Old Kings School Rezoned for 110 Homes | Jacksonville News

San Jose’s former Kings Trail Elementary School is set for a dramatic transformation as Dream Finders Homes prepares to build 110 homes on the 12-acre site, after city council approval. The neighborhood association pushed back hard—demanding traffic controls, wetland and tree protections, a landscape buffer, age-restricted community status, and height limits. While not all demands were met, concessions included a six-foot fence, a buffer along Old Kings Road, and a reduced max height from 35 to 30 feet. The developer’s deep pockets vs. volunteer neighbors created tension, especially when the city’s planning department said traffic would be manageable—but the neighborhood hired their own engineer who disagreed. With a $25K deposit already paid on the $3.75M deal, the sale is poised to close, sparking both hope and concern for what this development means for the community.
