The Nassau County Planning and Zoning Board unanimously approved plans Sept. 17 for Station 904, a mixed-use development that will add multifamily units and about 126,500 square feet of commercial and office space to Yulee.
Station 904 amenities will include a clubhouse, dog park, future transit area, park, public art and a trail system.
The county’s Development Review Committee approved site plans July 30.
Station 904 is proposed on 32.17 acres at North Harts Road and William Burgess Boulevard, east of Interstate 95 and about a mile south of Florida 200. The property is within the 198-acre Nassau Crossing Planned Unit Development.
There will be 360 multifamily units of one, two and three bedrooms, with 15% required to be classified as affordable housing for tenants making at 80% or less of the area median income. The remaining 17 residential units at Station 904 will be live-work cottages.
The commercial space will comprise 77,250 square feet and the office component will be 49,250 square feet. Site plans show 859 parking spaces.
The development is west of a CSX rail track. The historic-themed designs will incorporate train elements, according to a staff report.
Jacksonville-based Matovina & Company, through Patriot Ridge LLP, owns the land and is the master developer for the Nassau Crossing PUD.
In 2019 developer Greg Matovina said Nassau Crossing could include up to 800 residential units and public spaces, including trails, a playing field and a playground with a “vintage Florida railroad” theme.
A Sept. 12 Nassau County Planning Department monitoring report said 347 units in the PUD are completed and issued certificates of occupancy in a parcel north of Station 904. According to the Morgan Real Estate firm, the median list price for a Nassau Crossing town home is $264,950 and for a single-family home is $365,000.
The public elements south of the project are complete, the report said.
England-Thims & Miller Inc. of Jacksonville is the civil engineer.
