What is expected to be a two-part public hearing on a proposal to build a Chick-fil-A restaurant in North Jacksonville near First Coast High School began Tuesday, with several nearby residents turning out to urge City Council to reject the project.
North Creek subdivision resident Robin Hood — “That’s my real name,” he told council members — said more than 30 of his neighbors attended the council meeting in opposition to the restaurant and that “you’re going to see even more of us” at the second part of the public hearing.
The second portion is scheduled for Feb. 13.
