OCALA, FL (352today.com) – The Marion County Board of County Commissioners approved a land use amendment June 17 for a new development in southeast Marion County, despite concerns about traffic impact, safety, and a lack of buffers.
The Sandy Clay, LLC project, which passed 4–1 with Chair Kathy Bryant dissenting, includes 15.52 acres located on SE 92nd Loop within both the urban growth boundary and primary springs protection area.
