed grant of easement or similar instrument confirming the adjacent owner’s consent before that cross access could be opened.

Commissioners voted to approve the PUD amendment, retaining staff’s requirements on improvements and public‑safety related conditions while accepting the applicant’s suggested condition that the county engineer may approve opening the cross‑access easement area after verifying a recorded grant or similar instrument of consent—rather than making site‑plan approval contingent on having the instrument before approval. The applicant said it had been pursuing contact with the easement owner and was willing to record the needed instrument; staff retained the option to require compliance before use. The developer has begun construction on the Sprouts and adjoining retail; the commission’s action adds the parcel to the PUD and clarifies the administrative steps for opening the cross‑access easement.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Marion County - Planning & Zoning Commission on 2025-04-28 5:30 PM - Apr 28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission on May 12 approved a PUD amendment to add a 0.48‑acre parcel to a commercial PUD anchored by Sprouts Farmers Market and adopted a condition requiring recorded owner consent before a private cross‑access easement can be opened for public commercial use.","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},6578735,"Commission approves townhouse‑width reduction for approved PUD in Hidden Lake area",1563,5521000,7084000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3142282-ebd9f26563358c1b9f208ae06f4769f9&start=5521&end=7084","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3142282-ebd9f26563358c1b9f208ae06f4769f9/thumbnail_5521000.jpg","/articles/6578735/Marion-County/Florida/Commission-approves-townhousewidth-reduction-for-approved-PUD-in-Hidden-Lake-area","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6578735-5093a6f73adab7110070b18e86170373/orig.mp4?Expires=1775209500&Signature=lvZbRFbmqc1eimrURONmM1qXwG-8PO97Jrqz4a1JZnNRG9ZP-E8vkMi-zIqZjpRb8-w058iK9UcTmkerNkzLrGhtbRmWlomq886gdtPi9Uy1hxn3PEwimzjj53ro5vTLDD3QuBQshUoS5GBPIXZYtG7hHOzZHdLNt1vCT5d82QoxrclEm2lNmNHwJM4Q35QNCBPVD-HUW0E2NZFT-PNO3NoPbyDkEArtUYY4f7n-YYZHVA~lSaVKcbMV9FAIX3SKQae6Q52-own~cM43QAbfTTMPlcN1dRwwDOfVf3Xj5gHA378SRBdbfeyOWN5swmeETqL96kSUDVQMz4Jf3KUsPA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Marion County Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of an amendment to an existing Planned Unit Development (Case 250508ZP) to reduce the minimum townhouse unit width from 25 feet to 20 feet.

Staff analyst Chris Rising told the commission the change is limited to the townhouse unit width and does not alter the approved project’s density, buffers, access points or overall master plan. The PUD already had approvals and statutory extensions; Rising said the proposal \"complies with the site's future land use designations\" and will be served by county utilities. The approved master plan provides an estimated amenity area of roughly 2.6 acres including a clubhouse and pool.

Applicant David Tillman, representing the developer, said the narrower unit is a standard product the buyers intend to build and that the amendment would not increase unit count or change buffering. \"All we're simply asking is... build a 20‑foot wide condo instead of a 25‑foot wide condo,\" Tillman said.

