The Jacksonville City Council approved the rezoning of 14.38 acres located at 0, 11863, and 11915 New Kings Road from Commercial Community/General-1 (CCG-1) and a 2004 PUD to Industrial Light (IL) zoning. The change aligns with a companion land use amendment to Light Industrial (LI) for 3.61 acres on the site and brings the full property into consistency with the 2045 Comprehensive Plan. The rezoning supports industrial development along a key FDOT principal arterial corridor and fits within an area characterized by warehousing and light manufacturing. Although adjacent to a residential subdivision, natural wetlands provide a significant buffer between uses. The application was found consistent with city planning policies and received full approval from the Planning Commission, LUZ Committee, and North CPAC.
This rezoning enables infill development of light industrial uses along a strategic commercial corridor, promoting economic activity while preserving separation from residential neighborhoods.
