Discussion: Mr. Fred Roberts (agent), 40 SE 11th Avenue, Ocala, FL, said when the project was approved a land use policy was adopted that required improvements be made and the development agreement is related to the traffic improvements. Karen Fleetwood, 3140 SE 1st Court, Ocala, FL, asked about the entrances to the complex, the traffic, and the total of units. Mr. Roberts responded the access will be centrally located for the units and limits the number of access points on 7th and 32nd. The PD plan is a two phase plan. Phase I is a multifamily project that consists of 326 units. It will be developed once approved; and access will be to 7th and 32nd. The master plan will come back for the next project, which will be part of a PD plan approval and will limit access points on 7th and 32nd. The number of cars was addressed by the traffic study per the land use policy. There are 1,146 units across the entire acreage, but there are only 326 units that are currently approved through the PD plan. Mr. Kesselring asked staff to give Ms. Fleetwood a copy of the plans; so that she can understand where the access points are located. Ms. Hitchcock said she would give Ms. Fleetwood her card, so they can review the plans and answer her questions.

Code Amendment COD23-45160 / Recreational Vehicle and Boat Outdoor Storage Attachments: Staff Report Ordinance draft Map Ms. Hitchcock displayed maps and photos of the property and adjacent properties to the audience while providing staff comments and the findings of fact. Discussion: Mr. Lopez asked if there were any stipulations for securing the property. Ms. Hitchcock said M-2 and M-3 does not need to be screened or secured. Mr. Kesselring asked if screening was required from the roadway. Ms. Hitchcock said not in the M-2 or M-3, but they will have the 5-foot landscape along the roadway with a 4-foot perimeter open space. Mr. Kesselring said he did not agree because this is different than outdoor storage and some buffer requirements should be there. Mr. Rudnianyn asked if you can have outdoor storage as an accessory use and have a self-storage facility that is 60,000 square feet, and small parking in those other zones. Ms. Hitchcock said what staff has seen in some of the neighborhood storage facilities is internal, because there are limited parking spaces for RV's cannot be seen by public right of way and there are buildings in between those storage spaces. Mr. Rudnianyn asked about the primary times of access is not that important because they are in industrial zones that are 24-7. Ms. Hitchcock agreed. Mr. Rudnianyn said if there was a less intense property adjacent, then more buffering should be required. Ms. Hitchcock said yes the M-2 would be adjacent to the B-2 and would need 25-feet with a landscape buffer or 10-feet wall. Mr. Kesselring said his concern is the roadway. Ms. Hitchcock asked what size of buffer Page 4 of 5 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes May 8, 2023 he suggested. Mr. Kesselring said a 5-foot buffer is nothing. Mr. Adams asked what buffer would be required in front of a car dealership, or RV dealership. Ms. Hitchcock responded 5-feet with hedges and small trees. Mr. Adams asked if a RV dealership can be in a M-2 zone. Ms. Hitchcock said no, it would be B-5. Rob Batsel, (attorney) 1531 SE 36th Ave. Ocala, Fl., said that he was there to answer any questions Jon Harvey, 1720 16th Ave, Building 100, Ocala, FL., Tillman & Associates Engineering, LLC, said he understood Mr. Kesselring's point, but it is M-2 Zoning and will probably be an Industrial area. Motion to approve a request to allow Recreational Vehicle and Boat Storage as a permitted use in the M-2, Medium Industrial, and M-3, Heavy Industrial zoning districts.
