Parking Depth Waiver Request for Ocala Crossings South Phase 4

Original title: Ocala Crossings South Phase 4 - Improvement Plan 33207 - Waiver to Improvement Plan in Review Parcel #: 35623-005-00 #WaiverPIR-000795-2026 Mastroserio Engineering, Inc. LDC 6.11.8.B(2)(3) - Parking Requirements CODE states (2) A one-car garage or carport and driveway combination shall count as two off-street parking spaces provided the driveway measures a minimum of 25 feet in length between the face of the garage or carport door and the sidewalk, or 30 feet to the curb line. (3) A two-car garage or carport and driveway combination shall count as four off-street parking spaces, provided the minimum width of the driveway is 20 feet and its minimum length is as specified above for a one-car garage or carport. APPLICANT - A waiver is requested to reduce the parking depth from 25 ft to 20 ft from the two-car garage to the back of sidewalk for lots with sidewalk frontage. The lots with no sidewalk comply with this section of code, depth being 33 ft from the back curb to the face of the garage. The basis for the waiver request is that this is the final phase of a 5-phase development, and the master PUD plan was approved with 20 ft front building setbacks. This matter should have been addressed with the PUD process and not at this final stage of development. The home builders have constructed the majority of homes with the garage set at the 20 ft front setback. Based on discussion with staff, a waiver is requested for the parking depth to keep consistent with the existing PUD. Furthermore, code parking spaces require 18 feet depth, and we have 20 feet to the sidewalk.
