Gateway Shopping Mall RV and boat storage
Summary
Part of Jacksonville's first shopping center would become self-storage (including boat and RV units) plus a JTA training facility. Brentwood residents called it another unwanted dumping on the Northside and demanded a traffic study and better jobs; the committee added an 8-foot fence, 30-foot setback and traffic-study conditions before approving.
