How is Jacksonville zoned?
Jacksonville's zoning map operates at a scale no other Florida city matches, because the city is consolidated with its county. Planned Unit Development covers roughly 138,143 acres and Agriculture about 110,028. Those two figures alone exceed the total land area of most cities in this dataset.
With 47 zoning districts, the roster is compact relative to that territory, and the residential system carries a number stating the lot width premise. Residential Low Density appears at 60, 70, 90 and 100A, with the 60 district covering roughly 48,762 acres. A Rural Residential Acre district adds about 41,528 acres, marking the genuinely rural parts of the consolidated city.
The scale of the planned unit development share is the key diligence point. With well over a hundred thousand acres under that designation, most large sites in Jacksonville are governed by an approved plan rather than by the citywide district tables.
Water is its own district at roughly 36,658 acres, and Conservation covers about 22,667. Public Buildings And Facilities appears in three numbered districts together covering over thirty-seven thousand acres. Industrial runs light, heavy, business park and a water-oriented industrial district, together exceeding thirty-four thousand acres. Commercial Community General appears in two numbered versions.

Jacksonville zoning: frequently asked questions

- They state the lot width premise. Residential Low Density appears at 60, 70, 90 and 100A, with the 60 district covering roughly 48,762 acres, making it the largest residential classification by a wide margin.
- How much land is under planned unit development?
