Commission approves small‑scale land‑use amendment to create one lot inside Country Club of Ocala
Summary
The board approved a small‑scale land‑use amendment July 15 to change a 0.62‑acre portion of an existing private golf‑course parcel inside the Country Club of Ocala from rural land to medium residential, allowing a replat to create one residential lot; Planning & Zoning had recommended approval.
The Marion County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved July 15 a small‑scale land‑use amendment to change a 0.62‑acre portion of a parcel inside the Country Club of Ocala from rural land to medium residential. The change allows the applicant to replat a segment of a privately owned golf‑course tract into a single residential lot.
County staff and Planning & Zoning recommended approval, saying the proposed medium residential land use matches the subdivision’s existing pattern and the proposed replat is consistent with county plan policies. The applicant’s agent said the lot is a portion of a previously established golf course tract and that the proposed lot size is commensurate with recent replats approved in 2021. Commissioners voted 5–0 to adopt the amendment.
What happens next: The applicant must complete a replat process to create the new lot and follow standard permitting for any construction; because the property is inside the county’s primary springs protection zone, staff noted enhanced septic requirements will apply if the lot develops outside utility service.
Why it matters: The action is a local land‑use cleanup and matches earlier County Club replats approved by the county; it creates a single residential parcel consistent with the neighborhood pattern and received no major opposition.