A resident who backs to the area raised concerns about wildlife and tree removal; others expressed traffic worries. The commission moved, seconded and approved the amendment; one commissioner recorded a “no” on the final motion but the measure carried.","The commission approved a PUD amendment (Case 250508ZP) to reduce the minimum width for townhouse units from 25 feet to 20 feet within an existing, approved Planned Unit Development; staff said the change does not affect buffers, density or public interest.",{"_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},6578740,"Commission deadlocks on 151‑unit Lake Louise PUD; no recommendation to county commission",2413,3216000,5629000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3142282-ebd9f26563358c1b9f208ae06f4769f9&start=3216&end=5629","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3142282-ebd9f26563358c1b9f208ae06f4769f9/thumbnail_3216000.jpg","/articles/6578740/Marion-County/Florida/Commission-deadlocks-on-151unit-Lake-Louise-PUD-no-recommendation-to-county-commission","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6578740-35d1990fe9ec496574bf42208c0d9740/orig.mp4?Expires=1775209500&Signature=FXOWF5hoSj4zFT5Qaxvj~F9Gt5lSAExfkCpMvGnoLj3wtIPouJAP~9z6Ji2207-tGTkHMFlRoZ5FSIY-ktinIqeW2KULYv3oHMq75-iN4J7OuPV1zf1mfFVVJLbDAN8ZV7krILmbN99KHYzAlKiyl9uPExas4hmpXvmPtKzPm7DBksFQJ9yGHKc-bMLNL8HvaYllwqPN0rBjLGDdAkL4OrVOYgdNu2SJ0w6na-enT09FiOIFqoP1t7TTPVxEUakmQjluvNdAxk1G21OoXsTxbCEq1~ei2kjOgyqIRRb0FT6OC2crK1hc~epFDu7eRZS0J194n6sqq9sFYC2QneECqQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning and Zoning Commission was unable to reach a recommendation on Case 250507ZP, a request to rezone 9.51 acres to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) allowing up to 151 multifamily units, after a lengthy staff presentation, applicant remarks and more than a dozen members of the public speaking against the project.

Growth Services planner Kathleen Brignoli told commissioners staff reviewed the request and identified missing information on central utilities (sanitary sewer and potable water), stormwater, and details on the project’s proposed open space and amenities. \"Based on the information that we have, staff is currently recommending denial of the project,\" Brignoli said, citing unresolved utility and stormwater questions and the need for confirmatory letters from the City of Ocala on service capacity.

Applicant counsel said the project spans both county and city parcels and that many utility questions could be resolved with letters from the City of Ocala; the applicant asked the commission to approve the rezoning subject to conditions or, alternatively, to allow the applicant to work with staff and bring the missing items to the county commission. The applicant also said the property lies in an area where the county previously amended future land use to Urban Residential.

More than a dozen residents spoke in opposition, citing traffic congestion at SW Seventh Avenue and SW 30th Street, existing stormwater and flooding downslope from the site, emergency response concerns and potential impacts on property values and schools. Crystal Holden said the current driveway-to‑intersection delay at peak times is already extensive and said she had a 21‑minute delay in one direction; Laura Robinson and others cited observed congestion and stormwater flooding on neighboring properties.

A motion to recommend denial passed 3–3 in a tied vote, producing no recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners. The case will be heard by the Board on May 19 per the schedule read into the record.","After extended public comment and staff analysis, the commission split 3–3 on a rezoning and planned‑unit development request from Lake Louise LLC for up to 151 multifamily units on 9.51 acres; the tie yields no recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners.",{"_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},6578745,"Planning commission recommends rezoning of 9.05‑acre Bellevue‑area parcel to Residential Estate",849,2121000,2970000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3142282-ebd9f26563358c1b9f208ae06f4769f9&start=2121&end=2970","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3142282-ebd9f26563358c1b9f208ae06f4769f9/thumbnail_2121000.jpg","/articles/6578745/Marion-County/Florida/Planning-commission-recommends-rezoning-of-905acre-Bellevuearea-parcel-to-Residential-Estate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6578745-4ebe570e1b272c3df2147aebd2ecc441/orig.mp4?Expires=1775209500&Signature=RhXIfe3o9exQI1UGkmCT7pjAaQYxd-s2jAyNOnXSF3o2FOyInWl~H47ryDuH2mGbTlnjfdjSczSHAOBSUcEL5fXEhB0thin2uD7X12UVdoTXD2NM5KqJazt5HU9J5j9kAmNaCTbYw5TC~tAUcIAMhnm6o1MWtO2ePc70SxE-hHAUS3wD5x2Na02TCV64UCn-lt2qbQ2B7wjvUYGznL0syegYITLCvXzDxcMZX~igdLqg9Tgf2yJFS86zBQ2THjyUXYmEamo16JybRA2pK44OttJruRmXsRw1Q0EZYP-ngxZGtOX-5sSZZlTsOat95-kq3tp-i328ZeDLSzINU3Ia0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Marion County Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval on May 12 of a rezoning request for a 9.05‑acre parcel west of the city of Belleview, changing the zoning from General Agriculture (A‑1) to Residential Estate (RE).

