West Oak Townhouses Conceptual Subdivision

Ocala, FL February 3, 2026 - February 3, 2026

Summary

This conceptual subdivision plan proposes the development of 150 multi-family residential townhouse lots on 17.83 acres within the larger West Oak Planned Development (PD) in Ocala. The site, identified as Parcels 21385-003-00 and 21385+000010 (a replat of Lot 3 and Tract J of West Oak Phase 1), is zoned PD with a Medium Intensity/Special District Future Land Use designation.

Key Development Details:

  • Units & Density: 150 townhouses with a gross density of 8.4 units per acre.
  • Infrastructure: The development will feature 0.53 miles of new roadway, connecting to central water and sewer services provided by the City of Ocala, and Ocala Electric Utilities. Stormwater maintenance will be managed by a Homeowners Association (HOA).
  • Setbacks: Minimum setbacks include 10 feet front, 5 feet side (or 0 feet for zero lot line, 10 feet for corner lots), and 10 feet rear. Townhouses will be set back 20 feet from the lot line to accommodate driveway parking.
  • Open Space: The plan provides 6.73 acres of open space, exceeding the minimum 3.57 acres (20%) required for the project area.

The City Engineer's Office recommends approval, contingent on a developer's agreement for construction and maintenance, and will be considered concurrently with the overall West Oak PD Concurrency Development Agreement.

Citizen Impact

This project will add 150 new townhouse units to the Ocala housing market, potentially increasing housing options in the area. Residents can expect new local roadways and infrastructure, with stormwater facilities maintained by an HOA.
