The Planning & Zoning Commission for Marion County will review a zoning change request on September 28, 2026, for a large mixed-use development. The applicant, 49th Street Gateway LLC, is proposing to change the zoning of a 105-acre site from General Agriculture (A-1) and an expired Planned Unit Development (PUD) to a new PUD for mixed use. The property is located at 5110 and 5500 NW 44th Avenue in Ocala, Florida. The proposed project would allow for a maximum of 535 residential dwellings, a 500-room hotel (500,000 square feet), 450,000 square feet of retail space, 100,000 square feet of office space, an 11,000 square foot restaurant, and a 3,500 square foot fast food restaurant. This item is currently pending review, meaning it is in the early planning stage and has not been approved or built. If approved, the project would set in motion a wide range of work, including site clearing and grading, stormwater management, utility installation, road and driveway paving, building construction for residential, hotel, retail, office, and restaurant spaces, and final landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site work, general contracting, all construction trades, engineering, and landscaping should reach out early to the staff contact to learn about potential opportunities before site plans and bids are finalized.
