A standalone emergency room and a storage facility are proposed along 103rd Street near Interstate 295 in West Jacksonville under a rezoning request headed to Jacksonville City Council.<\/p>\n

On Jan. 6, the Land Use and Zoning Committee voted 6-0 to recommend approval of rezoning a 5.54-acre property at 6916 103rd St. east of the interstate for a Baptist Health standalone emergency room and a separate storage facility business.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The request is to rezone the site from Commercial Community\/General-1 and Commercial Community\/General-2 to a Planned Unit Development.<\/p>\n

A PUD allows uses, regulations and standards tailored to a property.<\/p>\n

The property, across the street from a RaceTrac gas station, is divided into two parcels.<\/p>\n

The site of a standalone emergency room and a storage facility proposed at 6916 103rd St. in West Jacksonville.<\/p>\n

Parcel A, at southwest 103rd Street and Harlow Boulevard, is the 24,000-square-foot emergency room.<\/p>\n

Parcel B is a three-story, 85,500-square-foot storage facility on the southeast corner of the property. The request does not include the name of the storage business.<\/p>\n

It would be the third emergency room along 103rd Street, joining HCA Florida Park West Emergency and Ascension St. Vincent\u2019s Urgent Care, both less than a mile from the planned Baptist location.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other nearby emergency room facilities include the UF Health Emergency & Urgent Care Center and HCA Florida Normandy Park Emergency 4.5 miles north of the planned Baptist site, along with Ascension St. Vincent\u2019s Emergency Care 4 miles south.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

The parcel proposed for a standalone emergency room and a storage facility is across the street from a RaceTrac gas station.<\/p>\n

The rezoning request, Ordinance 2025-0757, advances to a full Council vote, likely on Jan. 13.<\/p>\n

According to a staff report from the city Planning Department, the development is expected in two phases.<\/p>\n

The first phase is the storage facility, the second the medical center.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The PUD also allows for commercial uses of up to 110 multifamily, town house or row house homes.<\/p>\n

Attorney Hayden Phillips, who represents the developer, said the nonmedical uses are a backup if the Baptist plans fall through. At present, only the medical center and storage facility are planned.<\/p>\n

The property is owned by 6916 103rd St LLC, which lists private real estate lender Luis Fajardo of Miami-based Funded Capital as its manager.<\/p>\n

The PUD allows businesses on the property to sell alcohol, though that is not expected to happen, Phillips said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the event things don\u2019t work out with Baptist, we would like to have some flexibility,\u201d Phillips told LUZ members.<\/p>\n
