The Mayo Clinic Jacksonville has successfully rezoned 579.21 acres in Council District 3 from a mix of Residential Rural-Acre (RR-Acre), Commercial Office (CO), and Planned Unit Development (PUD) to a new PUD. This expansive rezoning allows for the development of a comprehensive medical campus, including medical facilities, related uses, and hotel accommodations. The decision includes stringent conditions, such as restrictions on sign heights and requirements for traffic studies during civil site plan review. The Mayo Clinic's plan is set to expand its current footprint, providing enhanced medical services and infrastructure to support Jacksonville’s growing healthcare needs.
This rezoning is crucial as it enables the Mayo Clinic to significantly expand its medical facilities, contributing to Jacksonville’s reputation as a medical hub and providing vital healthcare services to the region. The development is poised to bring economic growth, job creation, and improved healthcare access.
