The City of Ocala has approved the termination of an agreement that limited density for two parcels of land, identified as Parcel 2830-000-01 and 23812-000-00. This approval, made by the City Council on May 5, 2026, removes previous restrictions on how much can be built on these properties.

Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor these parcels for future development opportunities. Reaching out to the property owner or relevant city departments early could provide an advantage as plans begin to form.
