From the JaxDailyRecord.com:

Thursday marked the first official meeting of the Jacksonville Economic Development Commission’s newly-formed Downtown Development Review Board, and the group cut its planning teeth during approval of a much-debated zone change request.

The nine-member, mayor-appointed board that replaced the former Design Review Committee also heard and approved an exception for a monument-style sign at the proposed DuPont Testamentary Trust building on Forest Street in Riverside, as well as approved a deviation from design standards and final review of a new storage building at Fire Station No. 4 on Duval Street.

The DDRB will continue the DRC’s job of reviewing design and build criteria for Downtown projects, but it will also perform Planning Commission duties to review rezoning and zoning exceptions, variances and waivers for any project within the Downtown Zoning Overlay District.
