A St. Johns County rezoning request could pave the way for a RaceTrac gas station and convenience store in Hastings.
As the project representative, the Jacksonville-based Rogers Tower law firm made the request Dec. 3. on behalf of landowner Palm Coast-based Extreme FW Investments LLC.
The rezoning would change the site from Open Rural, Commercial Intensive and Highway and Tourist to Planned Unit Development.
The Atlanta-based company plans to develop the station at 10110 U.S. 1 S., less than a quarter-mile south of Florida 204 and southwest of Interstate 95.
Connelly & Wicker Inc., of Jacksonville, is the civil engineer.
Site plans show eight fueling stations with 16 pumps for cars and eight fueling stations for tractor-trailers. There is an 8,100-square-foot convenience store.
Food service includes breakfast items, pizza, sandwiches, subs, ice cream and frozen yogurt.
Future development calls for a 5,000-square-foot fireworks store.
