Jacksonville City Council approved the rezoning of 2.04 acres at 7900 Arlington Expressway from CCG-2 to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) to allow for a 96-unit multifamily residential project with integrated commercial and office space. This rezoning is part of a coordinated effort with a companion land use amendment from CGC to HDR and integrates the site with the Phase 1 development to the east and south. The PUD permits zero-foot setbacks, up to 85 feet in building height, and shared parking across parcels. The site lies in the Urban Priority Area, formerly occupied by a restaurant, and is intended for phased development. The design supports high-density urban infill and reflects Jacksonville’s comprehensive plan goals for compact development, housing supply, and corridor revitalization.

Why it Matters

This rezoning enables a high-density, mixed-use residential development that strengthens the urban fabric along Arlington Expressway. It exemplifies smart growth principles and supports Jacksonville’s goals for infill housing and redevelopment.
