Ace Hardware is planning a Nocatee store across the street from Ponte Vedra High School along Davis Park Road.
It will be its eighth location in St. Johns County.
According to a JEA service availability request submitted Feb. 24, the store is planned less than a mile south of Nocatee Parkway and about 2 miles west of the Intracoastal Waterway.
A map shows the store across from the Ponte Vedra High tennis courts.
The high school is at 460 Davis Park Road.
Site plans show a 24,000-square-foot building with a 10,000-square-foot garden center.
The land is owned by Sonoc Co. LLC, part of the Davis family, which is developing Nocatee.