Growth Services planner Eric Kramer presented the staff analysis and said the property’s future land‑use designation is Low Residential, which allows up to one dwelling unit per acre. Kramer said the requested RE zoning is compatible with the Low Residential designation and surrounding large‑lot single‑family development. \"The rezoning is compatible with surrounding uses, will not adversely affect the public interest, and is consistent with the comprehensive plan,\" Kramer said.

Applicant representative Rob Batzel said the rezoning would facilitate a one‑time family division: the applicant intends to create a roughly 2‑acre home site for family occupancy and leave the remaining acreage with long‑time family owners. Batzel noted there are not central utilities at the site and that \"the maximum they could get even if they did so would be four units\" under county rules; the applicant is seeking three. Adjacent property owner and commissioner Michael Behar objected on the record, asking whether the rezoning would allow up to one dwelling per acre if the owner later sought a subdivision. Growth Services staff clarified that while the future land use allows up to one unit per acre, any subdivision to create one‑acre lots would require the full development/platting review and infrastructure (roads, utilities) and is therefore not an immediate entitlement.

Commissioner Jerry Loranko moved to recommend approval based on staff findings; the motion was seconded and carried. The recommendation will be forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners for final action.","The commission voted to recommend approval of a rezoning (Case 250506CC) that would change a 9.05‑acre parcel west of Bellevue from Agricultural (A‑1) to Residential Estate (RE) to allow a one‑time family division and an additional dwelling unit.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6578748,"Planning commission approves consent agenda including four zoning items",362,1486000,1848000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3142282-ebd9f26563358c1b9f208ae06f4769f9&start=1486&end=1848","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3142282-ebd9f26563358c1b9f208ae06f4769f9/thumbnail_1486000.jpg","/articles/6578748/Marion-County/Florida/Planning-commission-approves-consent-agenda-including-four-zoning-items","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6578748-094a2daca9871e9f82e7005ae23dbf16/orig.mp4?Expires=1775209500&Signature=fR6YLRmLma623hsDftasXH8gN5~1CQrizzBMcnL1ZhQK~aB6EbndwCERpe3bClPygZylVcZhvu6AJbCdVVYkvPpqmKgQFMKlgUit1NXP6478PCgH4z9vsgfq7XGIXgS6Kytbn7ZJCMBD94-1mw60TCkU1heseBlcTmTzSJb21ZHpgQdqfW4TyVCJswA8OquQ~A025rdf~3v4LgKQ-9cPhEkdz7KuUhOkNfG0JoastYPMgBo9Zv0yQ5cmtKouEgZ62CicvE19HWN6R94tLjweP0DarNShcltG35sL3O77dlZlpBSrN7X77VhVU6BBAL2bOuf4TSVw4xpBPiiz37apUQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Marion County Planning and Zoning Commission on May 12 approved its consent agenda, advancing four land‑use items to the Board of County Commissioners.

The consent items were: a special‑use permit (Case 250501SU) for sale and consumption of beer and wine at a full‑service restaurant at 5855 SE Fifth Street; and three zoning changes—Case 250503ZC (Sarah Muir) changing part of a parcel from Community Business (B‑2) to Agricultural (A‑1); Case 250504ZC (Billy L. Armstrong) changing B‑2 to Single Family Dwelling (R‑1); and Case 250505ZC (Gary and John Martin) changing Mixed Residential (R‑4) to Rural Residential (RR‑1) for a 4.6‑acre parcel at 1085 Southwest 100th Avenue. Growth Services staff read each case into the record and confirmed proof of publication and posting for the hearing.

The commission chair opened the floor for anyone to request an item be removed from consent; no one objected. A commissioner moved to adopt the consent agenda as read, another seconded, and the commission voted in favor. The items will be placed on an upcoming Board of County Commissioners agenda for final decision.

The commission reminded applicants and members of the public that this board is an unpaid, recommending body and that final decisions are made by the county commission on the dates read into the record.","The Marion County Planning and Zoning Commission approved a four‑item consent agenda containing three rezoning requests and one special‑use permit without objection and moved them to the Board of County Commissioners for final action.","actionData","errors"]
