The City of Jacksonville City Council is reviewing a zoning exception request for a property located at 8602 Baymeadows Road, between Bayberry Road and Baymeadows Way. The applicant, Will Lahnen, is seeking this exception for Babylon Restaurant Lounge & Bar, LLC. The proposal involves allowing the retail sale and service of all alcoholic beverages in conjunction with a restaurant, including outside sales and services, on land currently zoned CCG-1. This item is currently pending review by the City Council, with public hearings scheduled. The project would involve site preparation and potential build-out for a restaurant and bar, including interior and exterior service areas. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage before final plans and permits are issued. Businesses specializing in restaurant construction, bar services, site work, and related trades could find opportunities as the project moves through the approval process.
