Rezoning for the Jacksonville Surf Park drew final City Council approval Tuesday, ushering in a potential era when surfers in Northeast Florida will no longer have to rely on ocean conditions to catch waves.
Council voted 18-0 on legislation granting a rezoning request for the 55.27-acre mixed-use development in eTown, where plans by global surf park creator Aventuur and area partners center on a wave-generating lagoon that offers up to 1,000 waves an hour. Council member Tyrona Clark-Murray was not present for the vote.
