E Park St Center Hill, FL 33514

This 8.7-acre property is located in Center Hill, Florida, an area experiencing increasing population growth. The land is currently zoned R2C with a rural residential future land use. The city and county/city planner indicate that use as cemetery land would require a Special Use Permit from the City of Center Hill and approval from the state. The owner is willing to assist the buyer with this process under an executed contract. Land across the street is currently an existing cemetery. Other uses may be permissible, but cemetery development is considered an ideal use based on potential return on investment and the needs of the growing population. The current owner has already separated the parcel to create a private road on-site to mitigate traffic impact on adjacent properties. According to the City of Center Hill code, cemeteries, crematories, and mausoleums are permissible as special uses where indicated. Development standards include providing adequate ingress/egress for vehicles to avoid impeding traffic on adjacent public streets during funeral processions. Setbacks for grave lots from public roads must match those specified for buildings, and setbacks from adjoining property lines must be 25 feet. Center Hill is positioned to be a central development hub, located in the path of growth from The Villages and Lake County.
