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

Development Review Committee · 2026-09-14 · agenda_item

Marion County is reviewing a Major Site Plan for the Golden Ocala WEC Flex Z Arena, a proposed equine riding arena building. Tillman & Associates Engineering, LLC is the applicant for the owner/developer. The project is located on parcel 12674-001-00. The applicant is requesting two waivers: one to allow the Major Site Plan to be approved before the Master Plan, and another to allow a flexible number of parking spaces based on a parking study. The item is currently under review and pending a decision by the Development Review Committee. If approved, the project would move forward with site design, stormwater management, erosion control, utilities, landscaping, and construction of the arena building. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site work, building construction, and related trades could compete for work, and reaching out early before final approvals and permits are settled is the advantage.
