Ocala Highlands Estates - Final Plat - 000834 - Waiver to Final Plat in Review

Development Review Committee · 2026-09-21 · agenda_item

Ocala Highlands Estates is a proposed final plat under review by the Marion County Development Review Committee. The applicant, Majestic Homes FL, is seeking a waiver to the required E-Type landscape buffer for this residential subdivision. The property is identified as parcel number 1471-024-003. The waiver is being re-heard from the August 3, 2026, DRC meeting because the previously conditioned approval requirements could not be met. The standard code requires a five-foot-wide landscape strip with shade trees, shrubs, and groundcover, but the applicant requests to omit this buffer. The item is currently pending review, meaning the project is in the early planning stage. If approved, the project would involve site preparation, landscaping, and residential construction, creating opportunities for contractors, suppliers, and service providers. Local businesses in site work, landscaping, and residential building trades should reach out early to learn about potential work before plans and permits are finalized.
