What This Bill Does
The developer of the Golden Ocala WEC Multi-Use Field is requesting permission to begin construction on several structures before the final site plan is officially approved. If granted, this would allow the city to issue building permits for a restaurant, restrooms, storage, maintenance, and seating areas while the formal review process is still ongoing.
This request determines whether the developer can bypass standard site plan approval timelines to begin building specific facilities at their own financial risk.
