Miller’s Ale House applied to the city for a mobility fee calculation certificate to redevelop the former Buca di Beppo location at The Avenues mall.
Miller’s Ale House at The Avenues is shown as a 7,150-square-foot restaurant on 2.5 acres at 10334 Southside Blvd. It would be Miller’s Ale House’s fifth Jacksonville location.
The city already is reviewing a permit application for “new construction” of a Miller’s Ale House at the site at a project cost of $1.2 million.
A permit application shows that Orlando-based Miller’s Ale House Inc. wants to develop a 7,149-square-foot restaurant.
A civil plan filed with the city Tuesday says the project will consist of partial site demolition, building construction and site work.
The 8,180-square-foot Buca di Beppo was built for $850,000 in 2003. It appears to have operated for almost 15 years, closing Dec. 30.
Miller’s Ale House plans indicate 241 seats, comprising 166 inside and 75 in the patio room. Interior seating includes 22 bar seats.
Cuhaci & Peterson Architects Engineers Planners of Orlando is the project architect. Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc. is the civil engineer.
