City of Ocala / COD24-45660 Attachments: COD24-45660_Memo Ordinance draft_COD24-45660 redlined Ordinance draft_COD24-45660 clean 10-Year List of Rezonings (M-1 to M-2) 10-Year List of Public Hearing Requests for Additional Outdoor Storage Senior Planner Emily Johnson displayed a map and code amendments while providing staff comments and the findings of fact. Mr. Lopez asked why the 10,000 square feet was included as a default instead of 20%. Ms. Johnson replied 30% is currently allowed in the gross floor area of the primary building or structure up to 10,000 square feet. The calculations are 10,000 square feet is 20% of a 50,000 square feet property. The City wants to ensure that properties smaller than 50,000 square feet which have gone through the site plan process asking for outdoor storage wouldn't create any non-conformities.
