The St. Johns County Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval of a land use amendment, rezoning and amendment to the road capacity charge April 16 for Durbin Park to add a Flagler Health+ medical campus and other changes.
Flagler Health+ plans a 375,000-square-foot medical campus development with 150 beds, offices and potentially an educational component, according to the applicant’s agent, land use attorney Elle Avery-Smith with Rogers Towers.
The 1,281-acre Durbin Park is south of Race Track Road, east and west of Interstate 95 and Florida 9B.
Jacksonville-based Durbin Creek National LLC owns the property.
The applications also seek to change the phasing of development rights and timing of road improvements to expedite hospital construction.
Avery-Smith said hospital construction is anticipated to begin in the summer.
The Board of County Commissioners is scheduled to address the amendments and rezoning May 19.
