UPS will use the 399,190-square-foot warehouse on almost 40 acres at 12400 Presidents Court for hub capacity while its Westside Industrial Park center is being expanded.
Property owner LIT Westlake LLC applied for an administrative deviation to the city’s zoning code to increase the maximum number of off-street parking spaces from 220 to 304.
“The tenant (UPS) will have more employees working at this facility than what the parking code will allow,” says the application.
UPS will lease the Westlake structure, previously used by Samsung Electronics America Inc., for additional package-processing capacity while its hub expansion at Westside Industrial Park is under development.
UPS’s renovations at the former Samsung building will cost at least $5.4 million and will be completed this fall in time for the holiday volume surge.
UPS spokeswoman Susan Rosenberg said previously the operation will give UPS extra processing capacity during the November-December holiday season while construction of the Jacksonville hub is underway.
She said the new portion of the Jacksonville hub will be partially open by fall 2018, but the full project won’t be open until fall 2019.
UPS will shift some workers from Westside Industrial Park during the construction.
