JACKSONVILLE — Another Jacksonville’s restaurant plans on going wet; Lindo Mexico has requested a zone change from “G”-Commercial District to “G-Special Use” to allow for the service of alcohol within the restaurant.
This request will be considered at the city council’s upcoming meeting Tuesday at 6 p.m. It will take place in the Norman Activity Center and will be open to the public.
If approved, Lindo Mexico will become able to serve alcohol in the restaurant regardless of whether Jacksonville itself legalizes alcohol sales within the city.
