The site of the long-closed Kmart in the Mandarin area is a step closer to becoming a Home Depot after the Jacksonville City Council Land Use and Zoning Committee approved a rezoning for the property May 7.

The LUZ voted 5-0 in favor of a request to rezone the 11.51-acre property at 9600 San Jose Blvd. to Planned Unit Development to allow the big-box retailer to build a 133,123-square-foot store that includes a 25,225-square-foot garden center. 

Committee member Rory Diamond did not vote and member Raul Arias was excused from the meeting.
