Jacksonville Ordinance Code § 656.310 Purpose and intent.

Sec. 656.310. - Purpose and intent. Commercial categories provide for sales and service activities, such as retail, personal and professional services, offices, hotels, entertainment, and amusement facilities. Commercial recreation and entertainment activities, such as amusement parks and marinas, are also allowed in this category. Multiple-family dwellings, when developed as part of an integrated mixed use project, are also permitted in some categories consistent with the Medium Density Residential and High Density Residential Category regulations and other provisions of Part 3. Not all potential uses are permissible anywhere in the commercially designated areas. The exact type of land use and the density or intensity appropriate at any one location will be determined using the criteria and standards in this Chapter and in the Operative Provisions of the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
