The ordinance rezones approximately 5.24 acres located at 3707 Newcomb Road from Residential Rural-Acre (RR-Acre) to Residential Medium Density-A (RMD-A). This rezoning supports the development of up to 64 townhome units on the property. The rezoning aligns with the 2045 Comprehensive Plan and aims to increase residential density, consistent with adjacent RMD-A zoned properties. The project faced community concerns regarding lot sizes and density but was approved following review and advisory recommendations.
This rezoning allows for increased housing density in an area with growing residential demand, providing more housing options while promoting efficient land use and aligning with Jacksonville’s comprehensive plan.
