The Jacksonville City Council has approved the rezoning of approximately 29.40 acres at multiple parcels along Aladdin Road and Julington Creek Road from Residential Rural-Acre (RR-Acre) to Planned Unit Development (PUD). The rezoning will facilitate the development of a single-family residential community under the Aladdin Road PUD, allowing for up to 62 dwelling units. The development will include passive open space, internal roadways, and significant buffering to ensure compatibility with surrounding residential areas. The PUD framework establishes specific lot size and density requirements, with maximum densities of 2.3 dwelling units per acre for the primary development parcel and 2 total dwelling units for a separate retained parcel. The rezoning aligns with Jacksonville’s 2045 Comprehensive Plan and provides enhanced residential opportunities while maintaining environmental protections.
This rezoning supports Jacksonville’s suburban residential expansion while ensuring thoughtful land use planning. It provides new single-family housing opportunities, integrates natural conservation areas, and aligns with the city’s long-term growth strategy.
