The Jacksonville Planning Commission last week approved the first step to rezone the Seaside Community Charter School site at 2630 Florida A1A for single-family homes or townhomes.
Owner and applicant JDB Real Property Investors LLC through Ordinance 2018-130 seeks to rezone the 23.69 acres to the residential Planned Unit Development.
The owner purchased the former mobile home park in 2005 and completed rezoning in 2007. The property is in the Mayport area.
That rezoning was for proposed multifamily residential uses known as the Creekside planned unit development, which consisted of a larger 45.12 acre parcel for up to 534 multifamily units.
A 15-acre portion of the initial parcel is now Anthem Lakes Waterview Senior Living.
In 2014, the property was rezoned again to permit a school as an alternative development option to residential uses.
The current plan proposes either a maximum of 85 single-family detached homes or a maximum of 230 townhomes. The proposed single-family homes will be on 40-foot-wide lots.
According to the written description submitted with the application, the school will remain until the residential use is developed.
The commission met March 22.
Triple Net Equities Ltd. wants to develop the former Applebee’s site in Mandarin with a 6,000-square-foot building for retail and restaurant use.
Triple Net Equities bought the property in February.
The Jacksonville zoning administrator on Friday heard a request for an administrative deviation for the 0.4-acre parcel at 10502 San Jose Blvd.
It is an outparcel at the Courtyard Shopping Center. The Applebee’s building was demolished in 2014.
Triple Net Equities seeks to reduce requirements for off-street parking from 18 to zero spaces and eliminate requirements for a landscape buffer along the south and west property lines.
Parking for the development will be accommodated through an existing perpetual parking easement for 32 spaces on the adjacent shopping center property, according to the request.
Parking and landscaping deviations previously were granted in 2009 and 2016, but have expired.
The Jacksonville Planning Department recommended approval with the condition the dumpster enclosure indicated on the proposed site plan be oriented to preserve the existing trees at the northwest corner of the site.
