The Jacksonville City Council approved a large-scale land use amendment for 79.33 acres located at 0, 11201, and 11203 Branan Field Road and 0 Dawsons Creek Drive, reclassifying the land from Rural Residential (RR) to Low Density Residential (LDR). This amendment supports future development of suburban-style residential communities in a growing area west of Cecil Commerce Center Parkway, between Cessna Boulevard and Branan Field Road. The subject property includes multiple parcels and was previously undeveloped. The amendment was transmitted through Florida’s Expedited State Review Process and is intended to bring the site into alignment with the city's 2045 Comprehensive Plan. The property lies within Council District 12 and Planning District 4. The change facilitates suburban residential expansion in an area with increasing housing demand.
This amendment enables residential growth in a strategic location near key infrastructure and employment centers. It marks a shift from rural to suburban development, supporting Jacksonville’s long-term growth management objectives.
