The Jacksonville City Council approved the rezoning of approximately 15.8 acres of land located at 0 Julington Creek Road and 12515 Aladdin Road from Residential Rural-Acre (RR-Acre) to Conservation (CSV) zoning. This action was taken to establish permanent conservation status for the site, which borders a new residential PUD project and serves as a natural buffer along Oldfield Creek. The rezoning will preserve environmentally sensitive lands, prevent further development, and enhance compatibility with nearby residential areas. The subject property includes portions of RE #158204-0000 and RE #158204-1000 and lies within Council District 6. The rezoning aligns with Jacksonville’s 2045 Comprehensive Plan, which encourages conservation zoning to protect key ecological areas within suburban development contexts.
The rezoning secures long-term environmental protection for nearly 16 acres of land adjacent to a new residential development. It supports sustainable land use practices and provides a vital buffer between new housing and surrounding natural features.
