A proposed Chick-fil-A restaurant that has drawn opposition from residents in a North Jacksonville neighborhood returns to the agenda of the City Council Land Use and Zoning Committee on June 4 after being deferred for consideration of a traffic study.
Plans for the restaurant, which would be located near First Coast High School along Duval Station Road, have prompted dozens of residents of the North Creek subdivision and nearby communities to turn out to Council and community meetings to express concerns that it would create traffic congestion, reduce traffic safety, block access to the subdivision and would be too close to nearby homes, among other issues.
Most recently, the proposed restaurant was the subject of a May 20 community meeting focused on the 658-page traffic study.
