Jacksonville Council proposes temporary ban on construction

Filed Under Jacksonville property development 

Concerns are being raised at the number of condo projects popping up throughout Riverside and Avondale with the latest complaints being directed at the planned St Johns Village Center. Many people are concerned that the latest condos don’t really fit into the neighbourhood as well as the traffic they attract.

This has prompted a member of the Jacksonville City Council to propose a temporary moratorium on rezoning applications and construction of buildings higher than 35 feet. Under the proposal, the ban would stay in place until the middle of next year and a consultant would make recommendations to keep the integrity of the area intact.

The proposal has attracted its fair share of supporters and opponents.
