Golden Ocala - WEC Multi-Use Field Phase1 - Major Site Plan 32969 - Waiver to Major Site Plan in Review

Development Review Committee · 2026-04-13 · agenda_item

The Development Review Committee is reviewing a major site plan for the Golden Ocala - WEC Multi-Use Field Phase 1 project. This project involves requests for waivers related to stormwater quality criteria, native planting requirements, tree removal procedures, shade tree requirements in parking areas, parking lot islands, service and equipment area screening, and building landscaping. The applicant is seeking to modify pond depths, native species percentages, tree quantities and sizes, and the placement of landscaping. This project is currently under review, with a motion to rehear needed. The scope of work would likely involve site clearing and grading, extensive underground utility and stormwater management system installation, paving for parking and access areas, vertical construction for facilities, and significant landscaping. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, concrete, paving, underground utilities, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and landscaping could find opportunities. Early engagement is advised as plans and permits are still being finalized.
