More than two dozen opponents of plans to transform the 30-acre Allstate Campus office park into residential, office and retail space turned out Nov. 21 as the project developer sought a recommendation by the Jacksonville Planning Commission to rezone the property.
Homeowners living near the property, which has been rebranded as The Pondry, spoke against the rezoning, saying it would create traffic congestion and would be incompatible with the low-density neighborhoods surrounding it.
They also opposed the layout of the residential properties in the plan, which are placed on a parking lot that buffer homes to the south and west.
