The City Council denied a request to rezone approximately 11.38 acres at 7535 Fort Caroline Road in Jacksonville, FL. The proposal sought to change the zoning from Residential Low Density-90 (RLD-90) to Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow for a maximum of 69 townhomes. The property owner is Fort Caroline Christian Church, Inc., and the applicant was Cyndy Trimmer, Esq. The rezoning was denied because the proposed 69 townhomes were found to be inconsistent and incompatible with the existing single-family residential communities and RLD-90 zoning of adjacent properties. The decision was based on the fact that the proposed development deviates from an established and orderly development pattern, as the surrounding area is predominantly single-family subdivisions. Public comments and Planning Department reports reinforced the single-family character of the neighborhood, highlighting that the subject property is surrounded on three sides by single-family homes on large lots. The City Council's final vote to deny the rezoning was 16-0.
