Opposition to a proposed food truck park along SE Highway 484 may be broader than what county documents initially reflected. Marion County planning staff noted in its Jan. 26 Planning and Zoning report that one formal letter of opposition had been received at the time the report was distributed.
However, residents of the nearby Tropicana Village subdivision say the documented opposition does not capture the full response from the neighborhood. According to residents, multiple letters, a petition with roughly 100 signatures, and in-person comments from dozens of residents were presented during the public meeting.
Neighbors say they plan to return in larger numbers when the proposal goes before the Board of County Commissioners on Feb. 17 at 2 p.m. The project would allow a permanent food truck park with up to 24 trucks and a central open-air dining pavilion on a vacant two-acre site near residential neighborhoods.
