The city is reviewing a permit for construction of a new McDonald’s at 7245 Merrill Road, where the existing McDonald’s will be demolished.
The new 4,598-square-foot restaurant will be developed on 1.07 acres at an estimated $1.24 million.
McDonald’s wants to demolish and rebuild its 41-year-old Arlington restaurant at the Merrill Road and Townsend Boulevard site.
McDonald’s USA LLC is the developer and Integrity Engineering & Development Services Inc. of Dacula, Georgia, is the civil engineer.
The city also is reviewing civil engineering plans.
“The proposed development consists of a scrape and rebuild of an existing McDonald’s replacing it with a new modernized standalone restaurant,” says an introduction filed with the plans.
Property records show McDonald’s Restaurants of Florida Inc. of Jacksonville owns the existing 3,283-square-foot building, which was developed in 1981.
The city also is reviewing a permit for McDonald’s to renovate its restaurant at 454 Cassat Ave. in West Jacksonville at an estimated project cost of $350,000.
The work includes a new front counter, self-order kiosks in the lobby, updated McCafe wall, and dining room and restroom upgrades.
