The Jacksonville City Council has approved a small-scale land use amendment to the Future Land Use Map Series of the 2045 Comprehensive Plan, changing the designation of approximately 0.40 acres at 1665 9th Street West and 1910 Grunthal Street from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Medium Density Residential (MDR). This amendment allows for the development of workforce housing, enhancing housing options in Council District 7. The change ensures consistency with nearby land uses and supports Jacksonville’s efforts to expand affordable housing opportunities.
This amendment facilitates the development of much-needed workforce housing, addressing Jacksonville's growing housing demand. It also promotes efficient land use by increasing residential density in an area well-suited for multifamily housing.
