The final approval rezones approximately 18.99 acres located at 0 & 7175 Justamere Road, Jacksonville, Florida, from Residential Medium Density-A and Planned Unit Development to a new PUD to allow for the development of 216 townhomes. The area was previously approved for 206 townhomes, but this rezoning adds an additional 10 units, along with a 3.62-acre parcel to the development. The project complies with the 2045 Comprehensive Plan and supports medium-density residential use. The project is subject to conditions, including requirements for site work permits prior to excavations or the clearing of protected trees.
This decision is crucial as it facilitates the development of much-needed townhomes in Jacksonville, increasing housing availability in a growing area while adhering to the city's comprehensive development plan. It also supports the efficient use of land in a medium-density residential zone.
