The Jacksonville City Council has approved the rezoning of approximately 3.15 acres located at 8265 Garden Street, between Helmsley Boulevard and Messer Road, from Agriculture (AGR) to Residential Low Density-100A (RLD-100A). This rezoning aligns with the city's 2045 Comprehensive Plan and facilitates the development of single-family homes in a growing suburban area. The change supports the transition from agricultural to residential use, ensuring consistency with surrounding land use patterns and promoting responsible urban expansion.
This rezoning provides additional residential development opportunities in a transitioning area, supporting Jacksonville’s growth strategy. It encourages suburban expansion and enhances housing availability while maintaining compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods.
