The Heath Brook PD was conceptually approved by the Ocala City Council in September 2018. The plan originally included 429 multifamily units and 396 single-family units. 

The new plan calls for 329 multifamily units that comprise Parkside Oaks and 391 single-family units that comprise the Ridge at Heath Brook. 

The plan and plat for the first 99 units in Phase 1 of the Ridge at Heath Brook were also recommended for approval during Monday’s commission meeting.

Parkside Oaks will be located just south of the new VA Clinic currently under construction in Ocala. 

The Ocala Planning and Zoning Commission makes recommendations that are accepted or rejected by the Ocala City Council. The city council’s decisions are final. 

The Ocala Planning and Zoning Commission will next meet on Monday, September 13, at 5:30 p.m. at Ocala City Hall, which is located at 110 SE Watula Avenue. For more information, visit the Ocala Planning and Zoning Commission webpage.
