The Jacksonville City Council approved a small-scale land use amendment to reclassify approximately 9.56 acres at 7960 Arlington Expressway from Community/General Commercial (CGC) and Residential-Professional-Institutional (RPI) to High Density Residential (HDR). The property is located between Arlington Road North and Century Street and is owned by 8000 Realco, LLC. The change supports redevelopment of the site into multifamily housing with potential integration of related uses. This amendment accompanies a concurrent rezoning to a Planned Unit Development (PUD) for a mixed-use residential project. The site lies within Council District 1 and was formerly developed with commercial buildings. The amendment aligns with Jacksonville's 2045 Comprehensive Plan and supports infill development, corridor revitalization, and increased housing density.
This amendment unlocks high-density residential development potential in a key urban corridor, promoting housing supply and supporting smart growth along Arlington Expressway.
