After losing a unanimous vote by the Jacksonville Planning Commission, at least 50 residents of the affluent Pablo Creek Reserve gated community and nearby neighborhoods pressed the City Council Land Use and Zoning Committee on Tuesday to deny a rezoning request to transform the Allstate Campus office park into residential, office and retail space rebranded as The Pondry.

This time, they came away with a victory. 

After a public hearing lasting more than two hours, the committee voted 7-0 against rezoning the 30-acre campus near Butler Boulevard and San Pablo Road South from Commercial Office to Planned Unit Development. The action sends legislation containing the rezoning, Ordinance 2024-0828, to the full Council for a vote Dec. 10 with an LUZ recommendation against its passage.
