The Land Use & Zoning Committee of the Jacksonville City Council convened at 4:31 PM on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, in the Council Chamber at City Hall (the agenda listed a 4:30 PM start). Chair Joe Carlucci presided, joined by Vice Chair Rory Diamond and members Raul Arias, Reggie Gaffney, Jr., Rahman Johnson, and Randy White; Kevin Carrico was excused. The committee processed a 35-item agenda composed almost entirely of deferrals, continuances, and routine ex parte open/close public-hearing motions, plus a list of second-reading bills. No final votes on land-use applications were taken, and no formal public testimony was delivered.
All right. We are going to go ahead and get started here on the agenda meeting for the land use and zoning committee. It is 431 on September 15th. Welcome everybody out in the audience. So item number one, 2026, 124 is deferred with a public hearing next cycle on November 17th, 2026. Item number two, 226, 125 is deferred. Public hearing next cycle 1117 26.

All right. So we're gonna do open continue until 1020 26. 7, 2026, uh, 524, ex parte, open continue with the camp. This is the companion, right? Yep. Uh, we're gonna open and continue the public hearing until 10 2026. Item number eight, 2026, 532. This is gonna be the start of the show tonight, and we are gonna have this item taken up last because all the other bills are gonna take basically no time at all. So uh that's where we're gonna take that up last. And we have an amendment with some conditions, and I'm sure there was gonna be heavy public participation on this as well. Item number nine, 2026, 556, ex parte, open, close move. Item number 10, 2026, 557 is deferred, and then item number 11, 2026, 558. Uh, that is open continue with no action item on that tonight as well. Are there are there folks here in the audience for 2026 558? Is that the blue shirts out there? Yes, okay. Are y'all familiar with so let the the the committees on how we have uh multiple public hearings and that that we're not gonna be voting on it tonight? So just just for what it's worth, generally when there's no vote, it's more effective to have your public comments heard the the day of the vote, the night of the vote, so to speak. Um you're welcome to fill out public comment cards tonight. Um however it'll be more it'll be well more well received, so to speak, um the day of the vote, which is 106. Is that correct? So October 6 is when we're voting on it. Um so if you come on 10.6, that's generally the the kind of the template of when you come down and like make your case. So if you're here tonight and you're prepared to make your case, that's great. Um, but what happens is sometimes we see one or two things will change between now and October 6th, and then we have to hear all new public hearing again. We have to hear all new comments again. Um, so that's just food for thought, feedback, food for thought for whatever it's worth.
