The Jacksonville City Council approved a small-scale land use amendment for approximately 0.4 acres located at 1665 9th Street West and 1910 Grunthal Street. The change reclassifies the property from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Medium Density Residential (MDR), facilitating the development of missing middle housing. The amendment was submitted by Rebecca Davis on behalf of Rebuilding Ex-Offenders Successfully Through Opportunities Rehabilitation & Education, Inc. and A.J. Anderson Construction, LLC. This change supports construction of a four-unit quadplex, compatible with surrounding land uses in District 7 and consistent with the 2045 Comprehensive Plan. The property is located between 9th Street West and 10th Street West, west of Grunthal Street. The amendment was recommended for approval by the Planning Department, Planning Commission, and LUZ Committee following multiple public hearings.
This amendment enables infill housing in an urban core neighborhood, promoting compact development and increasing housing availability for low- to moderate-income families. It supports Jacksonville’s vision for mixed-density, equitable housing growth.
