Jacksonville City Council approved the rezoning of 0.4 acres located at 1665 9th Street West and 1910 Grunthal Street from Residential Low Density-60 (RLD-60) to Residential Medium Density-B (RMD-B). This action accompanies a previously adopted small-scale land use amendment from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential. The change supports development of a four-unit quadplex to be constructed by A.J. Anderson Construction in partnership with Rebuilding Ex-Offenders Successfully Through Opportunities Rehabilitation & Education, Inc. The rezoning is located within the Urban Priority Development Area and will take advantage of existing JEA water and sewer service. It aligns with policies of the 2045 Comprehensive Plan and Jacksonville’s Urban Core Vision Plan, emphasizing infill housing, increased density, and housing diversity within historic neighborhoods.
This rezoning enables construction of new affordable, multi-family housing in Jacksonville's core, supporting local reinvestment and efforts to address housing shortages while preserving compatibility with existing neighborhood character.
