Description
PRIME OCALA INFILL DEVELOPER OPPORTUNITY: 15 TO 20-UNIT RESIDENTIAL SUBDIVISION (R-3 ZONING) Capitalize on a high-yield infill residential development opportunity inside the City of Ocala limits. Situated on 14.09 wooded acres at NW 35th St, this parcel carries favorable R-3 (Multiple Family Dwelling) zoning, making it an ideal canvas for a builder or developer seeking a residential subdivision, townhome enclave, or duplex community. The 15-Unit "Path of Least Resistance". According to Seller: Municipal planning feedback confirms that a 15-unit single-family or single-duplex subdivision represents the most streamlined development pathway. Under City of Ocala standards, layouts containing up to 15 total units are permitted using the property's primary 70-to-75-foot access corridor off NW 35th Street as a single point of ingress/egress. By maintaining underlying R-3 zoning and designing single-family homes or single duplexes per lot (10,000 sq. ft. lot size / 100 ft. frontage for duplexes), development proceeds under Chapter 114 Subdivision review. This avoids Chapter 122 commercial site plan reviews and allows individual home builds to move directly into standard residential building permit processing once platted. 20-Unit Potential via West Property Line Egress. For developers looking to maximize density, a 20-unit layout is proven . City records highlight a 2014 previously approved 20-lot site plan on this parcel. Expanding from 15 to 20 units triggers a secondary emergency access requirement. Rather than utilizing secondary public roads, this can be satisfied via a soft-fence emergency connector along the West property line to the adjacent townhome development, subject to arrangement with the association developer. Streamlined Municipal Approval Timeline Developing within existing R-3 zoning yields major speed-to-market advantages: No Rezoning Friction: Utilizing current R-3 zoning avoids rezone friction and eliminates mandatory newspaper notices or 300-foot neighbor notification mailings. 2025 Florida Statutory Update: Take advantage of recent legislative updates removing public hearing requirements for Final Plats. Final plat reviews are now administrative, operating under a 7-working-day initial city review window upon submittal. Infrastructure & Site Specs Unlike rural tracts in Marion County that depend on well and septic systems, this parcel features reported public water and sewer utilities near the parcel edge-dramatically reducing upfront utility capital expenditure. Usable Area & Elevation: ~8 buildable acres at a high 58-foot elevation, with the balance serving as natural buffers or open space. Roadway Waiver Design: Proposed street plans utilize a 60-foot ROW with roadside percolation swales rather than standard curb and gutter. Predictable Tree Mitigation: Calculated at 4 shade trees per buildable acre (~56 total replacement trees). Merchantable timber pines do not count, and City code imposes no grandfather tree preservation mandates. Strategic North Ocala Location. Located moments from top schools, established neighborhoods, and Ocala's expanding industrial/logistics employment corridor, this infill tract commands strong end-user demand. Offered at $699,000 (~$49,610/acre), this site offers unmatched positioning for a developer ready to deliver 15 to 20 units in Central Florida.
