What does CCG-2 zoning mean in Jacksonville?

CCG-2, Commercial Community/General-2, is a higher-intensity general commercial district under Chapter 656, typically used for larger-format retail and corridor commercial uses than the CCG-1 tier. Specific use and intensity limits should be confirmed against the current Chapter 656 text and any applicable overlay.

How do I find the zoning for an address in Jacksonville?

Because Jacksonville is a consolidated city-county government, the City of Jacksonville Planning and Development Department's zoning atlas covers nearly the entire county outside the Beaches cities and Baldwin. Parcel-level ownership and legal description data comes from the Duval County Property Appraiser.

Does Jacksonville use Planned Unit Developments for large residential projects?

Yes. Jacksonville relies heavily on its PUD process for master-planned mixed-use and large residential tracts, which lets a developer negotiate site-specific standards rather than fit the project into a standard district like RLD or RMD.

Jacksonville, FL zoning map & districts

Jacksonville is a consolidated city-county government: its zoning code, Chapter 656 of the Ordinance Code, covers nearly all of Duval County (the Beaches cities and Baldwin remain separately incorporated and zone themselves). The City Council approves rezonings on recommendation from the Planning Commission, and the Downtown Investment Authority administers a separate overlay covering the urban core. Because the jurisdiction spans roughly 875 square miles, the same code has to stretch from dense downtown parcels to rural-residential acreage near the county line, so district families run from Rural Residential-Acre through Commercial Central Business District.

A published summary is never the authority. The adopted ordinance and the city's official zoning map govern, and both change — verify the district and every standard on your parcel before you rely on it.

How zoning works in Jacksonville

Developers should watch for the St. Johns River waterfront setback and buffer rules, the Downtown Overlay Zone's separate design-review track, and Jacksonville's Planned Unit Development (PUD) process, which is used heavily for master-planned mixed-use and large residential tracts rather than relying on straight rezonings.
