West Jacksonville is on the verge of a major growth spurt, with a new neighborhood taking shape on paper along Yellow Water Road. On Tuesday, the City Council's Land Use and Zoning Committee signed off on a rezoning request that would clear the way for roughly 478 single-family homes on about 112.5 acres in the area. The move sends the proposal to the full City Council for a final vote next Tuesday. If approved, the plan would consolidate two tracts north of Normandy Boulevard into a planned unit development, bringing a mix of smaller-lot houses and new green space.
Committee approves two ordinances
The LUZ panel backed Ordinances 2026-0289 and 2026-0290, which would amend the Future Land Use Map and rezone the property as a Planned Unit Development, according to the Jax Daily Record. Members cast two 6-0 votes to advance the measures, with Rahman Johnson absent from the meeting. The ordinances would let the developer apply custom site-specific rules to the property instead of relying only on the existing agricultural zoning.
Official filings and legal paperwork
City records attached to the case spell out the parcels involved and show that the rezoning is paired with formal land-use changes and ordinance actions. According to the City of Jacksonville, the documents list the ordinance numbers along with the scheduled public hearings before the Planning Commission, the LUZ committee and the full Council.
Plan details and developer
The PUD application limits overall density to five units per acre and would allow as many as 550 homes, although the current site plan shows 478 lots. As reported by the Jax Daily Record, the layout calls for 282 lots measuring 40 by 100 feet, 112 lots at 40 by 110 feet and 84 lots at 50 by 110 feet, with notes pointing to possible future phases. The project is being led by Partridge Hill Capital LLC, and the Florida Division of Corporations lists Andrew Hayman and Morgan McMasters as managers of the company, according to the Florida Division of Corporations.
Next steps and public comment
The full City Council is slated to hold a public hearing and vote on the ordinances next Tuesday. If they get the green light, the developer can move into engineering and permitting. City paperwork lays out the required public notice, hearing sequence and meeting dates tied to the ordinance numbers, and those details are summarized in the City of Jacksonville public notice.
As the proposal heads toward its final vote, neighbors and planners are expected to focus on familiar pressure points, including traffic, stormwater and school capacity. This story will be updated after the Council makes its decision.
