Golden Ocala WEC Flex Z Arena - Major Site Plan -001129 - Waiver Request to Major Site Plan in Review

Development Review Committee · 2026-08-24 · agenda_item

A major site plan is under review for the Golden Ocala WEC Flex Z Arena, located at Parcel # 12674-001-00. The applicant, Tillman & Associates Engineering, LLC, is requesting waivers related to site disturbance before final site plan approval. This project involves a waiver request to begin site disturbance prior to site plan approval, with final inspection contingent on approval. Temporary erosion and sediment control features must be installed before any site disturbance. The project also seeks waivers from native planting requirements and shade tree criteria for landscape islands, proposing to use Live Oaks as the predominant tree and shift some required plantings to the project perimeter. This review stage means that opportunities for contractors and suppliers are early. The project will likely involve site clearing and grading, installation of temporary erosion controls, and potentially underground utility work once FDEP permits are obtained. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, utility work, and landscaping could find opportunities. Reaching out now, before final site plans, bids, and permits are settled, offers the best chance to compete for this work.
