Understanding Zones in the LDC

The Jax Beach Zoning Map (right) identifies the different “zones” in the City. These zones are referred to in the LDC and dictate what a property owner can do in each zone.

Residential zones are labeled RS-1, RS-2, RS-3 (RS stands for Single Family Residential), RM-1, and RM-2 (Residential Multi-Family). Similarly, C-1, C-2, CPO, and CS are commercial zones. I-1 is the industrial zone, and downtown comprises the CBD (Central Business District) and RD (Redevelopment District) zones.

PUDs are Planned Unit Developments, each with its own development criteria.

The easiest way to determine how your property is zoned is to click on the map and find your property. Note the color it is in, which identifies the zone. Then, you can click on the link below to see the main changes.
