Publix Super Markets Inc. is seeking regulatory approvals to demolish and replace its store at Deerwood Village in the Baymeadows area.
It was one of the first Publix stores in the area when built in 1974.
The St. Johns River Water Management District is reviewing an application received Oct. 26 for the redevelopment of the Publix site at 9964 Old Baymeadows Road.
It is west of Southside Boulevard between Old Baymeadows Road and Baymeadows Road.
Lakeland-based Publix Super Markets Inc. proposes to demolish and replace the existing Publix.
The new development will comprise a 47,240-square-foot Publix with an adjacent 1,400-square-foot store that is likely a Publix Liquors store.
The site is 5.64 acres, including the parking lot.
England-Thims & Miller Inc. of Jacksonville is the civil engineer.
The city issued Mobility Fee Calculation and Concurrency Reservation certificates in August 2022 for the project.
Those plans showed 58,943 square feet of existing structures will be replaced with a smaller one.
The two buildings now on the site comprise an almost 45,500-square-foot supermarket and the adjacent 12,350-square-foot CVS Pharmacy at 9962 Old Baymeadows Road. CVS is not identified on the new master site plan.
Both structures were built in 1974.
Publix Super Markets Inc. owns the buildings and the parking lot, which is shown as accommodating 230 cars.
The city calculated no mobility fee for the traffic impact. The property use remains the same.
The Publix is one of the first three that opened in Jacksonville in the early 1970s.
One of the first two was in Arlington at the Expressway Mall, which was demolished.
That site now is being developed with town houses.
