Jacksonville City Council approved a small-scale land use amendment for 2.04 acres located at 7900 Arlington Expressway, between Arlington Road North and Century Street. The amendment reclassifies the site from Community/General Commercial (CGC) to High Density Residential (HDR), allowing for future redevelopment with multi-family residential housing. The property is part of a broader effort to promote housing density in urban corridors and improve land use efficiency. The ordinance was adopted in coordination with a companion rezoning application. The change supports goals from the 2045 Comprehensive Plan related to infill development, housing supply, and walkable community design.
This amendment allows for the transformation of underutilized commercial land into higher-density residential housing along a major corridor. It supports Jacksonville’s vision for urban housing growth and mixed-use corridor revitalization.
