The Jacksonville City Council has approved the rezoning of a 0.6-acre property at 2403 Market Street N from Industrial Light (IL) to Planned Unit Development (PUD). This decision allows for the redevelopment of an existing 12,657 sqft warehouse into a mixed-use entertainment facility featuring a food park, mini-golf course, art gallery, playground, and splash pad. The PUD designation enables a broader range of commercial uses while eliminating some intensive industrial operations. The property is adjacent to the Phoenix Arts District and is expected to enhance community engagement through entertainment and social spaces. Conditions imposed include no amplified music after 10 PM and regulated outdoor lighting to minimize impact on nearby residences.
This rezoning unlocks a new entertainment hub in Jacksonville's New Springfield district, promoting economic development while revitalizing an underutilized industrial space. It aligns with the city’s 2045 Comprehensive Plan and supports the growing trend of mixed-use recreational developments.
